5. The end of your speech is going to be the audience's lasting impression of everything you've said. Use your conclusion as an opportunity to remind them of your main points. Reiterating your introduction in your conclusion will bring the audience's mind back to the overall purpose and message of your speech. When a speaker just suddenly stops speaking, the audience is left confused and disappointed. A conclusion serves to ensure audiences are left knowledgeable and satisfied with your speeches.

6. Three main areas of your speech should be summarized in your conclusion: your primary message, your main points, and what you want your audience to take away from your speech. A summary should concisely revisit what you've just been speaking about in a way that is accessible for your audience. Summaries should be lean, only including the most crucial information and ideas. Your conclusion should be an overview of your speech. There is no need to elaborate or use examples, as this should have been done in the body of your speech.

7. To signal the end of your speech, you can use concluding phrases and vary the tone of your voice to wind down your conclusion. Managing Q&A sessions is an important skill and will help your audience gain more in-depth information that is relevant to them. To successfully facilitate a Q&A session, it is important you are as knowledgeable about your topic as possible. If, however, you are asked a question that you cannot answer, it is crucial to stay calm and still answer professionally.
