1. Be clear about our position: Even if it seems obvious, it is not. And it is that knowing what we want to communicate is the first step to a good argument.

2. Think about the key messages: designing in advance the key messages that will articulate our discourse, taking into account the objective of the debate, it is fundamental. Thinking before speaking will avoid the need to improvise. Pon 3. Put them in writing:

writing the fundamental ideas that we want to transmit will help us to organize and prioritize them. The result will be a more coherent speech, without contradictions and more solid.

besides the messages, how we communicate them and what we are able to express with our gestures, body posture and facial expressions, it is fundamental. We must try to be empathetic, be comfortable and accompany us with tools and gestures that in any case can help the understanding on the part of the interlocutor. Cristina Hernández,
