Use plain English in your speech

Use plain English in your speech

From Mary S. Lovell’s book:  ‘The Churchills’

‘An American general once drafted a speech and asked Churchill to go through it. Churchill gave it a dim report.

“What if, instead of ‘We shall fight them on the beaches’ I had said ‘Hostilities will be engaged with our adversary on the coastal perimeter?” ’

Use plain English if you want your message both understood AND REMEMBERED!

  1. Research and know your topic.
  2. Communicate your message using ‘Plain English’ (Simple words and no jargon)
  3. Tell relevant, well-honed stories to ensure your audience can easily ‘see’ and understand your ideas.
