An elegant bridge is something that links 2 parts together. An effective bridge is not noticeable to the audience. It can link 2 parts that are closely related, or quite different sections. It helps you to achieve continuity of rapport. It removes the possibility of sales shock as it will take the audience seamlessly from the content to the sales element of the presentation. A good bridge will be invisible and effectively helps you to deliver the message. It could be a testimonial, linking phrase, analogy or a question. Eye contact and a pause can be your elegant bridge. There is a power to the pause if it’s used effectively A foundational phrase can be used throughout the presentation to elegantly bridge and the repetition of the phrase will stick in the minds of the audience.   BEST MOMENTS ‘A repeating phrase eloquently woven into your speech can successfully stick in the minds of your audience’ ‘I have a massive passion for the use of an elegant bridge because it makes such a difference to your speech’ ‘It’s about the elegant ups and downs throughout a presentation’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Presenting, Pitching, Public Speaking Podcast Unlimited Success Progressive Property   ABOUT THE HOST  Toni Gargan is a Double World Record-holding Public Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur, and Professional Property Investor.
