7 Tips

1. Use signpost language: Guide your listeners through your speech with clear verbal markers.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Start with phrases like “First,” “Next,” or “Finally” to help listeners follow your sequence of ideas
      2. Use transition phrases such as “For example,” “In contrast,” or “Similarly” to show relationships between ideas
      3. Indicate shifts in topic with phrases like “Moving on to,” “Turning to,” or “Let’s now discuss”
2. Implement the rule of three: Organize information in groups of three for maximum impact and memorability.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Structure your main arguments or examples in sets of three whenever possible
      2. Use three-part lists to make your points more memorable and impactful
      3. Apply the pattern of setup, confrontation, and resolution when telling stories or presenting cases
3. Practice active listening: Improve your own speaking by becoming a better listener first.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Observe how effective speakers organize and deliver their messages
      2. Pay attention to the speaking techniques that capture your interest and adapt them for your own use
      3. Analyze what makes certain speakers clear and concise, then incorporate those elements into your speech
4. Employ the “bottom line up front” technique: State your conclusion first, then provide supporting details.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Begin with your main point or conclusion before explaining how you arrived at it
      2. Use phrases like “The key takeaway is…” or “What this means is…” to highlight your main message
      3. Structure your speech as an inverted pyramid, with the most important information first
5. Practice chunking information: Group related ideas together to make them easier to follow.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Organize your speech into logical sections of related information
      2. Use pauses between chunks to help listeners process one set of ideas before moving to the next
      3. Create clear verbal transitions between chunks to signal when you’re shifting to a new group of ideas
6. Eliminate redundancy: Say things once, clearly, instead of repeating the same idea in different ways.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Review your speech for instances where you say the same thing multiple ways and choose the clearest version
      2. Replace wordy phrases with more concise alternatives (e.g., “at this point in time” → “now”)
      3. Use precision in your word choice to avoid needing clarification or repetition
7. Create a mental framework: Use visualization techniques to organize and remember your speaking points.
   1. HOW TO
      1. Visualize your speech as a physical structure or journey with distinct locations for each main point
      2. Associate key points with familiar objects or places to help recall them smoothly
      3. Practice “walking through” your mental framework before important speaking situations
