public speaking - How to use transitions in your presentations Posted By : Anne Warfield, CSP

Many people don't realize how important transitions are when speaking. Plan your transitions and vary them so you don't put an audience to sleep or in to a pattern by always using the same transitions. You can have a visual slide pop up that shows the audience what points you have covered and what points are up coming. This can be very effective if you break the "stage" space down so you use the back for in the past, the front right (your right as you face out) to share strong points and statements, and the front left to share thoughts or feelings. Then when you go back to a point you can physically move to that point on the stage. As the leading Outcome Strategist, Anne Warfield shows people how to present their ideas, products and services so people WANT to listen to you.
