establish a connection. First you must understand your audience. An important part of preparing your speech is knowing who you’ll be speaking to.
I usually take the story route. People simply love stories. I generally make it a story that I have personally experienced. Not only that, it has to be a story the audience can quickly and easily relate to.
One thing’s for sure, they’ll let you know if you’re connecting or not. You’ll see smiles and heads nodding. When you see that happening, you’re including them in your speech. They’ll love you for it. If your story is humorous, all the better.

I said sarcastically, “you got ‘em. Let me tell you something. Just by you telling me you’ve got ‘em, let’s me know they’ve got you.”
I added, “Listen Hammer, calm those raging hormones. I’ve been with your mother well over 25 years and I still can’t figure her out.”
One year later, one of those beauties pulled the handbrake on him and stopped him dead in his tracks. He never saw it coming. Sheepishly, he came to me and said, “Now I understand what you meant Daddy.”
It wasn’t necessary for me to respond. He learned a few life lessons.
