Crafting a Compelling Speech
When preparing a speech, it is important to have a clear big idea, make a promise to the audience, demonstrate an understanding of their perspective, highlight the consequences of not adopting the promise, and present the rewards of achieving it. Several frameworks can be used to organize the content, such as numerical, chronological, problem-solution, compare and contrast, and modular frameworks. Each framework serves to organize the information and make it easy for the audience to consume. It is crucial to rehearse well to ensure smooth delivery and comfort on stage.
