The Thrift Meister's best tips from his three public speaking courses
in college.
* First tell the audience why they need to care about the subject
and why it is im****tant for them to be informed on the matter.
* Next tell the audience why you should be trusted to give them
advice or information on the subject--establish your credentials as an
authority on the subject.
* Tell the audience what you are going to tell them. Tell them.
Then tell them what you told them. That is three distinct and
different things you are doing.
* Tell the audience what you are going to tell them: Give them an
outline of where you are going--this is like a series of bullet or
main points.
* Tell them: This is the meat of your presentation and where you
spend the most time, get into details, and drill down into the finer
points of the topic.
