An effective speech or presentation means understanding the basics of delivering it.

Your opening is the most important part of your speech. You establish your credibility from the moment you enter the stage or room. You set the tone with your opening words. Plan your opening to catch and hold the attention of the audience and establish rapport. Memorize it, be able to say it in your sleep and deliver it with vitality and enthusiasm. If you have a humorous story that is pertinent to your topic, include it.

Organize your ideas in a logical, comprehensive format or segment. Depending on the makeup of the audience, bring in illustrations and stories that are relevant, including their occupations or hobbies.

Cover each segment in detail and recap it briefly to strengthen your message before moving on to the next section. Keep transitions clear. Speak in a natural, conversational tone. Avoid words that are too big and sentences that are too long.

In closing, summarize your main points. Conclude with a memorable closing, no longer than a short paragraph, that you have memorized. It can be a quote that is particularly relevant or your own thought. The purpose of the closing is to leave the audience with something to think about and take home with them. If there's time, ask for questions, or make yourself available.
