The Rule of Three


During last weekend's Toastmaster Leadership Training, I heard about the "Rule of Three" and how it can improve your speeches. Click here to read an excellent article from Andrew Dlugan. Andrew is an award-winning speaker and his web site is entitled "Six Minutes."
As we’ve learned in the earlier articles, there’s something magical about words, phrases, or sentences that come in sets of three. Three-element sets are found in many cultural areas, including religion.

The title "Six Minutes" refers to the average length of a Toastmaster speech (5-7 minutes). You will find many helpful tips and useful information on his site.

    I LOVED this article! Thanks for posting. I just changed something in my speech to have three beats instead of two. Barry
