Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve used The Nail Your Speech Process for more than 20 years to gather a combination of facts, feelings and experiences. First you’ll answer a few simple but thought-provoking questions. Then I’ll call you to go deeper on some of the information. I also want to get to know you and your values, character, personality and sense of humor—all of which factor heavily into the voice and personality of your speech.

All of them—father/mother of the bride and groom, maid of honor, bar/bat mitzvah, birthday, corporate, best man, bride, groomsman, bridesmaid and officiant. Each speech is different but I use the same meticulous research process to uncover and organize your thoughts, feelings and experiences. That means a speech 100% aligned with your values, personality and sense of humor. This is a speech only one person in the world can deliver—you.

Yes, you're in complete control. Some clients mention our work together to others, some don't. It's up to you. Regardless, I'm always working behind the scenes to help you nail your speech.

This is a highly personalized service that will ensure your speech is the best speech of the event. If you're struggling with what to say or are an inexperienced speaker, this is for you. You don't have to continue wrestling with this alone or resort to using the same dull, generic lines and phony B.S. off Google you hear at every wedding or other event.
I've written speeches and coached thousands of speakers at all age and experience levels for more than 20 years. This process will work for you, too.
Giving a wedding, bar mitzvah or other speech is, for most of us, a once-in-a-lifetime honor. I will help make sure it’s one of the best experiences of your life.

After earning a B.A. in communication studies and an M.A. in journalism on scholarship, I began my career in marketing agencies creating strategy and writing ads, films, speeches, books, websites and other materials for Fortune 500 companies and global nonprofits.
CEOs and other executives at client companies would often ask me to write a wedding, eulogy or other speech. These execs were also typically nervous about delivering their speech.
And there is a strong emotional component to social speeches where, for example, a father is speaking to his daughter or a maid of honor is honoring her big sister.
I enjoy helping people who are under pressure, short of time or doubting their abilities nail their wedding and other social speeches.
A little more here. Among every other speech imaginable, I also write eulogies here.
