Cue the questions

Fellow speaker,

Jeremy Donovan's study of TED talks suggests you can use a question in different ways:
  • Polling the audience - "How many of you..."
  • Seeking confirmation - "...right?"
  • Provoking thought - "Can ___________ really have that powerful an effect on my life?"
  • Building suspense - "So I was _________________, and what did I see?"
Questioning,
