Speech Topics
How do you choose a speech topic? This challenge confronts every Toastmaster who strives to become an expert speaker. At our club we help you choose topics.
Meanwhile, whether or not you are a club member here are some ideas:
- Get personal - stories about yourself are often of interest
- Think of your audience's biggest problems - and create a speech that solves one of them
- What have you enjoyed? Sharing your pleasure helps you be enthusiastic about your topic
- What do you feel strongly about? Talk about your passions
- Self-help ideas often win at contests, especially if they have a touch of humor - how to...lose weight, build a deck, grow plants, cook, sell, give speeches, etc.
- Travel is a good topic - either locally or to far flung shores
Here are some links to more ideas for your speech:
