Balancing your speaking

Fellow speaker,

You can use Ed Tate's system to figure out how balanced your speeches are. First look through your speech and label it in terms of:
  1. Speaker time
  2. Speaker and audience taking notes (fill in the blanks) time
  3. Speaker and audience doing activity time
See how balanced your speech is in terms of (1), (2), and (3) time. For example, if you have a lot of 1s and very few 3s, then you need to add in more audience activities (3s) into your speech.

Labeling,
