presentation
so, the hard part’s
over!
It was smooth sailing
throughout your entire
presentation.

at your jokes,
stayed attentive,
and even responded
to your questions.
Your speech is coming to an end, but what’s the perfect way to leave your audience
thinking?

Use the power of your speech
to inspire action in
your audience.

to take what they’ve
learned in your speech
and apply it to their lives.
2. Quote
Find a quote that reiterates your point and gives that last push to understanding
the meaning behind your
presentation.
After your quote, you can exit the stage with
confidence,
and leave the
audience with a certain something to always
remember.
It may just become their
new favorite quote!
3. Story

Take a story
you started earlier on in your presentation and finish
it at your close.
Making a reference to an earlier part in your
presentation will refresh the audience’s memory
before their departure.
A success story
will give the audience a sense of hopefulness and self-assurance to make their story a success as well.
4. Repetition
1. 2. 3.

what you’re going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what
you just told them.
Repetition
