An Intensive 1-day Training Course

Becoming an Effective Speechwriter

Learn to write speeches that captivate and inspire audiences

INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Speech writing is an invaluable skill for public speaking and communication in general. Most important societal changes are inspired through speeches with unique wording. In everyday life, words are one of the most powerful tools. Words can 'build bridges' and 'burn them'; words can hurt and heal, demoralise and inspire.

This KC Academy "Becoming an Effective Speechwriter" short course combines writing, public speaking, and psychology knowledge.

During this course, the skills you will develop are essential for public speaking across various texts such as conferences, election campaigns, diplomacy activities, mana, management, and board meetings.

This KC Academy training course will explore:

  • Preparing to write: developing your topic and structuring your content
  • A powerful beginning and a memorable end: introductions and conclusions.
  • Getting personal: using references, jokes, stories, and the odd statistic.
  • Writing to speak: speeches that sound like they should be spoken.
  • Speeches of character: how to add personality to your speeches.
  • Inspiration from history's best speeches.
  • Analysis of what great speakers do - and what they don't.
