在演說簡報前，就先說服聽眾

一旦你答應開始做演說簡報，就開始發揮影響力了。如果你在踏上演講台之前就能夠先介紹你的簡報內容，你很有機會就開始影響了聽眾的思考與行為。

你可以向聽眾說明他們將會從你的演說簡報中得到哪些利益。

如果你是對公司同事演講，你可以先用e-mail摘要你預備演說的重點。

如果你是預備對公司以外的大眾做演說，你可以提供你的個人簡歷資料，以及在網絡上摘要你的演說重點，並且提供一些建議預先閱讀的文件的網絡鏈接。

Before giving a speech, convince the audience

Once you promise to start giving speeches, you begin to exert influence. If you can introduce your presentation before you step on the stage, you have a good chance to start influencing the audience's thinking and behavior.

You can tell the audience what benefits they will get from your presentation.

If you are speaking to your colleagues, you can use e-mail to summarize the main points of your prepared speech.

If you are prepared to speak to people outside the company, you can provide your resume information, summarize your keynotes on the Internet, and provide online links to documents that suggest pre-reading.
