According to Speaker Rich Hopkins, there are five parts to your speech, each of which is an opportunity to change the pace (speed) of your speaking:
- Conversations - fairly rapid pace
- Storytelling - fairly rapid pace
- Big Ideas - slow down the pace
- Transitions - slow down the pace
- Calls to Action - use a much slower, more deliberate pace
