Expert Answer

It depends on the topic of your speech! You might start with a meditation or relaxation exercise by saying "Close your eyes and think of..." or "I want you to relax your toes and relax your feet..." You could also have your audience members stand up, stretch, move around, and/or repeat some affirmations.

Question

How do I give a seminar on globalization?

Community Answer

Research both the benefits and downsides of globalization. Use facts as a foundation to your position, then give concrete examples that support your position. Talk about how globalization solves problems and how the benefits outweigh the potential negative consequences. Look into the "Rogerian argument" for more information.

Question

As a second speaker, do I just jump straight into the speech or I should also do an introduction?

Community Answer

Ideally someone will have introduced you. If not, state your name and one other piece of generic personal info and then thank everyone and begin. If you have more to say, either try to weave it into the presentation or tack it on at the end. Don't talk too much about yourself, though.
