Learn how to write a speech in seven days

Have to do a speech for a wedding? Or maybe you have a work presentation for your boss or a client? Not sure where or how to start? Are you staring at a blank PowerPoint slide struggling on how to outline your presentation and what to put in?

Conversely, are you interested in learning how speakers create great speeches? What is the process that they use? How does the speech length affect how you prepare for your speech?

All great speakers have their own plan that they follow when they need to create a speech and I have shared my seven day approach for everyone to learn and adapt so that anyone can craft a great speech. This is the same method that I have used to create over 100 speeches in Toastmasters and how I create and prepare for work presentations in an easy and stress-free manner.

What are you going to get out of this book?

- A seven day approach to creating and delivering a speech

- Checklists at the end of each day to make sure that your speech is progressing and that you are on the right track

- Tips for creating and delivering a speech including outlining your speech, research, the number of ideas to ideally cover in your speech, body language, vocal variety and more that will make your speech amazing

How do I know this seven day approach works? I followed my own schedule and tips in the book and show you exactly what I did and how I did it with a speech that I crafted especially for this book. At the end of every day in this seven day approach, you can see the progress that I made in my speech and exactly what I did to get it ready for delivery. There is even a video showing how I delivered the speech with a live audience.

Communication is a vital part of every job, relationship and interaction that you have with others.

If you have been taking an impromptu unstructured approach to creating your speech or you need to deliver a speech in a short time frame, this book will be perfect for you.
