by Bob Elliott and Kevin Carroll.
Make Your Point (MYP) is one of those books that have an over explored simple theses. I think MYP would be much better off as course material and lessons to practice. But hey...
The main thing I want to remember from MYP... the Diamond. This is a 'speach' pattern they recommend for all settings...
1. Attention.
2. Main Topic.
3. Preview 1, 2, 3
4. Sub-Topic #1, Sub-Topic #2, Sub-Topic #3
5 Summaries 1,2,3
6 Conclusion
7 Action
Notice there are three sub-topics in this speech. The book strongly recommends that you always include sub-topics. No more, no less. Three sub-topics in a speech makes keeps it from being too long, or too short. Too detailed, or too simple.
