more. Stimulate them to action.

12. Read your audience's reaction. Learn to dance
with them. You lead, they will follow.

13. Ask for angled or curved seating, so the
audience can see each other's reactions.

last things you discuss, plus those which are
outstanding, relevant, and repeated.

15. FOR A SHORT SPEECH: Identify your topic. Write
the conclusion you want to reach. Write your

illustration that proves each point. Add linkage
to bridge the gap between (transitions).
