- THAT YOU HAVE SOME
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT, OR WISH TO
GAIN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT.
- THAT YOU CARE ABOUT.

what you plan to say, but go beyond so
that you are able to handle questions
comfortable afterwards.
Passion for spreading your knowledge
about a topic is the fuel that will
power up your speech delivery.
Every successful speech must contain
some value for your audience.

AND STARES AT HIS SHOES WHILE ANSWERING. AFTER HE’S FINISHED SPEAKING, HE
LIFTS HIS HEAD, LOOKING DEAD SERIOUS.
SECOND CANDIDATE COMES IN SMILING GENTLY - SITS ON THE CHAIR BUT LEANS
FORWARD WHEN YOU START TO SPEAK. HE NODS ALONG GESTURING YOU THAT HE IS
GETTING EACH WORD YOU SAY. MAINTAINS THE EYE CONTACT ALL THE TIME. AFTER HE
