Public Speaking:
How to Close a Speech
http://www.public-speaking.org/public-speaking-closings-article.htm

.

.

One of the worst mistakes you can make as a public speaker is talking too
long. Not only will you send some folks to never, never land, you will
make some of them downright mad. It doesn't matter if your entire speech
was brilliant and the audience came away with information that will change
their lives. If you talk too long, they will leave saying, "That speaker
just wouldn't quit." Don't let this happen to you! Say what you have to
say and sit down. Before you do, give them a well thought out closing.

.

The last thing you say may be the most remembered. You must put as much
time into selecting and practicing your closing as you put into any other
part of your presentation. Just like your opening, your closing does not
have to be humorous. It could be motivational, challenging, thoughtful,
respectful of the length of the presentation, or it could restate your
point in a different way. This ending segment will have a strong influence
on what the audience takes home with them when you are done. Please, at
sometime during your talk ask the audience to do something. Many a great
NO ZZZZZs talk went no further than the walls of the meeting room because
the audience wasn't moved to action. If you haven't ask them to do
something by now, the closing is your last chance.

.

If the subject is appropriate, I happen to be fond of humorous closings
for several reasons. If you leave them laughing and applauding, you will
exit, but an extremely positive impression about you will remain. Another
good reason to leave them laughing is that the room will not be deadly
silent as you are walking back to your seat. I hate when that happens. I
do love laughter and feeling good; finishing a speech humorously gives me
and the audience an opportunity to feel great.Speeches that are for
entertainment purposes only should generally leave the audience laughing.
