Pick, plan, and perform
Choose a topic you genuinely care about and that teaches the audience something meaningful. Outline an attention-grabbing intro, a clear thesis, and 2–3 body points with vivid examples. Close by returning to the hook and stating the impact.
Structure template
Hook: Story/statistic/question. Thesis: In one sentence, what should the audience learn/feel/do? Roadmap: Point 1 → Point 2 → Point 3. Body Point 1: Claim → Example → Why it matters. Body Point 2: Claim → Example → Why it matters. Body Point 3 (optional): Claim → Example → Why it matters. Conclusion: Circle back to hook + call to action/insight.
Drills
- 30-second hook sprints: write 3 different hooks for the same topic.
- Example bank: collect 10 short stories or facts you can deploy quickly.
- Camera reps: record 2 minutes; watch for pacing, gestures, and clarity.
