@Robert Macbeth Yes, it's a pattern interupt to keep their brains engaged and to create a cohesive bubble of the audiences energy. Everyone comes into the room as their own individual bubble, and your role as a speaker is to get the bubble to merge into one unit. They do a good job of doing it often, but it's a tad clunky that they only use the "repeat a phrase/word" after me" technique when there's so many other options. Its an advanced level skill, but they have the general idea down. Their "I, we, point, they, sound bite stack" was a new twist and I enjoyed that
