How to Write a Commencement Speech

Published 3 weeks ago
Description

Most of the time, if you're good at writing one style of speech, you're good at writing all of them. Speech writing is a very transferable skill no matter if it's for a keynote, a lecture, a sales pitch, or pretty much anything else. But there are some exceptions. 

Commencement speeches draw a weird, wobbly fine line between being casual, inspirational, funny, and reflective. You can't talk about yourself too much or it'll sound self indulgent. You can't talk about the grads too much cause that just feels like pandering. Can't be so silly you sound immature but can't be so serious you sound pretentious. But there is a way to walk that fine line. 

In today's episode we go over the 5 simple parts that structure an excellent commencement speech every single time. And if you're younger trying to find how to write the other type of graduation speech (valedictorian or salutatorian speeches) stick around till next week where we go over just that!
