Speeches
1. A motivational speech geared to students and parents.
Barbara Florio Graham was so beloved by her students at The Latin School of Chicago that many have kept in touch over the years. Her very first class of 7th graders have invited her to join them for their 40th reunion in October, 2007.
Barbara recently spoke to a group of Ismaili Muslim students attending a weekend leadership workshop. Juliana Najak, Aga Khan Education Board for Ottawa, reported: One of the parents said his daughter couldn't stop talking about how inspirational your talk was. You certainly had great impact.
2. A motivational speech tailored to the needs of your organization.
As a talented and creative writer, Barbara can prepare whatever suits your specific requirements.
Need to help new staff understand your environment?
Want to motivate existing staff at a retreat?
How about some creativity exercises to amuse, energize, and stimulate your workplace?
Need a team-building speaker/workshop leader?
3. Effective Presentations and Readings
Writers are often nervous when asked to make a short presentation or to give a reading.
In this hour-long seminar, Bobbi will demonstrate how to dress, to stand or sit, to use a microphone, and how to project your voice. She will also suggest what makes the best selection to read, how to introduce each selection, and how to discuss your work.
4. A wedding toast, a memorial service eulogy, any other type of speech
You can give me an outline and let me take it from there, or you can arrange for me to interview you and write something for you to then modify as you see fit.
