Preparing a Speech

Preparation is critical. A good speech has a beginning, middle and end or in other words, an introduction, main body and conclusion.

A simple guideline to follow when making speeches is:

Say what you are going to say.
Say it.
Say what you've said.

We have provided frameworks for writing and preparing speeches that you can download as Word or PDF files.
