Your boss just asked you to write a speech — now what?
Without the right guidance, it’s easy to end up with a speech that is too long, too complex or simply doesn’t sound right.
AI models seem like a quick fix, but they often produce generic, robotic or even factually-incorrect content, putting both you and your speaker at risk.
My online, team and 1-on-1 speechwriting courses, built on 15+ years of experience at the highest levels of government and business, will help you write speeches that get results and impress your boss.
Struggling with Speechwriting at Work? You're Not Alone.

Speed up the drafting process without losing the human touch.
Avoid embarrassing AI-generated mistakes that could hurt your credibility.
Make AI your assistant, not your replacement, so your speech still sounds like your speaker (or you!).
