Public speaking: draw a map of your speak

The key to not forget what you want to say is to create a comprehensive outline that consists of the major points.

Three types of outlines are helpful:**

• The traditional outline: You create and indented, hierarchical listing of your points and jot down key phrases.
• The question-based outline: List questions that spark specific answers in the order you intend to cover your content.
• The Illustrated based outline: You graphically map out your ideas using icons, pictures, and words.
