Management Presentation: 8 Tips, Examples & a Template

In a corporate context, presenting works wonders for a career. Most professionals get exposure to presenting to informed colleagues and department managers. It’s an ideal way to get visibility and show value. But a management presentation to senior executives who aren’t familiar department nuances is a different ballgame.

A management presentation is a high-level summary to senior executive that optimizes reports to include only the details relevant to directorial decisions . They are notoriously difficult to navigate for two reasons: 1. most executives do not have working knowledge of the nuances in each department , 2. presenters rarely have time to understand executives’ preferences .

More than anything else, good management presenters learn how to strike a balance in the degree of detail: they provide enough detail so executives make informed decisions, but not so much detail that they cause confusion.

This article explores how to make a good management presentations in PowerPoint using 4 management presenting best practices , 4 management presenting techniques , providing examples for each, and finishing with a management presentation template you can apply in real life. You can use it as a jumping off point for deeper communication curriculum .

5 management presenting best practices are:

• Ask what managers prefer ahead of time.
• Have 1 message, and 1 message Only.
• The only words should be “Thought Starters.”
• Keep it short.
• Practice 7 times in advance.

4 management presenting techniques are:

• Use a CSP model – Challenge, Solution, Progress.
• Begin with a summary of exactly 3 points.
• Use only these 3 chart types: bar, line, scatter.
• Design slides with the company logo.

I will use a financial analyst perspective in this article, but everything here applies to data and business analysts as well.

Ask Executives Their Preference Ahead of Time

If you’ve ever taken a class on presentation techniques, you’ve heard the old adage “know your audience.” It’s true, the best way to deliver a great presentation is to align your message with what your audience already understands. The same applies to a management presentation.

The challenge is that, more often than not, executives are too busy for you to get to know them well. This means you hardly get the chance to understand how they like presentations. So what can you do? Well, ask them! There’s no harm in sending an email to understand better. And what’s more, once you know, you can always defer to their preferences in the future.

For a financial management presentation, common questions to ask include the following:

• Do you prefer to see raw data, or only visualizations?
• Do you prefer charts or table summaries?
• Would you like a written explanation on paper for each slide?
• Do you like averages alone, or do you prefer means, or standard deviation?
• What interests you most in a presentation?

If you gather some helpful insights, then your presentation will be that much better. That said, you may not get a response, or it may be quick and not insightful. But most senior executives will appreciate you asking .

The best part is you will be able to surprise them. Using the best practices and techniques below, in additional to any insights gathered form your email, will work wonders for you.

Have 1 Message, and 1 Message Only

The easiest mistake to make on a management presentation is trying to deliver multiple messages. Senior executives go through loads of meetings every day, and each meeting they have includes a wave of information. Your mission should be to deliver 1 essential message so they can easily understand and compartmentalize it.

This is no easy task. When I try to narrow down the focus of my management presentation message, it seems like I leave out critical information along the way. The key is to tell a story to incorporate critical information as part of a story towards the essential message.

For example, imagine you work for a wholesale watch company called Batch Watch . You want to explain a financing operation in which the company has the option of two loans to fund the initial costs of 10,000 watches. These loans have different interest rates and maturity dates. Loan A is better if the company expects to sell the watches within 3 months, while Loan B is better if the company expects to sell over more than 3 months. Each has cancellation fees and cash flow impacts.

Instead of showing the cancellation fees and cash flow impact of the each loan, all you need to say is “ we expect the company to sell them within 3 months, and we recommend loan A for that reason.” If the executives disagree on the sale timeline, they will ask for more information.

This is how you keep senior executives engaged, by integrating them in the story you tell. Ultimately, the essential message of your presentation should be how much profit the company will make from the watch funding operation. Senior executives should leave feeling like the project is in good hands with you, and they only feel that way when you tell a story around the essential message .

Whatever the Message, Use Data

Whatever message you want to send, it needs to be backed up by data. In the example above the data was financial, but it’s not always that simple. Context may require you to provide KPIs and perform extensive data analysis that culminates in a small output that your viewers can easily digest.

You need to be strong with data to deliver a good management presentation. To get started or refresh your memory, you can read AnalystAnswers’ free Intro to Data Analysis eBook .

The Only Words Should be “Thought Starters”

As a general presentation principle, you should not write many thoughts down on presentation slides. Words have two negative impacts on the audience: they demand energy from the reader, and they make the reader feel compelled to read, lest they misunderstand.

If you can avoid putting text blocks altogether, do. If you don’t need any writing at all, don’t. However, if you need guidance as you speak or want to provide reminders for a later data, use “Thought Starters.”

Thought starters are phrases of 3 words maximum that contain ideas leading to the essential message. People often call them “bullet points,” which is common for list-style thought starters. Personally, I prefer to place thought starters at different places on a slide. When I use a chart, for example, I put thought starters at relevant places on the slide.

Keep it Short

Your presentation should never consume more than 80% of the allotted timeframe. This means that if you plan a 5 minutes meeting, deliver the presentation in 4 minutes. If you’re given 30 minutes, do it in 25 minutes. If you have 1 hour, do it in 45 minutes.

By keeping the presentation short, you relieve the audience and you allow for some question buffer. Have you ever sat in a meeting planned for 1 hour, and at 45m it ends early? It’s a pleasure for everyone. Most of us feel like we’re running behind — when you put us ahead of schedule, we love you!

