1 Identify your purpose and audience

The first step to structure and organize your speech is to identify your purpose and audience. What is the main goal of your speech? What do you want your listeners to learn, feel, or do after hearing your speech? Who are your listeners and what are their needs, interests, and expectations? These questions will help you decide what content, tone, and style to use in your speech. You should also consider the context and occasion of your speech, such as the time, place, and format.

Rethink what you want to achieve with the speech. Are you informing, persuading, or entertaining? A clear purpose will guide the information you include and how you structure it. Tailor your structure to resonate with your listeners. What knowledge do they have about the topic? What interests them? Organize Your Points Logically. Group your supporting ideas into clear, concise main points. Order them in a way that builds towards your thesis, consider using chronological order, problem-solution, or cause-effect structures depending on your topic.

With Identifying the purpose, comes Identifying the emotions. We are humans, we are designed to feel more than doing anything else. Even if your speech is to persuade or inform, what evidence you can use that provides credibility and authority but at the same time appeals to the emotions of your audience?

2 Choose a suitable topic and thesis

The next step is to choose a topic and a thesis for your speech. Your topic should be relevant to your purpose and audience, as well as interesting and informative for yourself. Your thesis should be a concise and specific statement that summarizes the main idea or argument of your speech. You should also make sure that your topic and thesis are manageable and realistic, meaning that you can cover them adequately within the time limit and with the available resources.

While selecting a topic, ensure that it should have relevant and readily available data to support your thesis. You could be an outstanding speaker but if your speech lacks significant facts, the effectiveness of your speech shall be nil.

3 Research and select your information

Once you have a topic and a thesis, you need to research and select the information that will support your speech. You should use credible and reliable sources, such as books, journals, websites, or experts, to gather facts, statistics, examples, stories, or quotes that will back up your thesis. You should also evaluate and analyze the information critically, and avoid using irrelevant, outdated, or biased information. You should also cite your sources properly and ethically, and avoid plagiarism.

4 Organize your main points and subpoints

After you have collected and selected your information, you need to organize it into main points and subpoints. Your main points are the key ideas or arguments that support your thesis, and your subpoints are the details or evidence that support your main points. You should have between two to five main points, depending on the length and complexity of your speech. You should also arrange your main points and subpoints in a logical and coherent order, such as chronological, spatial, topical, problem-solution, or cause-effect.

5 Prepare your introduction and conclusion

The final step is to prepare your introduction and conclusion. Your introduction should capture the attention and interest of your audience, establish your credibility and rapport, and preview your thesis and main points. Your conclusion should summarize your thesis and main points, reinforce your message and purpose, and end with a memorable statement or call to action. You should also use transitions and signposts throughout your speech to connect your ideas and guide your audience.

By following these steps, you can improve your decision making and structure and organization of your public speech. You can also practice and revise your speech before delivering it, and get feedback from others to improve your performance. Remember that public speaking is a skill that you can develop and master with time and effort.

In Conclusion: Briefly remind the audience of your main points. Reiterate the importance of your message and why it matters to the audience. End with a clear and compelling statement that motivates the audience to take action, think differently, or remember your key message. This could be a question, a challenge, or a suggestion. Leave a lasting impression with a powerful quote, a final thought, or a return to your opening hook to create a sense of closure.

Practice your delivery Rehearse your introduction and conclusion out loud to ensure they flow smoothly and confidently. Time yourself Make sure your intro and conclusion are appropriate lengths for your overall speech. Vary your pace and volume Avoid monotone delivery. Emphasize important points by speaking slightly slower or louder.
