Winston Churchill was once noted saying: ,, It's often at the conclusion of a speech that the public is wakes up again. ” So when speaking publicly, round off softly but effectively.
- Summarize what you have said.
- Round it off.
- Grab attention one more time. Surprise them, shock them, blow them off their socks.
- Warn. Give them a practical tip. Something that is useful.
- Bring out a toast. Let’s drink to.
- Let it sound in the tone of your voice that it is really finished.
- Use closing words. In summary. In conclusion. Finally.
- Be brief. A conclusion may be a maximum of 10 percent of your speech. If you speak for 20 minutes, it is one to two minutes maximum. Stick to that. The audience will be thankful.
- Write it out. So that you know very well what you are going to say. So that you no longer make a wandering movement and you leave a solid, meaningful impression.
- 10 Use resounding last words. Tell them to do something, remind them of something, quote someone. Use a poem, anecdote or a punch line. Make them laugh, cry, applaud. What you should definitely not do: speak longer than you announced. Lose track of what you are saying. Say you forgot something. Write your final words down and learn them by heart. Go out with a bang.