At the same time, senior executives may bombard you with questions throughout the presentation. If you planned to fill the whole timeframe, you won’t finish. But if you planned to finish early, you still have a chance.

And if you use the rest of these best practices and techniques, those senior executives shouldn’t need to ask too many questions!

Practice 7 Times in Advance

There’s a mix of opinions on the number of times you should rehearse a presentation before doing it live, but most people agree that it’s somewhere between 5 and 10 times. If you take nothing else from this article, take this. To deliver a good presentation, prepare excellent slides; to deliver a great presentation, practice presenting them 7 times.

To deliver a good presentation, prepare excellent slides; to deliver a great presentation, practice presenting them 7 times. AnalystAnswers.com

But just practicing isn’t enough, there are a few criteria you must meet:

• Practice in the room you will present in. There’s something about envisioning yourself live that really makes a difference. When you practice in a space other that where you’ll present, it’s good. But when you practice in the “live” room, you’re able to sensitize yourself to the environment, which calms nerves so you can focus on the message.
• Have an audience. We all behave differently when there’s stimulus of other people around. Whenever possible, get one or two people to whom you can present. In addition to getting used to having an audience, you’ll also get some feedback.
• Use the same volume of voice. When we’re not “live,” we have a tendency to hold back on our voice. This is detrimental to the presentation because you feel taken off guard by your own voice. Make sure to envision yourself in front of the senior execs when you practice.

Best Practices Recap

We’ve addressed 5 best practices — now let’s turn our attention to 4 specific techniques you can easily implement. And when you do, that work wonders for management presenting.

Use a CSP Model (Challenge, Solution, Progress)

Every presentation needs structure, but it’s easy to forget that we need to guide our audience. A great way to structure management reports is using the CSP model. CSP stands for Challenge, Solution, Progress, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.

You need to explain the challenge or goal, explain what the solution to the challenge is (or how to achieve the goal), and show where you are in the steps to completing that goal.

For example, let’s look at our Batch Watch case. Imagine you need to find funding for a new product launch — $100,000 to be exact. A sample CSP model for this would be a slide that shows:

By using the CSP model, you guide the audience. However, it’s important to note that the CSP model is not a summary . It’s an overview of the process, but a summary should always come before. Let’s talk about it now.

Begin with a Summary of Exactly 3 Points

Any good presentation begins with a summary. And a good summary communicates the essential message simply in 3 points. However, the summary is not the same thing as the CSP model. Instead, it provides an alternative view on the challenge and and solution.

For example, using our Batch Watch case of funding a new product, you could address a summary in the following way:

• Challenge, Solution, Progress
• Funding acquisition
• Project Timeline

This provides additional details that are most relevant to the project and carry added value to the CSP model.

Use only Bar Charts (aka Column Charts), Line Graphs, and Scatter Plots

Whether it’s for data, financial, and business analyst topics , management presentations should only ever have bar charts, line graphs, and scatter plots. They are common, rich in information, and well understood. Any other kind of graph is distracting more than anything else.

A bar graph is useful when you want to compare like variables. For example, if you want to show the average size of Canadian trout versus American trout. A common mistake, though, is to use bar graphs to show change over time. While it’s not incorrect to do so, line graphs are better for this purpose.

A line graph is useful when you want to show change in one variable over time (we call this time series data). For example, if you want to show the progression of revenues over time, line graphs are the perfect way to do so.

A scatter plot is best when you want to compare a set of observations of one variable to a set of observations of another. It’s the ideal way to quickly visualize the relationship between two variables. For example, if you want to see how company revenues compare to GDP, you could use a scatter plot like this:

For example, let’s look at our Batch Watch case. If we want to see how our company is performing compared to the economy as a whole, we could use this scatter plot. As you can see, we have a positive (bottom left to top right) relationship, but a weak one (points not clustered closely).

Design Slides Using the Company Logo

When you’re presenting to senior executives, you want your slides to look professional. The best way to do that is by putting your company logo on them, including any corporate design standards (colors, fonts, etc). Show through your presentation that you belong to the same company, and that you’re in it in spirit. For example, let’s add the AnalystAnswers.com logo to our CSP slide:

Techniques Recap

Here’s a sample management presentation template below. I hope you understand after reading this article that management presentation is more about your delivery than it is about the slides you prepare.

While the techniques we’ve discussed will help you build a good presentation, your success really depends on how well you deliver the ideas needed to help senior executives make decisions. At the end of the day, it’s all about balance.

If you only remember two things from this article, remember that great management presenters give enough detail to inform senior executive but not too much that they cause confusion, and great management presenters make sure they do so by practicing 7 times in advance. You’ll have to practice, practice, practice.

Introducing Your Team in Company Presentations: 4 Great Ideas!

You’ve probably already had to introduce your team within a company presentation: in 2023, this is no longer a rarity. Presentations which require you to talk about your company structure, or onboardings, for example, are going to need a team introduction, and knowing how to clearly visualize your team is a useful skill.

Why introduce your team in a presentation?

Introducing your team is a great way to positively influence public perception and to present the strengths and achievements of your company .

Products are rarely developed by individuals working on their own, so companies should never miss an opportunity to showcase the teams responsible for tomorrow’s innovations. This tends to increase stakeholder confidence and generate interest.

