4. The beginning AsGurbakshChahalonce stated that the beginning must be interesting and relevant to the topic such that the audience becomes focused. The beginning provides a glimpse into what is about to follow and thus the speaker must set the mood right from the very beginning. To achieve this, the speaker can either tell a story or describe a person, or anything relevant to the topic. It is needless to mention that everyone loves hearing interesting stories and thus, this will set the pace right.

5. The middle  After grabbing the attention of the audience through a backdrop or story, it is time for the speaker to move into the major point of concern. In this middle section or the main body, the main idea, concept, or thought needs to be explained properly. This explanation must entail bits and pieces from the story, such that the audience can relate the story with a relevant key point from your topic of discussion. Moreover, in this segment, the speaker needs to justify their thoughts and if required do so by presenting contrasting images.

6. The end In this section, the speaker must bear in mind, “all is well, that ends well.” The end of the speech session must be concrete and summarize the entire session properly. The end must be so strong that the audience becomes one of your believers, and is embedded with the motivation to transform for a better future. Therefore, this section must leave the audience inspired. Apart from these key points, making jokes in between talks, encouraging the audience to ask questions, or asking them questions allows for proper engagement of large masses during public speaking sessions.
