Preparing an Effective Persuasive Presentation

Ask yourself:

- What's my goal?
- What's my Point of View (POV) on the subject?
- What are the benefits to my audience?
- What's the downside if people don't act?
- What are my main body points?
- Can I find appropriate quotes and supportive information?
- Is there a story that I can use to communicate my point(s)?
- What's my call to action?
- What would be an encouraging statement?

Persuasive Techniques

Ethos (Credibility):
- Explain your competence
- Be accurate
- Show your open-mindedness

Logos (Sound Reasoning):

- Induction: provides probable but not logically conclusive support
Pathos (Arousing Emotions):