Involving your team in your presentations is essential to highlighting both the competence of your employees and your skills as a leader . At the same time, you double down on the authenticity of your presentation and acknowledge your colleagues’ performance, which in turn boosts their self-esteem. The positive impact of even a single slide in a presentation should not be underestimated!

Team introductions are brilliant for onboarding , where you can clearly and transparently visualize your company hierarchy.

Why not browse the PowerPoint templates for onboarding that we at PresentationLoad have put together for you?

Bonus tip: Paste images faster with the Scan&Paste app

Pictures generate feelings. This applies to team introductions as well as more generally. If people can see what a particular employee looks like, they’re more likely to want to build connections than if they’re just described in words.

To help you quickly and easily insert images of your team into your presentations, a great tip is to use the Scan&Paste app . This app allows you to upload images directly from your smartphone gallery through a PowerPoint add-in. We’ve covered this for you in our blog post “ Scan&Paste-App “.

4 great ideas to optimize your PowerPoint team presentation!

You want the team introduction in your company presentation to be memorable, right? Here are four great ideas to achieve just that!

• Use an organizational chart

One way to visualize your team structures is to use an organizational chart, or org chart. Their visual clarity and simplicity make them ideal for showing how teams work.

Org charts show at a glance how a team fits together and how different employees relate to each other. They might not be the most exciting things in the world, but they are really effective . Keep your org chart as simple as possible, though; overloading it will be counterproductive.

Use high-quality pictures of your employees. Your main focus should be on clarity: choose a clear, clean design, make sure people’s names are legible, and avoid unnecessary lines and cross-connections. We’ve covered how to create an org chart quickly and easily yourself in our article “ Creating an organizational chart “.

Why not use PresentationLoad’s organizational charts template to introduce your team?

• Rounded Photos

You can also introduce your team in the classic way, using text to cover the most important key points , and adding visual interest in a modern and stylish way by using rounded pictures .

PresentationLoad have got this covered too! You can find them here .

Including a team introduction in your presentation

There are several ways of introducing your team – here are a few of the best:

Idea #1: Team Slide

The simplest way to introduce your team is by means of a team slide . This should show high-quality images of your team, either individually or in a group photo.

Keep text to an absolute minimum here.  Anything more than the names of your employees can be distracting.  You can go into greater detail in your narration.

The advantage of a team slide is that you can clearly show all the important people on one slide.

A team slide might look something like this:

The disadvantage of such a simple slide is that it shows little in the way of a team structure. If you need to show this, go with idea #2.

Idea #2: Team Structure

A team structure slide obviously shows how your team is structured, meaning it’s clear who works for whom and how responsibilities are divided up.  They are perfect for onboarding, for example, allowing new employees to easily recognize internal structures and contact persons.

Keep in mind that team structures are not necessary for every presentation; team slides can quickly become confusing if there are too many connections. So keep them as clear as possible.

A team structure slide might look something like this:

Idea #3: Individual Slides

In some cases it may be useful to introduce your team individually . In this case, you can get all the important information on one slide per person. You’ll need to include a picture and the person’s function within the company as well as their name, and there may also be room for contact details or a short CV . Here’s an example:

Idea #4: Quote slide

A slightly different take on this is the quote slide .  Quotes can be another way to introduce your team’s thinking. Let your employees have their say by including core ideas and statements in your presentation in the form of quotes.

This highlights how important your team is, and emphasizes their individuality and competence. Quotes also help to make your presentation more interesting, which means you get to grab and keep your audience’s attention.

Bonus tip: Pay attention to layout in team introductions

When creating your team presentation, don’t forget that your slides need to be visually interesting . Use a clear structure and don’t overcrowd the slides; aim for a good balance of images and text .

We have a lot of useful tips in this respect in our article “PowerPoint Layout”. For example, a picture-text combination slide might come in really handy here. Grids of three or four usefully combine pictures of your team members with just enough text to give the important information:

To sum up: Project your team image effectively in presentations

A team introduction is a great way to introduce your company and its structures within a presentation. Depending on what you need, you can keep it short and introduce your team on one team slide, or go for more detail and use several slides.

Use our tips the next time you need to introduce your business and colleagues, and see how effective they are!

5+ Best Slides for Team Introduction in a PowerPoint Presentation

Last updated on January 8th, 2024

Are you making a pitch deck or applying for a project? Have you considered adding a slide to introduce your team? Your team is not only a part of your company but also your final product or project outcome! Their skills and experience reflect the arsenal you possess for delivering the outcome you are pitching to an audience. This is why you must spend some time introducing your team as a part of your pitch.

What is a Team Introduction Slide?

A team introduction slide introduces a team before the audience. Team introduction slides are used by organizations to provide the audience an overview of the skills and expertise of their team members. This can be helpful during pitch decks, when bidding for projects, introducing a company before an audience, etc. The reason for introducing your team during a presentation is to showcase the capability of your organization. Since your team is truly the quality of outcome you can provide to your clients.

Why Should You Introduce Your Team?

To introduce your organization.

One of the basic reasons for adding a company profile in your presentation is to discuss your organization during an introductory session. Regardless of whether you are presenting a presentation before potential clients, a bunch of students at a college event, or industry experts, introducing your team is a part of introducing your organization before the audience.

