  • Strategy: Understand your audience, who they are and what’s important to them.
  • Structure: Prepare a “got your attention” beginning; middle with facts and stories; powerful ending.
  • Style: Deliver the content: Focus, body language, energy, word choice, pace.
  • Spark: Quickly build rapport, credibility, enthusiasm with your audience.
