Internal Linkages in Action

How many linkages should you use in your presentation? The best answer is, “Enough.” Use as many linkages as you need to create a presentation that is a tightly unified whole. The end result will be a presentation in which each element relates to the next, and all the elements lead to a single conclusion: Point B.

Plan the linkages as you develop your presentation, practice them every time you verbalize, and then deliver them when you present.

Pick and choose from among the Internal Linkage options above those that feel appropriate for your presentation and your speaking style. Plan the linkages as you develop your presentation, practice them every time you verbalize, and then deliver them when you present.
