Great Speech Writing & Communication’s Post

✍️ Back with Part 2 of my public speaking series! Last time we talked about how I figure out what I'm going to say. Today's focus is on writing it down. After I've got my ideas sorted, I start putting them into words. It's me, my laptop, and a whole lot of typing. The key part? Reading it back to myself and making changes. I read, edit, and tweak until it sounds just like I want it to. This isn't the flashiest part of public speaking, but it's essential to make sure what I say is clear and hits home. How do you go about writing your speeches? Keep an eye out for the final piece of the puzzle in my next post – practice makes perfect! #SpeechWriting #FromMindToPaper #PublicSpeakingTips

So you've booked that speaking engagement; now how do you prepare? 🤔 Here's 3 types of notes speakers can use as they practice, prepare, and plan for events. Manuscript: a word for word script best used when there's an emphasis on precision and concision. Outline: consists of high-level points with occasional details providing flexibility for the speaker. Keyword note: uses words or phrases to trigger your memory and is often used by experts who can confidently speak off the cuff. Everyone has their own style, so use what works best for you! Just remember to keep context, formality, and needs of your audience in mind when doing so. #MasteryMonday #publicspeaking #tipsandtricks #communication #skills #communicationcoach #practice #professionalspeaker #writing #keynote #speaker

How to write a great speech: Firstly, the speech writing begins with the speaker who knows the story they want to tell. The speaker has to connect to the story. It shouldn't just be mere words. There should be a headline where the story hangs on to. Say something bigger than the moment. Look beyond the headliner. Look beyond that moment. Authenticity. Make it real. Things people can relate to in their everyday life. Humour. Tell jokes to engage your audience. Know your audience. Have a permission structure in speechwriting (establish trust). You can share a personal story or find shared values or interests to create a sense of unity. Bonus tips: Any inspired speechwriting should write constantly. Read widely. #writing #writer #Speechwriting #myjourneyonLinkedIn

Break the grammar and writing rules you were taught in school. You are not writing to impress your high school teacher anymore. You are communicating with business professionals. They have less time. And a low attention span. 1) Avoid ‘thus’ and ‘therefore’.  2) Use active voice instead of passive voice. 3) Don’t use adjectives and adverbs excessively. 4) You can start your sentence with ‘But’ or ‘Because’. 5) Avoid overly formal words; ‘Please be informed’ is best kept away. 6) Prioritize conciseness and relevance over verbose and complex writing. #Writing #BusinessWriting #Communication

School lied to you. Word minimums are important in your English paper, but in the real world, the quicker you make your point, the more eyes and ears you'll capture. Here's 3 ways to make your speech, proposal, or op-ed more efficient: 1. Start with the problem. Readers will quickly lose interest if they feel a piece isn't applicable to them. When you start by addressing a specific problem, you enhance the urgency of your message and demand peoples' attention. In 2024, attention is like gold, so pan for it and pan for it early. 2. Avoid flowery language. I'm a writer. My instinct is to make my prose as "pretty" as possible. The issue? The only people who interact with my "pretty" pieces are my parents. People like short, declarative sentences and thought provoking questions. Give them those, and your message will stand out by default. 3. Keep stories short. People love stories. They're a fun, effective way to bolster a message. But, as fun as you think your WHOLE story may be, your readers or listeners just want to know how the story relates to your message. Make sure your story is like driving down a highway, not navigating a maze. --- Need tips on #writing, #storytelling, and effective #communication?

Effective communication is attained through the mastery of grammar and punctuation. When writing, the precision of your words matters. When you use the write diction, you elevate your writing and help your audience articulate your thoughts with clarity. 📚✨ #writing #writinginspiration #writingcoach #languagemastery #effectivecommunication #thegrowthpen
