When you sign more than a few sentences from notes, you will usually adopt a pace and a pattern of inflection that differ from your spontaneous conversational style. And we do it when offering heartfelt prayers, whether in private or on behalf of a group.ģ When you deliver a talk, does it make a difference whether you use a manuscript or an outline? While signing from a prepared script can help to ensure accuracy and the use of choice wording, it has its limitations in reaching hearts. We do it when sharing in the field ministry. We do it in conversation with family and friends. They feel more secure if everything they are going to say is down on paper or memorized.Ģ Yet, in reality, every day we all communicate without a manuscript.

Using it for delivery makes it easier for you to be conversational and to speak from the heart.ġ THE prospect of giving a talk from an outline makes many people nervous. Preparing an outline helps you to organize your thoughts. Give a talk from an outline, either mental or written, instead of using a manuscript for delivery.