To Pitch Your Organization for a Contract or Investment

A team introduction slide is like showcasing a part of your portfolio or company profile. Many professionally designed PowerPoint templates provide such a sample intro slide by default, as this can be a key part of an important presentation where you are trying to pitch your organization as the best candidate to acquire a contract or attract investment. Another reason for providing such a slide can be to create a positive organizational image by showing off how good your team is and why they are the best team to get the job done.

To Prove Your Team can Deliver Desired Results

You don’t necessarily need to have a very experienced team to make a case for your organization to be good at your job. Even startups with an experienced, yet qualified team can emphasize how young, innovative, and academically qualified the team is. Similarly, a team with a vast experience in the industry can be a good selling point for your services.

To Create a Positive Image

Many businesses take pride in their teams and try to use their capabilities as a highlight to build a positive image for their business. For example, a startup might want to emphasize that their team contains people who have worked for other reputable organizations in the past and have the requisite experience to propel their company forward. This type of image building can be good for attracting potential clients and to get recognized in the industry.

Key Elements of a Team Introduction Slide

A team introduction slide can contain basic information about your team. Some of the key elements that your slide should have are mentioned below.

Inclusion of Key Members

The most basic team introduction slides contain a name and designation for each of the key team members highlighted in the slide. This might include the organizational head, vice president, director, project manager, etc. Since medium-sized or large organizations can have a lor of employees, you don’t need to include everyone in your team introduction slide. Usually, you can include the top tier and the most qualified individuals. If you are creating a pitch deck, you might want to focus on your core team, along with a few senior officials in the slide.

Professional Summary

While it can be hard to cram in a professional summary for each individual, especially if you have more than 5 people listed in your intro slide, a few words to highlight the qualifications of each individual can be quite useful. For the purpose of brevity, you can add the names and designations of your employees, along with their key qualifications below their names to show what expertise they possess.

A Face to the Name

While some people might prefer not to add pictures for their team, this can be a useful addition to a team introduction slide, since adding a face to a name can make the team look more realistic and can also have a positive impact on your presentation.

Examples of Slides for Team Introduction

We have compiled a list of slides that can help you create a team introduction for your next presentation. The below-mentioned PowerPoint templates not only serve as an example for making team introduction slides but can also help you create comprehensive pitch decks, and other types of presentations meant to highlight your organization.

The template also provides an organizational chart with some team members highlighted.

2. Team PowerPoint Infographic Layout

The Team Infographic PowerPoint Layout is a slide to introduce your team which is a part of a PowerPoint template with comprehensive slides for making business presentations. This slide provides a basic collage-like layout for presenting your team with a name, designation, and a picture for each team member. The default layout allows introducing up to five team members, with scope for duplicating the placeholders to add more individuals. You can also add additional placeholders to add a description for each team member.

3. Multi-Purpose Business PowerPoint Template with Slide for Team Introduction

You can pick and choose the slides relevant to your presentation topic and make something that is easy to create and present with simple, flat design layouts.

5. Free Team Building PowerPoint Template

The Free Team Building PowerPoint Template is a minimalist team-oriented template with a title slide and a few basic slides to help you create slides about your team. the lively title slide depicts a team holding speech bubbles and a placeholder for a title. This is followed by slides with default layouts for making lists, comparisons, and other types of slides.

Final Words

Introducing your team in a slide is as important as other aspects of your business. Showing that you have a reliable team can help you build a positive image for your company and brand, as well as enable you to create a convincing pitch deck. Introducing your team also shows that your organization values and trusts its team members to reach desired goals.

How to make a presentation to new staff in 10 steps

Here you’ll learn how to make a presentation to new staff in a memorable way.

Starting a new job is daunting, and often you just want to start.

Before that there’s the induction, and the dreaded Powerpoint.

Here’s how to make a presentation memorable and fresh.

So new starts remember you as the one that made them feel a part of the organisation.

Simply by working on your presentation skills .

1. Make people feel excited

This is their first week in the job.

They’re forming impressions of the company that will last a long time.

So your job is to be the company ambassador.

Be enthusiastic.

Remove any self-deprecating humour.

Saying something like this  is energy-sapping:

“I’ve been tasked with giving you the induction”

Whereas this is energising:

“Welcome – congratulations on your appointment and I’m delighted to give you an in-depth tour of the business…”

Start as you mean to go on.

2. Tailor your presentation

As a presenter, the company PowerPoint gives us false confidence.

It’s been approved at a senior level and it covers all the bases.

Yet here’s the thing: it’s already out-of-date, and most of it’s irrelevant.

Create a fresh presentation for the individual or group.

They’ll appreciate the work you’ve put in.

3. Ditch the Powerpoint

People make an impression on the presenter very quickly.

If you turn to your slides and away from the audience early on, it can erode trust.

Instead, ditch the PowerPoint, at least for the first few minutes, and speak to people front-on.

Here’s more on how to make an engaging presentation .

4. Start with what’s in it for me

Consider why the person joined in the first place.

If it’s a Senior Manager, it could be the chance to have their own team.

If it’s a technical role, it may be to work with the best systems.

And if it’s a people-facing role, it’s to make a difference.

A sales role: to make money.

A group of interns: to get a permanent job.

