For any speech, there are four big directions a speaker can take:

  • to inform (or teach) the audience

  • to entertain the audience

  • to persuade the audience to take action

  • to inspire the audience to change their attitude

In this chapter, you’ll define two different things:

  • your goal — the big one, the outcome you ultimately want to achieve

  • your objective — the small one, the first step you want your audience to take

That objective is your call to action (CTA):
simple, specific, and symbolic — the beginning of change.

Because in rhetoric, there is only one true KPI: action.

Let’s define yours.
