Speech Coaching to Simplify Your Job & Electrify Your Executives with Patricia Fripp
The Silicon Valley Speechwriters Roundtable hosted Patricia Fripp for a webinar on ‘Speech Coaching to Simplify Your Job & Electrify Your Executives’. A full video recording of the event is available.
Please ignore the terrible delay on my video which makes it seem as if I’m heavily medicated – there is no delay on Ms. Fripp’s video whatsoever. You’ll hear her describe:
- How she first became involved in professional speaking
- How she works 1:1 with executives to prep them for an important speech
- What it takes to launch a freelance speechwriting business
- What speechwriters can learn from Hollywood scriptwriters
- How to deal with executives who are boring onstage
and much more…

During the webinar we addressed a number of audience questions. However there were two questions we did not have time to answer. Here’s Ms. Fripp’s response:
Ms. Fripp: Chris, no I said “get into the story late and leave early.” This relates to getting to the main action of the story earlier. The person I am quoting is Michael Hauge. Check out his website and sign up for his newsletter. Most speakers give too much set up.
(Ian adds: Read this meeting report on the May 2014 NSA Northern California meeting where Michael Hauge and Patricia Fripp discuss how Hollywood Secrets help Professional Speakers.)
Ms. Fripp: JoAnn, yes. Getting to the point, focus on the listen, give examples and application for your ideas is just as important in conversations and 1-1 meetings.
