139 - I have to write a speech, where do I start?

Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson: communication coaching for humble leaders

In this episode of Speaking with Confidence I’m answering a community question:

How do I write a speech? Where do I even start?

It’s an excellent question and in this short episode I talk you through my step-by-step process for writing ANY kind of speech.

Listen in to hear:

• Why the starting point of any good speech is actually the end
• How to limit your speech to just a handful of key messages
• Why I’m a massive fan of ‘no script speeches’
• How to use just a few sticky notes instead of a full, scripted speech
• And what the most important part of your speech is (spoiler, it’s your connection to your audience, not your words)
