Choices about how to structure a presentation or speech really matter. The right organization helps you stay on track and helps your audience follow your thinking. Introduction Here is an outline of the introduction section, which should be about 10% of the presentation. - Attention grabber - Audience relevance statement - Speaker's credibility statement - Thesis or \"bottom line\" - Preview of main points to come Body The body of the presentation should do the following and makes up about 85% of your time. - Organize your points in some logical fashion for your specific topic - Aim for about 3 main points to keep it clear - Signpost your main points by saying 1st, 2nd, 3rd (or some clear way to make each point stand out) - Use transition statements to signal that you're changing gears from one point to the next Conclusion Your conclusion should only take about 5% (maybe 10%) of your time and do the following very concisely. - Signal that you are ending, \"In conclusion . . .\" - Reinforce your thesis or main idea. Optionally, you may also want to recap your points if that helps but keep the summary tight. - Call to action. If you are going to ask your listeners to do something (especially in a persuasive presentation), this is the spot to do it. - Clincher. End on a high note with a quick story, appropriate quotation, etc. Presentation structure is a key element to help both you and your listeners.\n
