I like how the article conveys this sense of urgency that you feelf when you have to write a speech instantly. And I like that you put the audience as the first and most important point. Many people forget that easily. Nice! I like how the article conveys this sense of urgency that you feelf when you have to write a speech instantly.

More toastmasters alumni :) - everyone should do toastmasters for a bit... A few of the local companies here now pay for membership for any of their staff that want to join.

I think you've captured the essence of good speechwriting really well while abandoning some of the more fluffy advice that usually gets bandied around. I'm a semi-lapsed member of the Isis Toastmasters club in Oxford, and having read this I'm tempted to get back on the public speaking horse... ;o) Nice article, Benjamin.

It makes for interesting possibilities in ordering and delivering the speech. @Steven Shows how hard communication is! But I'm glad you figured it out, and hope it helps with the blog writing. @Stan – Think of spatial structure this way: where there is an aspect of location to the topics, for example talking about eight different office locations, or the different parts of a building.

Remember, you know what you are going to tell them. That is a massive head start, so give the audience a chance to catch up! People always take in less that you expect.

I especially like the tell em, tell em, and tell em again part. I am still always amazed at how the message can be lost or misunderstood. Great article on writing a speech.
