Stories often evoke emotions, making the message more memorable.
Body Language
Eye Contact:
Maintaining eye contact helps build trust and keeps the audience engaged.
Gestures:
Hand movements and facial expressions can emphasize points and convey enthusiasm.
Vocal Variety

Pauses: Strategic pauses can create anticipation and give the audience time to absorb information.

A clear structure helps the audience follow along. Start with a strong opening, elaborate in the body, and end with a memorable conclusion.
Signposting:
Using phrases like “firstly,” “secondly,” and “finally” helps guide the audience through the speech.
