Speechwriting

Make them laugh, make them cry - do something, damn it

With our unique skill set - speech writing services and public speaking coaching - we can help you write a great speech and become more confident in the way you deliver it.

Imagine this. You’ve just finished your speech. The audience is clapping. The noise fills your ears.

The adrenaline is subsiding, your breath is slowing, a smile emerges on your lips. You look at a room full of eager faces. You’ve done it.

To give a great speech, the main obstacle you need to overcome is yourself: your fear of doing a bad job and your fear of how you are perceived. As performance poets and storytellers, we’ve stood on many stages, felt that fear and overcome it time and again. We know what works. And, thanks to that experience, we can help you get out of your own way.

Let’s light the fire within so you can leave the audience wanting more. It’s not out there, it’s in here (taps chest).

Working with professional
UK speech writers
helps you to:

Turn great ideas into interesting stories.

Grab and hold people’s attention.

Take your audience on a journey.

Choose words that are authentically you.

Feel calm and confident on the day.

No one wants to be lectured.
They want to be involved, to feel seen,
to be a character in the story.

With guidance and support
all the way through

Whether it’s a keynote, leadership update, or internal event, we’ll help you write and deliver with confidence, including:

  • Briefing, research, finding the right anecdotes.

  • Writing for clarity, flow, and emotional engagement.

Invite the unknown

It’s a process of revealing
not imposing

We know the techniques that work well to engage and move an audience, but the raw material comes from you. Our job is to uncover it and to encourage you to go towards your edge, beyond the professional self to the human being within.

Who we help

This is for you if:

  • You’re a CEO or leader and you have an important keynote or event speech coming up.
  • You’re an executive and you want a coach for public speaking and storytelling.
  • You’re a leader stepping into a new role and you want to connect with and inspire your team
  • You have great ideas but struggle to express them with clarity and confidence.

Public speaking coaching -
knock their socks off

We’ve seen speakers with brilliant words lose their audience because they weren’t confident in their delivery. That’s why we don’t just write – we help you bring the speech to life.

With our background in live storytelling and poetry, hosting events and running workshops, we have a fully stocked toolkit to help with public speaking and get you or your team ready for the big day. Our public speaking coaching and leadership communication training includes:

  • Half-day public speaking training for teams: On site or online – helping your people go beyond the script and find the words that light them up, so they can do the same to the audience.
  • Bespoke public speaking coaching programme for leaders: 3-10 sessions designed to help you discover your voice, embrace storytelling and become a much more confident speaker.
