On October 22, 2013, I was one of three panelists sharing information about public speaking at the Western Museums Association’s 2012 Annual Meeting in Palm Springs, California. In this excerpt from my part of the presentation, I talk about the conclusion of the speech.

The conclusion is the part of the speech where you wrap things up and give your audience something to do with all the information you just gave them.

One way to end a speech is to call back to the opening and summarize what you talked about. You can also conclude with a story that sums up the points of your presentation. But the most important piece of your conclusion is your call to action. You need to tell the audience what you want them to do with the information you just provided.

Here is a picture of the slide used in this part of the presentation:
