Deliver the perfect speech. 

I frequently observe skilled business leaders delivering significant speeches that ultimately fall short.

Common pitfalls include:

Nervousness, speaking too rapidly or too softly, failing to clarify the central message, or going on for too long.

During my 25 years as an MP and UK Government Minister, I wrote and delivered speeches nearly every day. I encountered a wide range of audiences, from world leaders and royalty to frustrated individuals in a village hall!

Before any major address, I dedicated 1-2 hours to reviewing a checklist with a trusted aide. I am eager to share this expertise with anyone preparing to speak before an important audience.

A handful of straightforward techniques can vastly enhance the effectiveness of any speech you need to deliver.
