Koulutus Herätys - tapahtuu taas jotain johon olisi hyvä suunnata huomiota, voi tarkistaa onko väki ’läsnä’

Kuka, mitä - mikä on aihe, kuka minä olen, miksi puhun teille tästä

Odotukset - mitä yleisö voi odottaa saavansa, mitä yleisö odottaa saavansa?

Miksi sillä on väliä - miksi kuulijan kannattaisi nähdä vaivaa ymmärtääkseen asian

Pihvi, interaktiolla ja kysymyksillä - kysymysten avulla pidetään yleisö hereillä ja esittäjä paremmassa synkassa yleisön kanssa

Kiteytys - mitäs tässä nyt oikein sanottiinkaan

Onnistuneisuuden tunnustelu - näkikö yleisö tässä arvoa, aikooko joku tehdä jotain eri tavalla tästä eteenpäin

Kiitos - tulee arvostaa yleisön näkemää vaivaa ja käyttämää aikaa
