Writing a Speech?
Let's Work Together
Live the dream of writing a speech and delivering your presentation with the mastery that you feel called to display.
My name if Brian Bellamy. I am a speech, debate, and trial skills coach. I mentor speech-makers, students, litigators and others through the transition from uncertain delivery of their words into confident public speakers.
Are you writing the speech that you dreamed of when you engaged in public speaking, debate, delivering a toast, presenting opening remarks in a trial?
Public Speaking can be tough - and you may have got to the point where you wish you could have professional coaching to help you through the process.
Alternatively, you may feel as if you're 'almost there,' but need someone to look over what you've done, suggest improvements, and address your concerns.
The truth is that every influential or entertaining public speaker got to where they are by following the guidance, advice, or example of a mentor or coach who went before them.
Over the past decade, I have had the privilege and honor of working with many persons responsible for writing a speech including school valedictorians, award-winning mock trial participants, debaters in multiple forums, and hundreds of others on the successful preparation and delivery of speeches and arguments. The most exciting part of my work, with many of these individuals, has been helping them create skills and build confidence for profiting in school, career, and life.
I want to help you with writing a speech and speaking in life consistent with your dreams for engagement, persuasion, and success. So stop worrying over that speech you've been asked to make and let's get it prepared! Below are the products and services that would allow us to work together to elevate your message, help you with writing a speech, and lift your soft skills to new heights.
I Can Help With Writing a Speech of Most Types

Let's Connect
Don't see the type of speech you are working on listed? Contact me using the form at the end of this page and let's connect.
I'll follow up with you briefly and determine if I can help you get the result that you want. If not, I'd enjoying knowing you as a user of BST and encouraging your success.
Please note - I do not write speeches for school, especially school-related assignments, to receive a grade. If you can benefit, I'll propose appropriate coaching or services. My goal is to connect you with an experience that will earn an A in class or life.
The Words of Your Speech Should Be Personal to You. Let me help lift the knowledge and passion inside of you to a higher level.
We will determine if we should spend more time together through private coaching services or participation in our weekly public speaking mastermind experience.
So, at the outset, I will ask you questions about you.
Through my one-on-one or mastermind coaching, you will confidently deliver.
- Speeches appropriate for the occasion
- Presentations that are written by you and delivered comfortably from your heart
- Arguments with coherent claims, evidence, and warrants
You can write a custom speech from scratch - NOT from a template - so you can be sure your words will be original and your message meaningful.
You may ask - "Can I Adapt a Free Speech from Your Website?"
Of course - there are many sample speeches on this site you can use as guidelines for your own, and I welcome you to do so. Not everyone wants a coach.
If, however, you desire to benefit from participation in a motivated group of intentional participants, you should consider a mastermind. The influence and resources of other people in your group will help you elevate your speech writing and delivery skills.
If you know the ideas, words, and structure of your speech are inside you, but you get writer's block, then you should consider individual coaching.
Do you feel uncomfortable writing a speech yourself? Let's work together and build your confidence. Visualize yourself delivering your unique message effectively.
