Haritosh Srivastav breaks down how to end a speech with the RAP framework: Recap your main points, give a call to action, and land a punchline. Strong endings stick with audiences and make them remember what you said.
Your speech is like a flight. Most people do a decent job in taking off, and the middle is also absolutely fine, but it's only the ending and the landing where the crash happens, and it's painful. That's why I'm giving you 3 techniques in the form of RAP or RAP framework, which will help you land your story perfectly fine. So R stands for recap. So you want to do a quick recap of your main point. All right, as we come to the end, today we discussed this and this and this. A stands for action. You want to end by giving them a call to action. I want you to take this survey. I want you to watch this movie. I want you to read this book. When the audience gets a call to action, they immediately remember your ending. And the last one is the P. Or the punchline. One of the best way to end is by giving them a punchline. For example, the world needs better storytellers, and it starts with me and you.
