What You'll Learn
Join us for an exclusive, free two-part online Masterclass with renowned top-ranked competitors, Roger Caesar and Alexandre Matte. Designed to help you find your next great speech ideas and content.
What You'll Learn:
How to uncover a speech idea worth competing with: Most contest speeches fail before they even begin - because the idea isn’t strong enough. Learn how to identify ideas with real emotional and competitive potential.
How to structure personal stories for emotional impact: Turn meaningful moments into compelling stories that connect with audiences and judges.
How to pitch your idea clearly in 2 minutes: Learn the simple structure we use to quickly test and refine a speech idea before writing the full speech.
What separates average contest speeches from standout ones: After competing on the world stage, we’ve seen what works - and what doesn’t.
Debunk Unwritten Rules of the International Speech Contest: One of our most popular topics: what competitors and judges think the rules are… and what actually wins audiences.
This is not theory. It’s practical, applied, and designed for competitors.
