How Long for a Formal Speech?                Thirty Minutes at Most, Study Says.

If you’re giving a formal speech, you better limit your remarks to 30 minutes at most, according to a new study.

After that, the listeners begin to daydream, according to a recent study by Bedlam Entertainment.  The study showed that after 30 minutes, more than half the audience tunes out.

Indeed, at Speechworks, we believe that nothing is more important than keeping a presentation tight and focused.

We show you how to do just that in our workshops and private coaching sessions.   

Our programs focus on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is simple and focuses on audience needs. Speechworks teaches a simple Formula for focusing on listener needs.  We believe that if you have strong content, you will be more confident when you get up to speak.
  • How to deliver the message in a style that connects with the listeners.  We focus on eye contact, gestures, voice energy, and facial energy. Our coaches will give you private feedback on where you most need to improve.

So if you want to be a better speaker, give us a call.  We can help you keep your messages tight so that you wow your audience and don't lull them to sleep.

At Speechworks we help our clients learn how to give communicate in a way that connects and persuades.  If you’re interested in becoming a great communicator give us a call at 404-266-0888 or check out our website at www.speechworks.net
