Here's a secret that speakers have to keep in mind, especially when they feel that the audience is huge and unforgiving.
The secret is...nobody knows that you made a mistake.
They don't know that you forgot your outline, or that you left out part of your story or that you got two points out of sequence.
Nobody knows. So, who cares?

Remember, a script or an outline is a goal, not a mandate.
While you may have wanted it to go a bit differently, the fact is, the audience doesn't know.
How can they be disappointed? How can they be critical?
They're not sitting out there with a script and pointing out the parts you forgot or butchered.
Remember, a script or an outline is a goal, not a mandate. Who's to know if you didn't deliver it exactly as you wrote it? And, for that matter, who's to say what you said on the platform isn't better than the way your wrote it?
Leave room for a little inspiration and improvisation. The audience will think it came off just like you planned.
