About Me & best-speech-topics.com

Dear Fellow Speech Writer,

So glad you happened upon my speech topics pages! I've been working on this site now since 2006 and have enjoyed every second of it!

I'm the lover of words in my family. Whenever someone has an assignment or a public speaking engagement, they come to me for ideas and to help them edit their speeches.

I began working on the best speech topics site with my son Josh because he had a hard time in class when he had to write a paper or speak in front of his classmates.

I, on the other hand, loved reasearching and writing speeches on all kinds of topics, from informative, demonstrative, persuasive (my favorite), and speaking at special occasions just kind of came easy to me.

I also loved the Internet and the easy way you can connect to people to get the help you need any time of the day or night!

So I said to Josh (that's him over there)...let's start a site on speech topics and tips on how to go about writing and presenting them. I felt that by doing this he would be more likely to overcome any blocks he had in regards to researching, writing and presenting his speeches in front of an audience.

And you know what?!? It worked! He actually started to enjoy his speech writing assignments and began to feel comfortable with speaking in public!

He's moved on in terms of helping out with the website as he's now out working and studying to become a nurse and living on his own but I decided to keep adding to the site because I've gotten so much great feedback from you guys!

I love getting your emails about how best-speech-topics.com has helped you in your speech writing assignments

This site has been growing and growing for over 5 years now and I am delighted by the feedback and inspiration all you guys send in!

I love when you send in suggestions on what you want to see in terms of speech topics, public speaking tips and actual example speeches.

I also love when you send in quotes that mean something to you and that you use in your speeches! I mean you guys basically built two pages on this site by sending me your positive quotes for kids and more positive quotes for kids!

It warms my heart to know that I've helped you in some small way to feel more confident about speaking publicly and I love hearing how well you've done in your speaking assignments! It's great to hear how so many of you have overcome your fear of public speaking to become better and better presenters!

It's also great to hear from the teachers who visit asking if they can use a particular article or speech in their classrooms! So make sure you don't copy any of the speeches on this site because it's more than likely that your teacher has read them!

Keep the feedback coming...send in your comments through the contact form or send in your speech to share with all the other folks who come to visit from all over the world.

You guys are awesome!
