Hey everyone- this is the final episode of the three-part series on how to improve at speaking without preparation, on communication frameworks.

In the last two episodes, we looked at:

  1. The psychology and reasons behind why we struggle with speaking without preparation
  2. The tools and tactics we can use to start improving at this

This episode is on frameworks, which allow us to systemically and sequentially organise our thoughts and ideas into a clear structure.

365 questions for practicing: https://cougarrhetoric.toastmastersclubs.org/jdownload.cgi?action=download&path=365_Sample_Table_Topics_Questions__Courtesy_of_District_8_Toastmasters_International_.pdf

Sample AI prompt for creating questions:

Generate 10 random practice questions I can use to rehearse impromptu speaking frameworks. The questions should be varied — covering personal opinions, everyday life, social situations, and light professional scenarios — but should NOT be highly specific to any one industry or job role. Each question should be open-ended enough to be answered using one of the following three frameworks:

  1. Hook / Frame / Message / Landing — for structuring a short speech or monologue with a strong opening and clear takeaway.
  2. PREP (Point, Reason, Example, Point) — for sharing a clear opinion or recommendation concisely.
  3. SOAR (Situation, Obstacle, Action, Result) — for telling a story about overcoming a challenge.

Let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, feedback!
