Speaking: A Living Map

A good talk starts with the one thing to say for a particular audience. Structure gives it an opening, shape, signposts and an ending that lands; spoken language uses plain words and short sentences; voice and presence support the message; slides help only when they do not bury it; questions and nerves are prepared for; and special situations such as courts and clients need their own care. Press Play to watch the map build, click an idea for its definition and the usual trap, or trace a short case. A simplified teaching map.

Hover over an idea to light up what it connects to, click it for its definition, minimum requirements, an example and the usual trap, press Play to watch the map build step by step, or trace a short case through it.

Simplified teaching map, in general terms. Check the law where you work. On a small screen, scroll the map sideways.
