Effective Public Speaking

Do they teach you how to say "Blow it out your shorts"?

No... from them I learn the most stilted way of putting together a speech... ugh! I hate it.

1. You have to assume your audience is stupid, so say everything over and over again.

2. You now have to assume that you are unable to communicate effectively, so say everything over and over again.

3. Even though you are saying everything over and over again, you still need to have an intro, reason to listen, credentials, thesis statement, 3 major points with 2 subpoints and at least 4 subpoints, summary, and clincher, and you have only 6 minutes to speak.

Have I said that I hated it.