Stick that in at the beginning and connect their success in achieving that goal to your presentation.

“I’m sure what you really want to know is…

How do I become the company’s first millionaire under 30?

When will I be able to appoint my own team?

When will I be handed budgetary control?”

Now you have their attention – and you can answer that question first.

5. Make the audience feel special

Consider how that person’s job impact the organisation.

This is your chance to create a lifelong motivation in your new colleagues.

If they understand their role in the success of the organisation, they’re far more likely to feel appreciated in the long-term.

That builds loyalty and saves time and money in recruitment.

6. Prioritise your points

When people consider how to make a presentation, they rarely consider audience priorities.

Tailor the rest of the presentation according to the most important information to the audience.

While you need to cover the induction plan, the IT requirement and the health and safety admin, leave them until the end.

Your new recruits are far more interested in other things.

So go there next.

Now you’ll have a list of priorities that reads from 1-10.

And trust me, health and safety is number 10.

7. Unclutter the language

It’s very easy to create a presentation full of jargon.

But great presentations are full of clarity.

They turn ‘BIMs and BDIMs and BRIMs’ into “the people you’ll be working with”.

They turn ‘adherence with our Health and Safety policy’ into ‘making sure you stay safe’.

Jargon often emerges in induction presentations when the presenter attempts to establish their authority and credibility.

Just remember: this presentation is about the group, rather than you.

8. Stay positive and focused

It’s easy to ramble in a tailored presentation, because you’re giving it for the first time.

Stay on track by creating clear structural notes.

Avoid phrases such as “that’s not really relevant to your role”.

If you’ve done the prioritising first, everything will be relevant.

9. Answer questions

I’ve seen plenty of presentations that finish with the last slide, before the presenter thanks the audience and leaves the room.

Regardless of how good your presentation is, the audience will still have questions.

In fact, the better it is, the more questions they should be willing to ask.

So stay around for 15-20 minutes afterwards. That helps build trust.

10. Show vulnerability

This is the first week, and you’d forgive members of the team for feeling shy or awkward.

So bring your barriers down.

Tell a story about something that went wrong in your induction, or later in your career, and how it was fixed.

Or the best moment you’ve had in your career.

Making it personal brings your presentation to life.

• Inspiration

23 presentation examples that really work (plus templates!)

• 30 Mar 2023

To help you in your quest for presentation greatness, we’ve gathered 23 of the best business presentation examples out there. These hand-picked ideas range from business PowerPoint presentations, to recruitment presentations, and everything in between.

As a bonus, several of our examples include editable video presentation templates from  Biteable .

Biteable allows anyone to create great video presentations — no previous video-making skills required. The easy-to-use platform has hundreds of brandable templates and video scenes designed with a business audience in mind. A video made with Biteable is just what you need to add that wow factor and make an impact on your audience.

Create videos that drive action

Activate your audience with impactful, on-brand videos. Create them simply and collaboratively with Biteable.

Video presentation examples

Video presentations are our specialty at Biteable. We love them because they’re the most visually appealing and memorable way to communicate.

1. Animated characters

Our first presentation example is a business explainer video from Biteable that uses animated characters. The friendly and modern style makes this the perfect presentation for engaging your audience.

Bonus template:  Need a business video presentation that reflects the beautiful diversity of your customers or team? Use  Biteable’s workplace scenes . You can change the skin tone and hair color for any of the animated characters.

2. Conference video

Videos are also ideal solutions for events (e.g. trade shows) where they can be looped to play constantly while you attend to more important things like talking to people and handing out free cheese samples.

For this event presentation sample below, we used bright colours, stock footage, and messaging that reflects the brand and values of the company. All these elements work together to draw the attention of passers-by.

For a huge selection of video presentation templates, take a look at our  template gallery .

Business PowerPoint presentation examples

Striking fear into the hearts of the workplace since 1987, PowerPoint is synonymous with bland, boring presentations that feel more like an endurance test than a learning opportunity. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Check out these anything-but-boring business PowerPoint presentation examples.

3. Design pointers

This PowerPoint presentation takes a tongue-in-cheek look at how the speakers and users of PowerPoint are the problem, not the software itself.

Even at a hefty 61 slides, the vintage theme, appealing colors, and engaging content keep the viewer interested. It delivers useful and actionable tips on creating a better experience for your audience.

Pixar, as you’d expect, redefines the meaning of PowerPoint in their “22 Rules for Phenomenal Storytelling”. The character silhouettes are instantly recognizable and tie firmly to the Pixar brand. The bright colour palettes are carefully chosen to highlight the content of each slide.

This presentation is a good length, delivering one message per slide, making it easy for an audience to take notes and retain the information.

Google slides examples

If you’re in business, chances are you’ll have come across  slide decks . Much like a deck of cards, each slide plays a key part in the overall ‘deck’, creating a well-rounded presentation.

If you need to inform your team, present findings, or outline a new strategy, slides are one of the most effective ways to do this.

Google Slides is one of the best ways to create a slide deck right now. It’s easy to use and has built-in design tools that integrate with Adobe, Lucidchart, and more. The best part — it’s free!

5. Teacher education

Here’s a slide deck that was created to educate teachers on how to use Google Slides effectively in a classroom. At first glance it seems stuffy and businessy, but if you look closer it’s apparent the creator knows his audience well, throwing in some teacher-friendly content that’s bound to get a smile.

