Your Speech Structure Frees You to Be Creative
As you prepare your upcoming presentations, your content is everything you want to say. Your structure helps you organize your brilliant ideas so they land with clarity and impact. Think of it like this: Your content is the flesh over your structure, which is the skeleton. One brings the shape, the other brings the power.
If you’re like most speakers, your creative process is wonderfully messy. That’s exactly as it should be—creativity is messy. However, your audience deserves more than a flood of ideas. They need a clear path, a focused message, and a speaker who sounds confident and in control. That’s where structure makes all the difference.
The Fripp Structure process helps you shape your ideas into a message that’s organized, persuasive, and unforgettable. It saves you time, reduces stress, and makes you look polished and professional, no matter your topic, audience, or speaking experience.
Here’s Where It All Begins: Step One – Gather Your Content
Begin with a blank canvas before you open your laptop or build your slides. I always recommend a whiteboard, flip chart, or yellow pad. Allow yourself to think freely and capture everything that could serve your audience. This is best when not all in one sitting.
Brainstorm by yourself or with a friend. Gather:
Personal stories that bring your message to life
Key ideas to develop “chunks” of content
Memorable phrases, quotes, or surprising statistics
Audience-specific concerns, challenges, or aspirations
A working title that piques curiosity
This is your raw material. Don’t edit yet, gather. Your goal here isn’t perfection, it’s abundance. The more you collect, the more you’ll have to shape.
Once you see it all in front of you, the real fun begins: organizing your thoughts into a logical, listener-friendly structure that drives your message home.
