Know the purpose of your speech:
- Information – present your facts that people need to do their job better
- Persuasion – change in behavior or ideas is necessary – sell your proposal to audience
Motivation – your audience is demoralized by change or lacks optimism about future – your job is to enthuse audience - Discussion – there is no set outcome for your speech - your audience has a decision to make on their own
- Entertainment – you want people to enjoy themselves by establishing a fun, light-hearted mood
