The most memorable speeches inspire, entertain, and praise. By blending stories and eloquence, great speeches highlight the core values motivating an audience. You might need to do this in a keynote address, a eulogy, or simply a business meeting. Inspiring audiences is a common, but difficult writing challenge. You want a speech that elevates the topic and the audience.

TOP REVIEWS FROM SPEAKING TO INSPIRE: CEREMONIAL AND MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES
One big downside is how many peers dont do their assignments. It makes the grading of peers difficult as its nonsense many times.
It was an amazing experience with University of Washington and Sir Matt MacGarrity. Thanx to Coursera and Prime Minister for providing such learning opportunity.
Great course gives you an insight into preparing and delivering a great speech! I will recommend it.
