Modularity

Fellow speaker,

When developing your content, Craig Valentine (World Champion of Public Speaker) suggests using the PARTS formula:
  • Phrase – foundational phrase in the speech fewer than 10 words (makes it easy for speaker and audience to remember it)
  • Anchor – tie the information to something (Anecdote, Activity, Analogy, Acronym)
  • Reflection – get people to reflect on how these ideas can work for them (ask questions)
  • Technique – give way to practice the theory
  • Sale – sell your ideas (“You get…”, "If you do this then you get that. If you don't do this you might get something else.")
Partly,

Tim