The slides give walkthrough screenshots and practical advice on the different ways teachers can use the software to make their lives that little bit easier and educate their students at the same time.

6. Charity awareness raiser

This next Google slide deck is designed to raise awareness for an animal shelter. It has simple, clear messaging, and makes use of the furry friends it rescues to tug on heartstrings and encourage donations and adoptions from its audience.

Pro tip: Creating a presentation is exciting but also a little daunting. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed — especially if the success of your business or nonprofit depends on it.

Prezi presentation examples

If you haven’t come across  Prezi , it’s a great alternative to using static slides. Sitting somewhere between slides and a video presentation, it allows you to import other content and add motion to create a more engaging viewer experience.

7. Red Bull event recap

This Prezi was created to document the Red Bull stratosphere freefall stunt a few years ago. It neatly captures all the things that Prezi is capable of, including video inserts and the zoom effect, which gives an animated, almost 3D effect to what would otherwise be still images.  

Prezi has annual awards for the best examples of presentations over the year. This next example is one of the 2018 winners. It was made to highlight a new Logitech tool.

8. Logitech Spotlight launch

What stands out here are the juicy colors, bold imagery, and the way the designer has used Prezi to its full extent, including rotations, panning, fades, and a full zoom out to finish the presentation.

Sales presentation examples

If you’re stuck for ideas for your sales presentation, step right this way and check out this video template we made for you.

9. Sales enablement video presentation

In today’s fast-paced sales environment, you need a way to make your sales enablement presentations memorable and engaging for busy reps.  Sales enablement videos  are just the ticket. Use this video presentation template the next time you need to present on your metrics.

10. Zuroa sales deck

If you’re after a sales deck, you can’t go past this example from Zuora. What makes it great? It begins by introducing the worldwide shift in the way consumers are shopping. It’s a global phenomenon, and something we can all relate to.

It then weaves a compelling story about how the subscription model is changing the face of daily life for everyone. Metrics and testimonials from well-known CEOs and executives are included for some slamming social proof to boost the sales message.

Pitch presentation examples

Pitch decks are used to give an overview of business plans, and are usually presented during meetings with customers, investors, or potential partners.

11. Uber pitch deck

This is Uber’s original pitch deck, which (apart from looking a teensy bit dated) gives an excellent overview of their business model and clearly shows how they intended to disrupt a traditional industry and provide a better service to people. Right now, you’re probably very grateful that this pitch presentation was a winner.

You can make your own pitch deck with Biteable, or start with one of our  video templates  to make something a little more memorable.

12. Video pitch template

This video pitch presentation clearly speaks to the pains of everyone who needs to commute and find parking. It then provides the solution with its app that makes parking a breeze.

The video also introduces the key team members, their business strategy, and what they’re hoping to raise in funding. It’s a simple, clear pitch that positions the company as a key solution to a growing, worldwide problem. It’s compelling and convincing, as a good presentation should be.

13. Fyre Festival pitch deck

The most epic example of a recent pitch deck is this one for Fyre Festival – the greatest event that never happened. Marvel at its persuasion, gasp at the opportunity of being part of the cultural experience of the decade, cringe as everything goes from bad to worse.

Despite the very public outcome, this is a masterclass in how to create hype and get funding with your pitch deck using beautiful imagery, beautiful people, and beautiful promises of riches and fame.

Business presentation examples

Need to get the right message out to the right people? Business presentations can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

Simply press play and let your video do the talking. No fumbling your words and sweating buckets in front of those potential clients, just you being cool as a cucumber while your presentation does the talking.

Check out two of our popular templates that you can use as a starting point for your own presentations. While they’re business-minded, they’re definitely not boring.

14. Business intro template

Modern graphics, animations, and upbeat soundtracks keep your prospects engaged as they learn about your business, your team, your values, and how you can help them.

15. Business explainer template

Research presentation examples.

When you’re giving a more technical presentation such as research findings, you need to strike the perfect balance between informing your audience and making sure they stay awake.

As a rule, slides are more effective for research presentations, as they are used to support the speaker’s knowledge rather can capture every small detail on screen.

With often dry, complex, and technical subject matter, there can be a temptation for presentations to follow suit. Use images instead of walls of text, and keep things as easy to follow as possible.

16. TrackMaven research deck

TrackMaven uses their endearing mascot to lighten up this data-heavy slide deck. The graphs help to bring life to their findings, and they ensure to only have one bite-size takeaway per slide so that viewers can easily take notes.

17. Wearable tech research report

Obviously, research can get very researchy and there’s not a lot to be done about it. This slide deck below lays out a ton of in-depth information but breaks it up well with quotes, diagrams, and interesting facts to keep viewers engaged while it delivers its findings on wearable technology.

Team presentation examples

Motivating your team can be a challenge at the best of times, especially when you need to gather them together for….another presentation!

18. Team update template

We created this presentation template as an example of how to engage your team. In this case, it’s for an internal product launch. Using colorful animation and engaging pacing, this video presentation is much better than a static PowerPoint, right?

19. Officevibe collaboration explainer

This short slide deck is a presentation designed to increase awareness of the problems of a disengaged team. Bright colors and relevant images combine with facts and figures that compel viewers to click through to a download to learn more about helping their teams succeed.

