As some of you have noticed, I write other blog posts between the articles for Steve Boyd’s Communication Newsletter. Last week, for example, I wrote articles on the three main types of speeches: manuscript, impromptu, and extemporaneous, with tips for making each type a successful speech.
I also post on my Speaker Stories blog stories you can use in your speeches or that might trigger a memory of an experience of your own that you can apply. You can find all these helpful posts by going to www.sboyd.com/blog any time.
And always feel free to contact me with questions about your upcoming speech!
