research and backup information is targeted towards a goal
 Presenting with the receiver’s needs in mind increases
commitment to action
 The structure of high impact presentations gives confidence
because of the in-depth preparation and the uniqueness of the
method of structuring the message.
 The method focuses on inspiring the audience to take action.
 Your awareness of your own and the body language of your
audience ensures your message and body tells the same story
