The speaker’s topic was, a factor in effective leadership. Therefore, it was in line with the conference objectives. Also, the speaker asked the audience to use cell phones to demonstrate the importance of her topic. Furthermore, the speaker, established her competence by stating that her profession is to study people, and she can tell about a person by their verbal, and non-verbal actions. Moreover, the speech purpose was to inform the audience about effective ways to communicate. • (HOOK) The speaker grabbed the attention of the audience by directing the audience to send a text message outside the conference, about a controversial issue. In addition, it was followed after some time, for the audience to be paired with another audience and ask the same question we sent outside the forum.

More importantly, knowing when to use a device to communicate and when is appropriate to handle matters face to face. • (CREDIBILITY AND GOODWILL) The speaker, established her competence by stating that her profession is to study people.

Were the main points easy to remember and easy to identify? How did the speaker validate his/her evidence?

First, the speaker asked the audience to send a text message to anybody outside the forum, of an opinion about a controversial issue.

CONCLUSION OF SPEECH – How did the speaker end his/her speech? Was it powerful? Why or why not? What was the effect on you?
The speaker ended the speech awkwardly because one of the organizers came to check if the room was ready for another speaker who will use the room. So, the speaker just concluded the speech by giving her email address, and encouraged the audience to email her for feedback. It was not a very powerful speech in my opinion. The impact on me was not very strong because I felt that it was just like one of the classes I attend from Monday to Thursday.
