How to kill the close

Fellow speaker,

To have a bad closing to your speech:
  • Change the way you deliver your speech at the end
  • Mention the point(s) you forgot to include in the speech
  • Avoid summarizing key points of the speech
  • Apologize for any mistakes you make
  • Ramble on and on at the end
Follow this simple advice and you can turn even the greatest speech into a nonrecoverable dud!

Dudly Do-wrong,

Tim
