50: Real Talking Tips - Create A Story Arc
Real Talking Tips with Elaine A. Clark
The purpose of a story arc is to ENGAGE the audience's attention and effect a CHANGE. A story arc is needed in every speech, presentation, audio recording, and series episode. For the story to go somewhere, change must occur from the beginning of the speech, to the end of the message, and beyond the spoken words.

44: Real Talking Tips - Power of Persuasion - PATHOS
Real Talking Tips with Elaine A. Clark
PATHOS completes the rhetorical triangle as the emotional addition to the authoritative ETHOS and logical LOGOS discussed in Real Talking Tips episodes 42-43.

43: Real Talking Tips - Power of Persuasion - Logos
Real Talking Tips with Elaine A. Clark
First there was Ethos. Now there's LOGOS, the second rhetorical appeal in this 4-part Real Talking Tips - Power of Persuasion series. Logos is the very heart and soul of the writer’s and speaker’s message. Logos provides facts, price, size, reasoning, numbers, dates, times, percentages, and function. Logos supports the writer's and speaker's argument with research, evidence, and proof in order to make a particular claim. Therefore, logos = logic = uniqueness.
info_outlineM. MOTIVATION - The moment before speaking that propels the message.
I. INTENTIONS - Actions given to words to safeguard a 'win'.
N. NEED - The message's purpose and through line.
E. EMOTIONS - Adding emotional depth, realism, and opinion.
In the previous 4-part Real Talking Tips - Power of Persuasion series, the importance of emotion was discussed in episode 44. Ethos is a primary component of Aristotle’s rhetorical triangle because it establishes WHY your audience should trust you.
