Fellow speaker,
Abandon passive speaking! If your speech has something like, "Changes need to be put in place", or "An error was made," or "The action will be taken," etc., wake up our speech. Instead say, "I am making changes," or "I made an error," or "I will take action," etc. depending on who did what and what type of speech it is. Be direct with your audience and they will respect you and what you have to say.
Directly,
Tim
