Special Occasion Speeches

 

Perhaps you could so with some help...

It's OK, you, like most people on the planet have a fear of public speaking but there is a solution...

• Perhaps its a wedding,  as the bride, groom, best man or father of the bride?
• Perhaps its at a funeral, where you have been asked to say a few words or recount some happy memories
• Perhaps its at a special anniversary or retirement celebration

Whatever the context, I have the skills to help you overcome your nerves and deliver an amazing, authentic speech that will be remembered long after the event for all the right reasons.

• Speech ghost writing
  Looking for someone to write your speech for you.  No problem! I can craft a speech that conveys your feelings and emotions whilst ensuring that it sounds authentic and genuine.

• Speech delivery coaching
  Speech delivery is a crucial part of a successful special occasion speech.  A great script can be let down by poor delivery. I can help you deliver your speech with passion and energy.

How does special occasion speech coaching work?

Step one - Initial consultation:
This is vital as we need to get to know each other.  You need to feel confident that I can deliver what you want and I need to understand the context of the event and gather relevant background information. By the end of the meeting we will have a clear plan

Step two - Quotation:
I will email you a detailed quotation for my services based on our initial discussion.  The quote will include options to allow you to choose the most appropriate blend of support and financial investment.

Step 3 - Coaching:
Having agreed on a plan I will provide the desired support either via email and phone (for speech writing and revisions)

or Skype (for nerves and delivery skills issues)

Step 4 - Enjoy the big day and the applause!