Recruitment presentation examples

Recruiting the right people can be a challenge. Presentations can help display your team and your business by painting a dynamic picture of what it’s like to work with you.

Videos and animated slides let you capture the essence of your brand and workplace so the right employees can find you.

20. Company culture explainer

If you’re a recruitment agency, your challenge is to stand out from the hundreds of other agencies in the marketplace.

21. Kaizen culture

Showcasing your agency using a slide deck can give employers and employees a feel for doing business with you. Kaizen clearly displays its credentials and highlights its brand values and personality here (and also its appreciation of the coffee bean).

Explainer presentation examples

Got some explaining to do? Using an explainer video is the ideal way to showcase products that are technical, digital, or otherwise too difficult to explain with still images and text.

Explainer videos help you present the features and values of your product in an engaging way that speaks to your ideal audience and promotes your brand at the same time.

22. Product explainer template

23. lucidchart explainer.

Lucidchart does a stellar job of using explainer videos for their software. Their series of explainers-within-explainers entertains the viewer with cute imagery and an endearing brand voice. At the same time, the video is educating its audience on how to use the actual product. We (almost) guarantee you’ll have more love for spiders after watching this one.

How to Structure your Presentation, with Examples

August 3, 2018 - Dom Barnard

For many people the thought of delivering a presentation is a daunting task and brings about a  great deal of nerves . However, if you take some time to understand how effective presentations are structured and then apply this structure to your own presentation, you’ll appear much more confident and relaxed.

Here is our complete guide for structuring your presentation, with examples at the end of the article to demonstrate these points.

Why is structuring a presentation so important?

If you’ve ever sat through a great presentation, you’ll have left feeling either inspired or informed on a given topic. This isn’t because the speaker was the most knowledgeable or motivating person in the world. Instead, it’s because they know how to structure presentations – they have crafted their message in a logical and simple way that has allowed the audience can keep up with them and take away key messages.

Research has supported this, with studies showing that audiences retain structured information  40% more accurately  than unstructured information.

In fact, not only is structuring a presentation important for the benefit of the audience’s understanding, it’s also important for you as the speaker. A good structure helps you remain calm, stay on topic, and avoid any awkward silences.

What will affect your presentation structure?

Generally speaking, there is a natural flow that any decent presentation will follow which we will go into shortly. However, you should be aware that all presentation structures will be different in their own unique way and this will be due to a number of factors, including:

• Whether you need to deliver any demonstrations
• How  knowledgeable the audience  already is on the given subject
• How much interaction you want from the audience
• Any time constraints there are for your talk
• What setting you are in
• Your ability to use any kinds of visual assistance

Before choosing the presentation’s structure answer these questions first:

• What is your presentation’s aim?
• Who are the audience?
• What are the main points your audience should remember afterwards?

When reading the points below, think critically about what things may cause your presentation structure to be slightly different. You can add in certain elements and add more focus to certain moments if that works better for your speech.

What is the typical presentation structure?

This is the usual flow of a presentation, which covers all the vital sections and is a good starting point for yours. It allows your audience to easily follow along and sets out a solid structure you can add your content to.

1. Greet the audience and introduce yourself

Before you start delivering your talk, introduce yourself to the audience and clarify who you are and your relevant expertise. This does not need to be long or incredibly detailed, but will help build an immediate relationship between you and the audience. It gives you the chance to briefly clarify your expertise and why you are worth listening to. This will help establish your ethos so the audience will trust you more and think you’re credible.

2. Introduction

In the introduction you need to explain the subject and purpose of your presentation whilst gaining the audience’s interest and confidence. It’s sometimes helpful to think of your introduction as funnel-shaped to help filter down your topic:

• Introduce your general topic
• Explain your topic area
• State the issues/challenges in this area you will be exploring
• State your presentation’s purpose – this is the basis of your presentation so ensure that you provide a statement explaining how the topic will be treated, for example, “I will argue that…” or maybe you will “compare”, “analyse”, “evaluate”, “describe” etc.
• Provide a statement of what you’re hoping the outcome of the presentation will be, for example, “I’m hoping this will be provide you with…”
• Show a preview of the organisation of your presentation

In this section also explain:

• The length of the talk.
• Signal whether you want audience interaction – some presenters prefer the audience to ask questions throughout whereas others allocate a specific section for this.
• If it applies, inform the audience whether to take notes or whether you will be providing handouts.

The way you structure your introduction can depend on the amount of time you have been given to present: a  sales pitch  may consist of a quick presentation so you may begin with your conclusion and then provide the evidence. Conversely, a speaker presenting their idea for change in the world would be better suited to start with the evidence and then conclude what this means for the audience.

Keep in mind that the main aim of the introduction is to grab the audience’s attention and connect with them.

3. The main body of your talk

The main body of your talk needs to meet the promises you made in the introduction. Depending on the nature of your presentation, clearly segment the different topics you will be discussing, and then work your way through them one at a time – it’s important for everything to be organised logically for the audience to fully understand. There are many different ways to organise your main points, such as, by priority, theme, chronologically etc.

• Main points should be addressed one by one with supporting evidence and examples.
• Before moving on to the next point you should provide a mini-summary.
• Links should be clearly stated between ideas and you must make it clear when you’re moving onto the next point.
• Allow time for people to take relevant notes and stick to the topics you have prepared beforehand rather than straying too far off topic.

