One of the greatest gifts at our command is the ability to express ourselves clearly and forcefully. This is most notably displayed in William Shakespeare’s quintessential play about politics, Julius Caesar. As the plot develops, Marcus Brutus, one of the conspirators, with ringing oratory, persuades the citizens of Rome to endorse the assassination of Caesar, only to have that endorsement reversed by the passionate advocacy of Caesar’s protege, Mark Antony. Antony then defeats Brutus and Cassius in battle and avenges the assassination of his hero. A speaker today might not need to reach the heights of Shakespearean oratory; one does not have to be a Ronald Reagan, a Nelson Mandela or a Barack Obama; one might simply want to persuade a nation to support a certain course of action, or to convince a legislature to vote on a particular policy. An attorney might wish to assure a jury of the innocence of his client, a religious leader to call a sinner to repentance, or a businessman to inspire a class of graduating students. While the occasions that require the greatest oratorical skills might never arise for the most us, such skills can make a big difference when one must deliver a lecture, address business partners, influence fellow citizens or simply offer a vote of thanks or introduce a speaker. The ability to move people in these situations does help to produce change, advance careers, burnish reputations and it wins us the regard of those with whom we come in contact. Speechmakers International, located in the island of Jamaica, the island of Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley, now offers to the home market, to the Caribbean and Florida, a speechwriting service of the first quality for leaders in politics, business and social organisations. With our service these leaders may win support, move mountains, inspire audiences, communicate ideas and get the occasional standing ovation. Apart from writing speeches, the firm also offers advice on effective delivery.
