I actually now make a concerted effort when I’m transposing my notes from the project manual to a separate eval prompt sheet to look for a way to transition from the last positive I speak about into the first opportunity to be offered. It might go something like, “John, I really was captivated by your use of the stage. You brought your energy and intensity for your subject to each of us in the different seating sections. Where I got lost sometimes though, was when you would turn your back to a portion of the audience to speak to others. Then I could hardly hear you and I felt disconnected to your great story. Perhaps when you are moving across the stage, you could back up slightly so even though you are slightly turned, everyone else in the audience can still see your face, and hear that part of your story.

This is probably the toughest part of my eval delivery sometimes, because that transition from the first set of positives to the middle opportunities does not always present itself easily.
