Speech Writer

As a speechwriter I can make you a Rock Star to your audience and help you overcome self-limiting obstacles.

Many approach a speech, a presentation, a PowerPoint or a toast as a dreaded task to get out of the way quickly and without much planning. They categorize it as “something to just get done”. You will benefit from a speechwriter who will free up your time while at the same time make you a priority. You deserve a speech that sounds like you – only better.

Speech WriterIt begins as a collaborative effort and then Leslie does the work. Leslie talks to you so she can write it in your voice: she “pulls” things out of you that you may not even know are buried inside! And it will truly sound like you . . . your best you. The “you” that it would sound like if you had the training and the time to write it yourself. But you get to take all the credit for increasing your visibility and viability in your company and in your profession.

When Leslie writes your speech you will Stand Out when the spotlight of life focuses on you. You will get rave reviews, and be perceived as a dynamic leader. Today to be perceived as an effective leader you need to speak well.

Let me help you with your next wedding toast whether you are the father or mother, best man or maid of honor, sibling or friend

A Toast by any other name is still a speech. Which means a Wedding Toast needs to follow the same commandments:  it shall not bore the audience, shall not ramble, and shall not embarrass. What a Wedding Toast should be when talking about someone you love is authentic, well thought out, and short.

This Really Happened:

A woman made a beeline for me across a packed room at the conclusion of the CEO’s State of the Company Speech. “I understand you wrote Jeff’s speech”, she asked. “Yes”, I replied, “I did”.

I could see the quizzical look on her face.  I asked, “I bet you are wondering why I write his speeches when he, an articulate CEO, could write them himself?”

She nodded her head in agreement.

I told her and I will share with you the three BIGGEST reasons a person of power benefits from me writing their speech.

1. They have better things to do with their time
2. My process reduces their anxiety and negative prep time
3. When I write their speech they will stand out, they will get rave reviews, they will be perceived as a dynamic executive
