Speech Writing

Do you get anxious at the thought of writing a speech? Let us teach you how to write memorable speeches that are entertaining and informative no matter how boring the subject.

The training covers all aspects of speech writing, including brainstorming, structuring, writing, and editing.

We’ll help you identify the purpose of delivering a speech so that your speeches will feel focused from beginning to end. And we’ll help you breathe life into your speeches so you can hold an audience’s attention.

This 1-day workshop is suitable for anyone who writes their own speeches and for those who write speeches for someone else to deliver.

• Finding inspiration for the speech
• Preparing usefully before you start writing
• Using a writing process to write more effectively
• Structuring your speech for the needs of your audience
• Writing in plain English
• Writing a good opening and a good closing
• Learning the power of storytelling in a speech
