The last thing you say to the audience is powerful. Drive home your meaningful message with:
- Visual - something that provides a powerful picture that is a metaphor for your speech point
- Bookends - end the speech in the same way you began it (e.g., if you open with a story, close with the same story)
- One more thing - Steve Jobs made this closing famous by giving an additional announcement after all the regular announcements - make sure this announcement relates in some way to your speech topic
