On any topic today, there can be thousands of dimensions. Do not get tempted to cover more. Stick to the golden rule of THREE. People will absorb these faster and remember in future. Also, tell the audience in the beginning what you are going to say, say it and then in the end, revise quickly.
PAUSE looks bigger to the speaker but the audience appreciates it no ends. Remember, they have come to get knowledge from you. When you pause, they get time to absorb and reflect. Pause also gives you precious seconds to plan your next part of delivery.
