Tips for Graduation Speech

A little over a month I had the honor to lead my colleagues in the MNDTIA the graduation speech for my class of Master in Telecommunications Law of the IEB that I studied last year.

Now, with more perspective, I think I am able to give some tips on how to make a good speech for promotion, without falling into the mistakes I made and based on experience in these lines.

The tips contained in WikiHow are quite successful:

1. First sit down at your computer or if you prefer against a notebook with pencil in hand.
2. Make a brainstorming on the following key points: the history of the institution, covering training, experience, future expectations, councils in the development of activities, thanks, bye.
3. Begins to unite the ideas making use of connectors in the form of wording.
4. It establishes who is directed speech: these authorities, teachers, peers, parents, etc..
5. Start with a greeting addressed to the present in order of hierarchy.
6. Continue giving a historical summary of the institution, its creation and impact during their years of service.
7. Generally exhibit training coverage offered by the institution.
8. Discuss your experience within the institution, the way that it has contributed to your personal training, technical, social, etc.
9. Expresses the expectations you have about your future career or academic, By focusing on the influence of the training received.
10. Go to your teammates and give them some tips to keep looking for training in the area that are graduating. If the institution is likely to continue such training, recommends taking these alternatives.
11. Thanks for all the things mentioned to the institution by the authorities representatives.
12. Say goodbye in a respectful manner.
13. Get to the highest authority and say hello warmly with a handshake, then come closer to the person sitting to his right and then presents the entire body of these authorities (usually the highest authority in the middle sits and sits immediately below on the right, so we suggest you make the greeting in that order).
14. Retire the official stand on the opposite side to which you uploaded.

The above twelve points helped me write the speech, but I would add these as well:

• Avoids reading. It is better to learn, but if you had to read, and speak slowly, you can memorize entire sentences as you go and say them looking to the public.
• The day before, read the speech to about 4 times out loud (to take advantage of memory REM), and one more on the day of the speech (to take advantage of RAM).
• Please browse the speech does not exceed half leaf extension
• Speak slowly, vocalizing and marking each word of the speech.
• The duration of the speech, in normal situations, should not exceed five minutes and less than 9.
• He directs the speech to look for people who've written, but do not forget the rest. (A trick to "look without seeing their faces" is to direct the light to the neck of the attendees: they will not notice. Although it is best to look into the eyes!)
• After the speech, wait two seconds and leads the eye to your classmates before you leave the stage.
• We shall then not too much, not soniquete readings and do not put the questions.
• Do not rotes balances and not on your feet. Do not put your hands behind your back. You hold the stand, if you are more comfortable, and also prevents you shake hands.
• Print a speech in oversized font.
• He wears a suit, white shirt and dark tie to highlight what is the speech.
• By going to stand and walk past the table of the Director, the Deans and Professors, stop a moment, tilted his head slightly and continued walking.

I hope these tips are useful to students who follow me the Master in Business and Law of Telecommunications, Internet and audiovisual as well as all those that you have the great honor of leading the last words of the course to your classmates.
