Thank you very much for your contribution to the success of yesterday evening's dinner. I have put a lot of work into the 'Rabbits' over the year and as I said the perception of a Captain's year can very much be affected by the outcome of the annual dinner. Following, your excellent speech my reputation is firmly in tact, if not heightened. I thought your speech had the right balance of sincerity and humour. I mingled with the audience afterwards and without exception people were coming up to me and saying how much they enjoyed your speech. I would add that I have visited the Club this morning to thank the bar and catering staff and again have received further confirmation of  how well your speech was received.

There is humour in almost every speech I write and every speech is tailored to the audience: more details about this.

Here are some sample topics based on titles of speeches that I have given.  They can be adapted to your event i.e. after dinner, lunch or golf day.  For Motivational Speeches please visit the Motivational page. Every speech can be adapted to include individual members of the audience (if required).

  • Quad Bikes and Garden Parties - (Humour Packed speech about visits to Buckingham Palace and the private residence of a Senior Royal)
  • Sport - The difference between the way I play sport and patients receiving psychiatric treatment is that most of them get better and go home. Yorkshire is one of the great sporting counties in Britain and I am one of its great sporting disasters but I have had some fun along the way and I can help your audience feel good about themselves with tales from my sporting history
  • The History of Management - A sideways look at the absurdities of management speak and how it affects all of us
  • The Lawn Arranger - “Infotainment” Presentation drawing on experience as a Director of Europe’s largest turf company (based in Yorkshire) about ups and downs of doing business with Sir Cliff Richard Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, St Andrews and Wentworth Golf Courses to name but a few)
  • What’s in a Name? - Funny speech taking a not too serious look at the origins of town and city place names in the United Kingdom
  • Flying Lessons - You will learn how to fly! and have some laughs along the way
