Speechwriting
“Words have incredible power. They can make people’s hearts soar, or they can make people’s hearts sore.”
— Dr. Mardy Grothe.
The biggest mistake people make when writing a speech? They don’t know what they are aiming for. They simply list everything they know - no structure, no journey, no impact.
The first question I ask: Why are you speaking? What’s the goal? Every word should earn its place, every sentence should move you towards that objective.
I’ll help you craft a speech that’s clear, compelling, and impossible to ignore.
We’ll find a key message that lands, add colour to grab and hold attention, and use storytelling to connect and inspire action. I’ll uncover your unique perspective - so your speech is not just heard, but remembered. And, of course, I’ll cut the clutter and add a dash of pizzaz.
From heartfelt, humorous wedding speeches to high-stakes conference talks - I’ve got you covered.
No need to struggle for the right words - just reach out.
