Every one of them is glad they did.
I almost didn't give a speech because I thought it wasn't my place. This tool helped me realize I had something beautiful to say. My son cried, his wife hugged me, and I'm so glad I spoke up.
Mother of the Groom, Nashville
I'm not a public speaker and I was terrified. But the speech it helped me write was so genuinely me that it felt like talking to family, not performing. Three people told me it was their favorite speech of the night.
