Muddle vs. Confusion

“If your own mind is muddled, much more will the minds of your hearers be confused.”

- Dale Carnegie

Dear Candy:

The effective speaker should have a clearly organized and purposeful presentation. Here is the basic structure of a successful presentation:

- Opening - Favorably attract immediate interest from the audience
- Message - Clearly state your message or theme
- Evidence - Establish credibility and inspire respect and confidence by using convincing evidence
- Closing - Leave the audience with a favorable, memorable impression
