Making better sense of speaking to inform

- the 7 key characteristics of an effective informative speech, plus the 4 types of informative speeches with example outlines

We all speak to share information. We communicate knowledge of infinite variety all day, every day, in multiple settings.

Teachers in classrooms world-wide share information with their students.

Call centers problem solve for their callers.

News outlets (on and offline) issue reports on local, national and international events and issues, people of interest, weather, traffic flow around cities...

Health care professionals explain the treatment of addictive behaviors, the many impacts of long Covid, the development of new treatments...

Specialist research scientists share their findings with colleagues at conferences.

A pastry chef demonstrates how to make perfect classic croissants.

The range of informative public speaking is vast! 

Some of us do it well.

Some of us not so well - largely because we don't fully understand what's needed to present what we're sharing effectively.

To help with that, here’s an overview of the 4 different types of speaking to inform, each with an outline, plus the 7 key characteristics of a good informative speech.

As per usual, I hope it’s useful for you!

See you next week,
Susan
