I agree... I was told long ago (by a toastmaster!) that people think in 3's.. And to open with a strong statement framing your 3's.. fill the middle chunk of your speech walking thru 1, 2 & 3.. then close recapping all 3 points.
Tell them, tell them again and then recap what you told them.
I agree with KISS, TMI and being wary of talking in 'quilt talk' to non-quilters. The great thing is you'll be talking about a subject that you know intuitively = FUN!
Good Luck!
