How to Prepare Note Cards for a Speech - Public Speaking Video Lecture

[Music]
so here are some tips on how to outline
your speech for starters you don't want
to just write and write and write fifty
eight pages of PowerPoint that's too
much to even start from what you should
do is brainstorm on every single
distinct idea message you have maybe you
have twenty or thirty but then you've
got to be a harsh editor you've got to
really figure out what are literally
just your top five ideas get rid of the
others so you've got five bullet points
on your outline next underneath each one
you've got a story that dramatizes this
particular point if you've got it put
another point underneath it a fact a
number that's really important that you
might not remember put that and finally
under each message point if you have a
PowerPoint slide you need something that
tells you what the slide is so you can
talk about it before the slide comes up
that way you're in charge not the
PowerPoint so what do you end up with a
simple outline five big points and a few
bullet points underneath each one to
remind you of the story an example or
fact and the visual do that and you have
a great simple lean efficient one-page
outline to guide you through your whole
presentation
