Write winning speeches with Freddie DaniellsTuesday, 20 January 2015 @ 6:45pm with Freddie Daniells (Holborn Speakers, The Devereux Pub, 20 Devereux Court, London WC2R 3JJ)

What would it take to write a winning speech?

Have you ever wondered what it would take to write a speech that is truly inspiring? Have you ever wondered whether you could write one yourself? And have you ever thought whether you could take that speech all the way to the finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking?

Learn lessons from the winning speeches in the World Championship finals

Using speeches from past World Champions, Freddie will share his perspective on the key ingredients that will help you learn how to write a winning speech. A speech that is compelling and inspirational. The speech that you could enter in the International Speech contest this Spring! The workshop will help you understand both the structure and type of content that does well in the International Speech contest. These lessons are good foundation for speakers of all levels.

Freddie Daniells has attended 4 World Championships in person, was a judge in the 2013 finals and has attended many workshops by World Champions. He is also a professional speaking coach and 2012-13 District Governor for Great Britain & Ireland.
