What do you like about this subject?  For many people, public speaking is such an overwhelming fear, and with just a little coaching, ANYONE can overcome this fear. It is very exciting for me to see confidence grow in people with just a few minor changes.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  90% of nervousness doesn't even show. In fact, with a few simple tips, a person can use nervousness to his/her advantage in front of a group.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Memorizing a written speach is the worst way to prepare for a talk. It will just make the speaker more nervous.
