This is some great advice. I totally agree with the "it feels natural and ad-lib but it's not." If something is really well organized, one topic will naturally flow into the other (also, it's easier to adlib with well organized presentations, I find). One way I frame the first bit of advice (about having a theme, and keeping it to the theme) is my favorite line from Planes, Trains, & Automobiles: "When you're telling a story, have a point! It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JLbAePwoHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JLbAePwoHQ
