How to close a speech with impact

Enabling your audience to remember your parting words or actions is crucial, because it will assist them to retain your overall message. So to ensure that you are well received by your audience, make a difference! Ensure maximum audience attention and retention with a memorable opening and an impactful close, whether that be:

  1. A Statement
  2. A Question
  3. A Quote

This may be followed by a pause which can be very powerful. A presenter could include a call to action, an exciting challenge or a working together incentive that will encourage their audience to feel valued members of a team. Inclusivity gives a feel good effect.

…Incorporating a compelling one liner just works!
