A great talk is compelling.  A great talk gets to the heart of a common experience.  It addresses something we all go through and deals with a need we all experience.  In short, a great talk solves a problem. So to create a presentation that reaches out and grabs your audience and holds them for the entire time of your presentation, you have to create a problem for them. And then you have to solve it.

The point when you create the problem is in your opening comments.  Now don’t shy away from being a bit melodramatic in your opening.  Remember the goal of the opening is to grab the audience's group attention and rivet it on your talk.  So present the problem statement in a personal way, how it is meaningful on a personal level to the audience and to you.  A about 20% of the time to the creation of the problem statement.  By the time you have created that big monster in the room, they will be ready for you to guide them toward the solution.

I've given myself a great gift this year; call it a field trip, if you like, but I took myself to my town's landfill and had my eyes opened for the first time.  Maybe the concept of someone reaching their 40s and still not being contientious of recycling is one that sounds far-fetched, well, it's the truth.  I didn't grow up imagining the Earth covered in over-flowing landfills, piles and piles of garbage as high as the tallest building that was not my experience.  But because the idea of leaving too much waste for the Earth to handle is a bitter reality today, I've begun to educate myself.

With the audience "in the palm of your hand", you can move directly into the description of the perfect solution.  The solution phase of your talk can be broken into two parts.  First describe what the perfect solution would look like.  You would not even directly bring up your solution just yet.  Base your description of the perfect solution on the problem statement so you have an aspect of the solution that fits every possible problem created at the first part of your talk.

I guess I've always thought of using credit cards as not being real money, that's the same way I viewed trash.  I know I've read about landfills becoming, well, full and how that will cause a problem but until I took myself out to the site itself, I still had this childish idea that once I put something into the trash can, it just went - away.   
  
−
The next phase is the next to the last and comes about 50% into your time.  Now you have the audience in a perfect place to hear your solution.    Use about 30-40% of your total time on the proposed solution, fitting it perfectly to your discussion of the problem and the outline of what a perfect solution looks like.  By this time the audience is eager to know the solution.  All you are doing now is closing the deal.

Seeing, with my own eyes, the area designated for my community's left overs was like a big slap of reality.  I was finally able to comprehend the thought; "if I'm not the only one throwing things away carelessly, and if others are doing it too, this space will not last too long."

If we followed a standard "term paper" approach to a program, the final phase would be to sum up and go over what you just talked about.  Btu we are not going to follow that pattern because this is the time for the "pay off".  In your closing statements, you finally disclose the action to be taken.  By giving your audience what they can do to take the first step on putting your solution into motion, you are cashing in on all that energy you created in the first 80% of your speech.

I was surprised at some of the items I saw at the town's landfill, too.  There were pieces of furniture that, being someone creative, I could see would make nice trash-to-treasures pieces.  Maybe these refurbished items could be the one piece that brought the feel of a room together, that completed what the room is to feel like and express.  Instead, someone tossed them out and they were taking up (a whole lot) of space in a limited area and would cause stress, not happiness.   
  
−
Now close the deal by giving them concrete and "right now" things they can do to recognize the problem and start the wheels turning on making the solution a reality.  If its possible make the first step of implementing that solution happen right there in the room with you. That might be signing up for a newsletter, giving you an email address or going to another room for further counseling and discussion.  You know what it is.  But by using that  energy, you convert passive listeners to active participants.  And you did that with a very well designed and a well executive presentation plan.

I'm fortunate because my children, who are early teens, have been taught about the importance of recycling and the importance of what we need to do to keep the world from being buried in useless trash.  They have been paying attention to the lessons that have come their way, where as, I had to see it for myself before I could be motivated to change the way I do things.

The good news is, it only took one quick trip to the landfill, for me to come to my senses and make changes about the way I do things and about the way I think.  If we are not thinking globally when it comes to waste, and what we're leaving behind, we're not being smart.

Grab some kids, or some forty-somethings and take yourself on a field trip that may very well, do for you what it did for me; make the changes necessary for me to see what the reality of our situation is and change the way I do things.
