PLEASE RESPOND

Four common types of distractions make concentrating on a speech difficult:

1. Auditory - people coughing or whispering, a cell phone ringing, loud noises in the hallway

2. Visual - an interesting poster left over from a previous meeting, an intriguing listener seated nearby, people walking into or out of the room

3. Physical - hunger, a headache or stuffy nose, an uncomfortable seat, a room that is too hot or too cold

4. Mental - daydreams, worries, preoccupations

State with specificity how you plan to deliver your message to your audience in order to offset/eliminate the concern that one or more of the four items listed will interfere with their listening to your presentation.
