The fifth step in transformational speaking is to connect the dots. This involves writing smooth transitions for each section of your talk to ensure a cohesive flow.
Write Smooth Transitions
Transitions signal to the audience that you are wrapping up one idea and beginning another. This helps maintain the flow and ensures the audience can follow along without confusion.
Set Clear Expectations
Just like in theater, you need to tell the audience what to expect next. This keeps them engaged and prevents them from playing catch up. Clear transitions create a seamless experience for the audience.
By connecting the dots with smooth transitions, you ensure that your talk flows logically and keeps the audience engaged from start to finish.
