Public Speaking Training:

Genius Technique - Split Your Story

Here's a genius technique from my public speaking training. Try splitting your story. You do this by starting a story at the beginning of your program, but don't finish it. This will build anticipation in your audience when you cut off the story at a key point or just before the expectant finish. Then finish the story at the end of your talk.

When you use this genius technique, you will have every single person there at the end of your speech because they want to know what happened at the end of the story, as you weave the split parts back together.

Create a split, for positive tension, so they do not "mentally split" from your talk and fall asleep. (No ZZZs allowed.)

You want people hanging on the edge of their seats, so keep them curious.
