After Dinner Speech: Advice from THE Executive Speech Coach East Coast Associate Sims Wyeth that you can pass along.
The after dinner speech is a formal speech with one big difference: it should revolve around a humorous illustrative story.
A word of caution: establish a serious theme at the outset then illustrate it with a whimsical story.
And make the transition into the story casually. Don’t say, “You know … that reminds me of the story about two lumberjacks…” Get into your story so casually that there is no dividing line. Throw the clutch without grinding the gears.
If you are looking to improve your presentation skills you can invest in Fripp learning materials or an upcoming Patricia Fripp & Darren LaCroix speech coaching camp.
