- 24. Voice, Cadence, Gestures, Timing • Speak slowly and clearly • Facial expressiveness! • Good talks have rhythms and structure • Props are OK but should have purpose • Gestures help relax and communicate

- 26. The SUCCES strategy for ‘stickiness’ • Simple – short and deep messages are the best • Unexpected – uncommon sense sticks • Concrete – concrete images leave impressions • Credible – a true message, not just spin • Emotional – help people feel things • Stories – mental flight simulation
- 27. Learn how to tie your shoes
