What customers say…
Steve, Illinois
I had well over 50% of the people attending compliment me on my speech. What a great feeling! When I first decided to hire you, I thought you were a little pricey, but after going through the full DEN experience, I can honestly say the fee you charge is a real value.” (continue)
Laura, California

Michael, Arizona
“Your help, guidance, and preparation for my speech was priceless, as it went off without a hitch. Just the right amount of time, and definitely the right amount of depth to the stories to keep the message flowing. I can't thank you enough for your mentorship and guidance in this process - and it works like a charm. (continue)
How to give the best bar or bat mitzvah speech they’ve ever heard…
Original
Your relationship with your son or daughter is like no one else’s.
But it’s difficult to step back from years of thoughts, memories and feelings to make sense of it all.
I get to the heart, soul and humor of your relationship to create a speech only one person in the world can give—you.
Authentic
Your voice and personality can’t be captured in canned speeches, generic compliments and silly lines found online.
Audiences want an authentic, inside look at your relationship and will feel bored and manipulated if you try and con them with the same empty platitudes that can be said about every bride and groom everywhere. Snore.
Organized
The best bar or bat mitzvah speech is grounded in the fact humans have been hard-wired for story since the Stone Age.
So like a movie, your speech must grab, entertain and surprise the audience in a simple narrative structure that is more showing than telling.
