Hi… I’m Event Speechwriter & Strategist Den Pope

Audiences are tired of do-it-yourself speeches pieced together with dull, rambling stories… canned, one-size-fits-all lines… and other silliness online they’ve all heard before. Zzzz.

Imagine giving an original speech in your voice and personality that grabs and engages the crowd, has family, friends or colleagues laughing and crying, gets raves from people you don’t even know and creates a memory on video everyone will cherish forever.

In addition to many years of speechwriting and performance coaching experience, my real value to you is perspective.

You have many years of thoughts, memories, experiences and feelings about the event honoree(s) in your heart and head. And it probably all feels like a jumbled mess right now.

That makes it next to impossible to create a great speech that honors and is easy and enjoyable for the audience to follow.

It's painful for the audience to see speakers falling flat. But the fact is, most speakers struggle to connect with the audience.

Instead of having a great time honoring and entertaining guests, they're sweating bullets.

Or they're "winging it" with long, rambling inside stories no one is interested in or can follow.

Worse, some resort to using stale, silly jokes and one-liners they steal online. The fact is, no one wants to sit through a rookie stand-up comedian on open-mic night.

And no one wants to hear empty platitudes, canned lines and tired clichés read from a generic speech template.

What everyone is hoping for is a fun, sincere, original speech that gives them an honest, entertaining, "inside look" at the event honoree(s) through your eyes.

That means your speech has to be totally aligned with your values, personality, sense of humor and unique relationship with the honoree(s).

For more than 20 years, I’ve been focusing the thinking and creating the speeches for mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends and colleagues with absolutely zero speech writing or speaking experience (not to mention a fear of public speaking).

In just a few easy steps you’ll be “armed to the teeth” with an original speech and the know-how to crush it on the day of the event.

Book your speech below and get the secrets in the Bag of Tricks of every A-list public speaker.

Let me scoot you right past your fear, uncertainty and maybe even tiny panic attacks that set in every time you even think about the day of the event.

Unlike most people, Monday morning is my favorite time of the week. That’s when I hear back from speakers who knocked their speeches out of the park over the weekend.

I’m a speechwriter, but I’m really in the relationship business. I create surprisingly fun, warm and original speeches but my real goal is to make this one of the best experiences of your life as you bring family and friends together.

Here’s how it all started for me. After earning a B.A. in communication studies and an M.A. in journalism on scholarship, I began my career in marketing agencies creating strategy and writing ads, films, speeches, books, websites and other materials for Fortune 500 companies and global nonprofits.

CEOs and other executives at client companies would often ask me to write their speech for a wedding, bar mitzvah, anniversary, funeral, retirement or other social event in their personal lives.

As I wrote more speeches something interesting and unexpected happened. I began to feel, for the first time, that I was adding some real value to the world. Put another way, the world doesn’t need another ad campaign for insurance… the world desperately needs kickass birthday, bar mitzvah, wedding, eulogies and other speeches.

I’ve since worked with everyone from casino owners, Hollywood agents and CEOs… to FedEx drivers, firefighters and flight attendants. I can report these speeches drive everyone at least a little crazy because they push you out of your comfort zone.

And there is a strong emotional component to a bar or bat mitzvah where a father is speaking to his only daughter or a mother is honoring her son.

Over the last 20 years, I've helped thousands of speakers knock their speeches out of the park at events in the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza New York, Sydney Opera House and Karma Beach in Bali.... to banquet halls, country clubs and backyards around the world.

This is the easiest and most enjoyable way to not only nail your speech but make this speech one of the best experiences of your life.

Book early to ensure availability then relax.  This is going to be easier and more fun than you think.
