1. The process used to accomidate for audience : This is something that is to commonly overlooked. I have never conducted this step when preparing a speech. Of course the bulk of my speeches have been to Army audiences and we teach FORCED PERCEPTION so it was not applicale.
2. The effectiveness of Listening when preparing feedback. One thing I noticed id that the text preach the 90/10 rule as it apllys to feedback, but we use the 80/20 method. Does anyone feel particial to either of these and why?
3. Incubation Period: Who actually does this. I think we all do it. I think that this period is responsible for all my anxiety when I prepare for a speech. One critical thing for me in this period is the take notes. I have found that many of my great ideas and transistion steps are lost here.
4. Connectives: This is desribed as the flow and relationship of main ideas. In my speeches I use UM and Like as my connectives LOL To me, this is one of the most important steps in Organization of a speech.
5. Lastly the importance of a Clincher. Try for it not to be my "Thats all I have to say about that"

Excellent observations Jerome. I'm gonna write a post about the 80/20 an the 90/10 confusion. I wondered if anyone would notice.
About your audience analysis. I'll bet that even when you have Forced Attendance and Attention at a training or presentation, that you make yourself aware of who is in your audience. Are you presenting to the Sgt? or the Captain? Are you explaining something to a couple of newbies in your unit? Are you talking to your son and his buddies? Do you present a tad bit differently when there is a female soldier in the audience? These are times when you have an audience.... Sometimes .unconciously
I also noticed the 90/10 rule. Thanks for remembering to ask that! Also, thanks Terri for the explanation of it!
