Every audience appreciates it when a speaker is organized and easy to follow. A great way to help listeners follow along is by using clear transition statements between topics.
In my experience, most speakers’ transitions don’t stand out enough and listeners miss them. As a result, one main point tends to blur into the next.
If we are too smooth when we speak by using phrases like “another thing” or “and that leads us to,” most listeners will not notice we have moved on to our next point.
When speaking, transitions have to be obvious and clear but still sound somewhat natural.
First, your wording should be obvious and clearly separate your main points. The wording can be natural but has to be very clear.
Second, signpost by literally saying first, second, third when you reach those main points.
Third, use the classic transition that looks back and A and forward to B. "Now that we've talked about tents, let's discuss sleeping bags." This can sound too stiff for me but is instructive.
Fourth, I recommend using a summary transition where you summarize your point in one concise sentence and then signal that you're going to talk about the next point. "So, the first thing you'll need is a good tent. Let's talk about another key piece of gear."
Signposts and transitions are both excellent ways to help keep your listeners on track with your message.

I am horrible at transitions. It is my biggest problem in writing and speaking. I think this video helped me understand it perfectly. Thank you!
Glad it helped, Anthony. There's an art to it, for sure.
Mr. Alex , Honestly , you are doing a pretty commendable job ! I've learned a lot by watching your videos ,especially related to Public speaking and presentations , and as a result , I've been able to teach my students those things effectively . Keep up your good work !
Hello,
Thank you for your presentation. I've learned that our transition should separate points, signpost each main point, classic transition, and summary transtation. Thank you.
Thank you. I was looking for an absolutely different thing on TH-cam but I couldn't resist watching it through.
Ha. Well that's great that you found it helpful. :-)
thank you! I have a hard time with these, but this is a great start

YOU HABE BAD ENGLAND
Excellent stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video, so much detail!
Glad it was helpful, Teresa. I'm glad the detail was valuable.
Thank you very much, sir, I appreciate your help.
Really good stuff. Thanks.
How would you suggest using a transition from the body to the conclusion?
Keep it *_really_* concise, no more than one short sentence. That last transition just signals that you're done talking about the third point.
Thank you
How do you discuss secondary points within each of the three main subjects?
Great stuff. Liked.
Glad it helped, Mike. Thanks for the encouragement.
The last point can I use lastly
How about the transition statement between the third point and the conclusion? I feel like the "signaling the end" part of the conclusion acts as a transition statement. However, I noticed there is a spot to fill in the transition statement on your template.
Good point. In a longer message, it is good to wrap up the 3rd point on its own to bring it to a close. Then, move on to the conclusion. But, in a short message, wrapping up that third point sort of blurs together with the signaling the end that starts the conclusion. So, it depends on the length of the message, etc.
Your tips on transitions?
Nice video. I do have a question. You mentioned a sign post is specifically saying first, second, third, etc. However, in the example of the transition the B part was "now let's discuss another key piece of gear."
How would you then use a signpost after that? It would sound awkward to then follow up that B with "Second..." or "The second..."
Very blue eyes. Like a wolf. A speech wolf. Rawr.
Ha! Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment!

Me watching this for help with my Ted talk ;-;;;
You take too long in getting to the point of your points, just say what you need to say instead of needlessly explaining what it is you want to say and then saying it
