Giving a Speech? Steal These Ideas
- Keep it short. A few great minutes beats a long speech every time.
- Tell one story only you could tell. Specific memories land better than general compliments.
- Keep the jokes kind. Grandma is in the room. Roast lightly, then say something sweet.
- Practice out loud. Run it a few times in front of a friend so the timing feels natural.
