Why hire a speech writer?
Not everyone has the time to sit down and write a 20 minute speech. You need an expert. Maybe you have a big fundraising event or are introducing a major change at your company. You need the right words to get your message across effectively.Other times, you have an existing speech that needs an update from a fresh set of eyes. The speech needs to be more persuasive, needs new ideas, or needs a larger impact. I can help you revise any existing speech to make it resonate with your audience.
My approach:
- Your Voice: Your speech should sound like you. Your comfort level with the words increases the confidence of your delivery.
- Storytelling: People tune out speeches that are nothing more than information thrown at them for 60 minutes. Stories help to anchor the facts and information into your audience’s memories.
- Stage Directions: The words on the page are not enough. The speeches I write are similar to scripts—you get guidance for timing, pauses, volume, etc.
- Quick Turnaround: The turnaround time is usually 1 week for a first draft. It is important to deliver drafts early in the process in order to make the feedback and work process more efficient for both of us.
- Get it right: Any speech comes with two rounds of revisions along with the possibility of more. It is more important to me that the job is done right rather than just done to get over with quickly.
- Teamwork: It is my goal to work with you on your speech. I value your input and your ideas; it is my job to amplify them and make them shine.
