According to professional speaker Patricia Fripp, you can transition in your speech through:
- Acronyms - explain each letter in your acronym and transition between each letter (e.g., "After you take Action the next step is to have the "C.")
- Phrase - could be in parallel transitions (e.g., "Dave is a crazy man [story about Dave] Dave got me acting crazy [story about you]")
- Repeat the phrase - say the same phrase over and over (e.g., "Step up and step out! [make a point] That's you need to step up and step out!")
