They stare at you. You stare at them. The silence is deafening. You fidget. You can hardly breathe. You’ve delivered a speech that has kept your audience interested—yet now you are faced with closing it. How can you end your speech as confidently as you opened it? Is it possible? Of course, it is! Try some of these tips and close your speeches with the power of Kennedy, King or Obama.
Close with the Title
Use the title of your speech as your closing words. Last words linger, crystallizing your thoughts, galvanizing your message and mobilizing your audience. Leave them with a seed, a thought, an idea, and they’ll go forward to do great things.
The Invitation
If you want to motivate your audience to do something—invite them to succeed. Close with something that gives them a goal. This is a good way to bring about rousing applause from your audience.
The Circular Close
Refer back to your opening anecdote or quote and say: “We have arrived now to close where we began.” Reiterate the message you want your audience to remember. Summarize the main points and leave them knowing what you talked about.
The Challenge
If you were concluding a speech on the importance of acting, you could rouse them with the importance of participating. Take spectators and turn them into doers. Make them the center of attention, and give them a reason to go out and change their lives.
End with a Quotation
Find a famous quotation relevant to your message and use it like a lever to lift the close of your speech.

Are You In or Are You Out? It’s the Only Life You’ve Got! Make it Work!
Many of us walk around our space feeling dejected, overwhelmed, exhausted, and many times disconnected or dissatisfied with life. We know we want a change and often we do not know what change we desire or how to get it. Yesterday, a dear friend talked on his posting about being amazed that people want financial freedom and yet when opportunity comes around, they wish it away.
Are you one of those who talk more than act? Is there something you desire right now and you are doing absolutely nothing to make it happens? Or perhaps you are waiting for someone to do what you know you ought to do?
On this episode, I will share my wisdom nuggets to help you on your way to success. If you anything like me, there are times you look around you and you sometimes feel you are surrounded by aliens…of you feel like an alien to your own life.
–What influences surround you and how do you remove yourself from their space or remove them from your own space?
At the end of this episode, I am going to challenge you to pick up your baton and get busy with life
–And I do solemnly declare that life will only happen when you happen.
