Example text

Hit my head and almost died.  Went to a detoxification program, mandatory AA.  Attended 90 meetings in 90 days.  This 12­step program can work for you, too.  Then do it.  Simple, to the point, developed from his own deep interests, Paul's talk demonstrates vividly the lessons of this chapter: how to Get a Response and Structure Your Thoughts.  Then he couldn't wait to share what he learned.  Otherwise, he insisted, he would panic and forget what he wanted to say.  He found a friend who also loved wine, but hadn't had the benefit of Paul's training, and invited the friend to dinner at a restaurant with an extensive wine list.

All of this begins with the process of structuring your presentation.  To make a presentation by winging it may not merit the attention of your audience.  It's as if you invited people to your home, opened the door, greeted them, then left them to their own devices by not engaging them or keeping them entertained and involved.  The response­getter you choose is the transition into the structure of your remarks.  The middle, of course.  If an anecdote or funny story comes to Page 52 mind that might illuminate one of your points, jot it down in the outline, too.

At the end he planned to summarize the lesson, review the wines available to them, and ask the friend to help him make a choice. " Predictably, the friend admitted always being confused.  So here is the scenario as Paul recorded it.  Do the choices in red wine confuse you? PAUL: FRIEND: Yes, I love red wine, but I never know what to choose.  Then you can choose the wine for dinner from the wine list. PAUL: FRIEND: Great!  I see that they are listed in gradations of body, color, and tannin. PAUL: FRIEND: What does that mean?
