Basic Presentation Structure

“If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.”
- Dale Carnegie

The effective speaker should have a clearly organized and purposeful presentation.

Here is the basic structure of a successful presentation:

Opening - Favorably attract immediate interest from the audience
Message - Clearly state your message or theme
Evidence - Establish credibility and inspire respect and confidence by using convincing evidence
Closing - Leave the audience with a favorable, memorable impression
