Humans are selfish creatures. They are so occupied with themselves that
they forget to pay attention to the people around them. However, as soon as
the outside world starts affecting their well-being, they begin to pay
attention. So the only method to get that person's attention, and for a long
time at that, is to make them believe that your suggestion has so many
things to do with their self-interest.
The best demonstration of respect you can ever give your audience is to
end your speech on time. Even better, ending the speech early. There has
never been an audience member who said, "Wow, I wish that speaker went
over by twenty minutes." Time limits exist for a reason. Respect those
limits and show that you care about your audience. Better to leave them on
the edge of their seats than to see them checking their watches constantly.
