Speechwriting

If we spoke as we write, we should find no one to listen; and if we wrote as we speak, we should find no one to read. —TS Eliot

Ethos CRS can provide specialist speechwriting skills to:

• write the speech you require
• train your staff to write speeches
• mentor your staff through the process of writing particular speeches.

Writing the speech for you

The ability to write a compelling speech that reflects the speaker and engages with the audience is a rare skill. It requires logical thought, an understanding of the audience, and a finely tuned ear to the cadence and texture of the written word.

The Ethos CRS speechwriters are talented writers with decades of experience. They have written speeches for the Prime Minister, other ministers, secretaries of Commonwealth departments, chief executive officers and many others besides.

The kinds of speeches we have written include:

• policy announcements
• landmark speeches
• statements
• launches
• PowerPoint presentations
• seminars

If you need a thoughtful, engaging, well-constructed speech for any occasion, the writers at Ethos CRS can write it for you.

Training your staff to write speeches

Ethos CRS offers group programs that develop the skills of professionals to write speeches—or presentations—that convince and persuade.

We develop skills so that trainees are able to lead their audience through the logic of the argument and put forward a compelling case. We focus on how to structure and style a speech to suit the time, place, audience and message of a speech.

Courses and content are tailored to meet the needs of individual organisations.

Mentoring your staff

Our experienced staff can guide your writers in developing, researching, writing and editing speeches.

We can provide one-on-one help to your staff, giving them coherent and logical feedback on their own work, and setting them up with the principles of speechwriting to enable them to fly solo next time.
