Portfolio

Speeches comes in all shapes and sizes and flavors. The samples included here are as close as I can come to illustrating that range -- although I have excluded the more informal, internal-audience speeches in my portfolio: while they can be the most crucial speeches you make from a motivational perspective, informal-internal speeches need to stay "inside the locker room."

What you will find here are:

• A speech to an overseas audience that inspired many listeners to ask for the little-known speaker's autograph.
• A speech that meshed so naturally with the speaker's style, it required no revisions.
• A conference keynote address that avoided the typical PowerPoint speaker support.
• The opening remarks at an annual sales meeting that provided a call to arms.
• A high school commencement speech that inspired both graduates and parents.
