In your next speech, there is a phrase that you need to say three times. It’s the one thing you want your audience to remember. It’s your theme.
By identifying and repeating that core phrase three times, you will make it easier for you listener to take action. In my Dynamite Speech System, I call that phrase your Core Message. You can simply state the phrase at the very begining of your speech or presentation, move into the body of your speech and repeat it somewhere in the middle, and then close with the phrase.
The problem with most speeches is a lack of focus. They try to do too much and in the process, do very little. Simplify. Identify the one thing you want people to remember. Say it three times. You’ll be amazed at the results.
