Impromptu Speech PPF Tool

It is so important to give a speech in a way that your audience can follow what you are saying.

The acronym PPF stands for Past, Present and Future tense. This is a great technique you can practice to talk structured.

People might ask you about what the future hold, and by using this simple technique, you will be able to give a solid answer. By just giving a answer will confuse your listeners. They do not understand where you come from or how you got to such a conclusion.

This is a great technique to make a solid future projection. Audiences love this past, present and future speeches.

When constructing your speech you should start with the Past. You will be able to state facts, examples and statistics of the past. It is a great opportunity to build momentum in your speech by from 15 years ago; 10 years ago and 5 years ago. 

The Present tense is anything that is currently happening i.e. seen in the media. Present can also mean ‘recent times’. Depending on the time frame you covered on the past (above), the present can even be a year ago if for example the past was 20 years ago. 

Future tense is where you can draw your own conclusions with predictions. End of by saying something like “by looking at the past and present, I think or I predict… ” It can also serve as a great tool to persuade your audience to act now to prevent future disasters.

This technique is great for managers and business leaders that have to give presentation on where the company is heading. It is also great for politicians who have to address the media in a very short time and have to give an impromptu speech.

This tool gives your speech a solid structure.

The art of public speaking is a skill that can be taught.
