A well-written and organized speech greatly reduces the anxiety around delivery, and can help win over audiences in a way the written word just can't match.

She also provides guidance on writing speeches with different purposes, such as speeches that are primarily informative or persuasive, speeches designed for entertainment purposes, or those designed for a special occasion, such as award acceptance or toastmaster.
