Public speaking transitions - segue

By NA - One of the old saws of public speaking says that you should "Tell em what you're gonna tell 'em. Tell 'em. Then tell 'em what you told 'em." When you want to make a point during your presentation, you can use a similar formula. You tell 'em the point, illustrate the point, then tell 'em the point again.
