Could you please tell what software you used for mind maps?

Xmind...

[@speedrunmaster_]

brilliant workshop, I took your points and will implement into my speeches 100%! I'll tell you when I get first place in my secondary school's competition :) Could you please elaborate on "Visual Impact?" I understand the use of visuals on main points that is clear and concise, any further tips on this?

[@AjayMathur]

So glad you found it useful. Visuals enhance speeches by making complex information understandable through charts and infographics, engaging audiences with dynamic images, and improving recall with memorable visuals. For example, in a water conservation speech, graphs depicting declining water levels, before-and-after photos of water bodies, and water-saving infographics can vividly illustrate the issue, evoke emotions, and offer actionable advice, transforming the speech from a simple presentation to an impactful, memorable experience. Make sense?

[@speedrunmaster_]

@@AjayMathur Yep, I should've elaborated: my scenario is a 3 minute speech with no presentations, but a prop can be used. I'm basically talking about props
