“I wanted to write to thank you for your guidance, support and help with my FOB toast. It couldn’t have gone better in every respect.  Content was great, you helped me get to the point where I could deliver it without tears and speak slowly and with the right emphasis at the right times.    Couldn’t be more pleased and appreciate what you did with/for me more!”
PA, Father of the Bride, Nov 24

JBS Groom, Sep 24

“Just wanted to let you know that the speech went down very well, and I had lots of people congratulating me afterwards – importantly the bride and groom were also very happy. Thanks very much for your efforts.”
AW, Best Man, Jul 24

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Ben for helping me with writing my speech, I had no confidence in how to write it or deliver it beforehand.  Ben gave me a great questionnaire document to go through which allowed me to add specific things I wouldn’t have thought of, this gave a great structure to my speech and allowed it to flow so much better! 

His help delivering the speech was the game changer for me, as the simple queues and pauses where necessary allowed me to have confidence delivering the speech. It was a great success and for the first time ever, I am now looking forward to my next public speaking event!”
TW, Groom, Jul 24

“I could not manage these events without your help, you weave everything to make an interesting and relevant flowing story .. “
SC, After dinner, Nov 24

“Ben is a remarkable editor, and it was my distinct pleasure to use his services to edit a Tedx speech. He deftly teased out the most pressing and complicated portions of the speech – he was skillful in making relatively complex and lengthy material accessible, concise, and interesting. Further his integrity is truly admirable; he provided me with candid feedback and constructive criticism. As a speechwriting editor, Ben has the ability to convey dense subject matter and a diaspora of issues into an organized, well-structured, easily understandable, noteworthy, and convincing format to a broad audience. Finally, he has an engaging outlook and brought a contagious enthusiasm and an infectious curiosity to the subject matter, which translated well into a clearly persuasive, powerful, and memorable speech.”
