Coaching & corporate training
Words are only half the job.
The finest speech falls flat if it is not delivered well, which is why I coach the delivery, not just the words. I work with executives and teams who pitch and present for a living, and with anyone facing the biggest talk of their life. Drawing on fifteen years in television and on stages around the world, I show you how to calm the nerves, hold the room and speak with real authority.

Why work with me
The best idea ever? Letting a professional write it.
I'm Adrian Simpson. I started out as a magazine journalist in London, spent fifteen years in television, including presenting on BBC Top Gear, and I've been writing speeches professionally since 2012. In that time I've become the UK's most highly rated and reviewed wedding speech writer, and I've given talks around the world, including at MIT in Boston, to global CEOs in the telecoms industry.
Every speech I write is original and built around you: your relationship, your memories, your sense of humour. I don't keep a drawer of stock jokes. I listen, I find the story only you can tell, and I write it so it sounds like the best possible version of you, not like a speechwriter.

- We make it perfect. Unlimited tweaks until every word feels right and sounds like you.

Questions people ask before getting in touch
How does it actually work?
You share your stories with me, I write a complete speech around them, and we refine it together until it's perfect. The whole thing is built from scratch around you.
How long does it take?
Most speeches are drafted within 7 days, and I can work to tight deadlines, even last-minute, when needed.
Is the speech really original?
Completely. Every speech is written from the ground up for one person. I never reuse jokes, lines or templates.
