Echo the core message

A common method is to end a presentation by reflecting on the opening message. It's a terrific approach to wrap up your message while also summarizing the entire speech and generating a sense of familiarity for the audience. Comedians excel at this when they connect an earlier joke to a later one.

This will alert the audience that you are nearing the end of your presentation. It completes the circle, bringing you back to where you started.

You can do this in a variety of ways:

• Set up a question during the introduction and answer it at the end of your speech.
• Finish a story that you started throughout your presentation. Use a story to demonstrate the main point.
• Give your presentation a memorable title, and then utilize it to end the speech.
