R you ready?

Fellow speaker,

The three "R"s for connecting to the hearts and minds of your audience are:
  1. Recognize - understanding the problem
  2. Remember - remembering and telling the details of the problem
  3. Respond - your plan to respond to the problem
For example, "Unemployment is very high now.  Yesterday I talked to Bob, who has been out of work for three years.  He looks every day for a job and has found nothing yet.  Extending unemployment will make it possible for Bob to get food and shelter while he continues his job search."

R-ing,

Tim
