Here are a few tips that I picked up from a recent article in the Toastmaster Magazine.  Great ideas…

• “Your title is an opportunity to create interest before you even stand to speak.  Take the time to develop a hook.”
• Use metaphors = “It’s like…”  A metaphor can make the difference between stale information and a meaningful message.
• “Repeat catchphrases often and your point will be remembered.”
• “Rhyme is sublime and alliteration adds impact.”  When members have used alliteration it always catches people’s attention.
• “The human mind becomes more engaged when points are delivered in story form…”
• “Take the time and trouble to design language that captures the imagination and your audiences will thank you for it.”
