Hooks, likes, repetition, story, and strong language.

Here are a few tips that I picked up from a recent article in the Toastmaster Magazine.  Great ideas…

  • “Your title is an opportunity to create interest before you even stand to speak.  Take the time to develop a hook.”
  • Use metaphors = “It’s like…”  A metaphor can make the difference between stale information and a meaningful message.
  • “Repeat catchphrases often and your point will be remembered.”
  • “Rhyme is sublime and alliteration adds impact.”  When members have used alliteration it always catches people’s attention.
  • “The human mind becomes more engaged when points are delivered in story form…”
  • “Take the time and trouble to design language that captures the imagination and your audiences will thank you for it.”
