Patricia Fripp explains how to create and organize content for a speech or presentation through FrippVT.
How do you find content for your speech or presentation? A treasure trove of content is waiting to be discovered in your everyday personal or professional life. Your own experiences, even if they seem “ordinary” to you, can be a great source of relatable, entertaining and authentic content. Consider how you might incorporate stories you’re already naturally sharing with your family, friends, and colleagues. In this brief sample from FrippVT, I introduce a few basic techniques to help you start to create original, vivid stories from your own life experiences:
Frippercize:
- What incident or situation this week has compelled you to talk about it at work or at the dinner table?
- What story makes your friends and coworkers laugh when you relate it?
- What is an average day for you? Observe and describe what happens as you go through an average day in your life.

“For the past five years, you have helped me design, script, and deliver all my important presentations. Each year the Blue Diamond Growers meeting is very important. Each year the events and my speeches get better. Thanks to your speech coaching help this year, I had growers tell me it was the best President’s speech ever given at Blue Diamond! There were dozens of comments saying my speech was a great balance of humor and information. Thank you for making it great!”
