The more you do it, the better you get. Getting started with your speechwriting.

It’s tough to start a speech. Often it is only at that moment you realise that the dogs need walking, your teeth need brushing and the plants need their water. Okay, I admit it, procrastination works sometimes but I find what helps the most is to ease into the writing zone by doing something related to my topic. 
I might pull up a few web sites to get a new perspective on the speech I’m writing. I might sketch a draft with the points I will need to make. And yes, I may even water my plants, not mindlessly however, I’ll hold the garden hose and think about that darned beginning.

Is laughter the best medicine for your speech?

I can’t wait to see Philomena give a speech. Oh, for those of you outside of the Caribbean, Philomena is the local doyenne of comedy; she dresses in drag as a cleaning lady and dishes dirt on everything from politics to the economy to relationships.  
 
But back to my point though. I would love to see Philomena deliver a key note address without the head-tie, the apron and the freakish makeup. Instead I’d put her behind a lectern, corporate suit and all and I’d bet  a million dollars, she’d  be good. Damn good really because right away she’d know that humour is one of the best techniques that a speechgiver can use  to connect with his /her audience.