When planning your presentation write a list of main points you want to make and ask yourself “What I am telling the audience? What should they understand from this?” refining your answers this way will help you produce clear messages.

4. Conclusion

In presentations the conclusion is frequently underdeveloped and lacks purpose which is a shame as it’s the best place to reinforce your messages. Typically, your presentation has a specific goal – that could be to convert a number of the audience members into customers, lead to a certain number of enquiries to make people knowledgeable on specific key points, or to motivate them towards a shared goal.

Regardless of what that goal is, be sure to summarise your main points and their implications. This clarifies the overall purpose of your talk and reinforces your reason for being there.

Follow these steps:

• Signal that it’s nearly the end of your presentation, for example, “As we wrap up/as we wind down the talk…”
• Restate the topic and purpose of your presentation – “In this speech I wanted to compare…”
• Summarise the main points, including their implications and conclusions
• Indicate what is next/a call to action/a thought-provoking takeaway
• Move on to the last section

5. Thank the audience and invite questions

Conclude your talk by thanking the audience for their time and invite them to  ask any questions  they may have. As mentioned earlier, personal circumstances will affect the structure of your presentation.

Many presenters prefer to make the Q&A session the key part of their talk and try to speed through the main body of the presentation. This is totally fine, but it is still best to focus on delivering some sort of initial presentation to set the tone and topics for discussion in the Q&A.

Other common presentation structures

The above was a description of a basic presentation, here are some more specific presentation layouts:

Demonstration

Use the demonstration structure when you have something useful to show. This is usually used when you want to show how a product works. Steve Jobs frequently used this technique in his presentations.

• Explain why the product is valuable.
• Describe why the product is necessary.
• Explain what problems it can solve for the audience.
• Demonstrate the product  to support what you’ve been saying.
• Make suggestions of other things it can do to make the audience curious.

Problem-solution

This structure is particularly useful in persuading the audience.

• Briefly frame the issue.
• Go into the issue in detail showing why it ‘s such a problem. Use logos and pathos for this – the logical and emotional appeals.
• Provide the solution and explain why this would also help the audience.
• Call to action – something you want the audience to do which is straightforward and pertinent to the solution.

Storytelling

As well as incorporating  stories in your presentation , you can organise your whole presentation as a story. There are lots of different type of story structures you can use – a popular choice is the monomyth – the hero’s journey. In a monomyth, a hero goes on a difficult journey or takes on a challenge – they move from the familiar into the unknown. After facing obstacles and ultimately succeeding the hero returns home, transformed and with newfound wisdom.

Storytelling for Business Success  webinar , where well-know storyteller Javier Bernad shares strategies for crafting compelling narratives.

Another popular choice for using a story to structure your presentation is in media ras (in the middle of thing). In this type of story you launch right into the action by providing a snippet/teaser of what’s happening and then you start explaining the events that led to that event. This is engaging because you’re starting your story at the most exciting part which will make the audience curious – they’ll want to know how you got there.

• Great storytelling: Examples from Alibaba Founder, Jack Ma

Remaining method

The remaining method structure is good for situations where you’re presenting your perspective on a controversial topic which has split people’s opinions.

• Go into the issue in detail showing why it’s such a problem – use logos and pathos.
• Rebut your opponents’ solutions  – explain why their solutions could be useful because the audience will see this as fair and will therefore think you’re trustworthy, and then explain why you think these solutions are not valid.
• After you’ve presented all the alternatives provide your solution, the remaining solution. This is very persuasive because it looks like the winning idea, especially with the audience believing that you’re fair and trustworthy.

Transitions

When delivering presentations it’s important for your words and ideas to flow so your audience can understand how everything links together and why it’s all relevant. This can be done  using speech transitions  which are words and phrases that allow you to smoothly move from one point to another so that your speech flows and your presentation is unified.

Transitions can be one word, a phrase or a full sentence – there are many different forms, here are some examples:

Moving from the introduction to the first point

Signify to the audience that you will now begin discussing the first main point:

• Now that you’re aware of the overview, let’s begin with…
• First, let’s begin with…
• I will first cover…
• My first point covers…
• To get started, let’s look at…

Shifting between similar points

Move from one point to a similar one:

• In the same way…
• Likewise…
• Equally…
• This is similar to…
• Similarly…

Internal summaries

Internal summarising consists of summarising before moving on to the next point. You must inform the audience:

• What part of the presentation you covered – “In the first part of this speech we’ve covered…”
• What the key points were – “Precisely how…”
• How this links in with the overall presentation – “So that’s the context…”
• What you’re moving on to – “Now I’d like to move on to the second part of presentation which looks at…”

Physical movement

You can move your body and your standing location when you transition to another point. The audience find it easier to follow your presentation and movement will increase their interest.

A common technique for incorporating movement into your presentation is to:

• Start your introduction by standing in the centre of the stage.
• For your first point you stand on the left side of the stage.
• You discuss your second point from the centre again.
• You stand on the right side of the stage for your third point.
• The conclusion occurs in the centre.

Key slides for your presentation

Slides are a useful tool for most presentations: they can greatly assist in the delivery of your message and help the audience follow along with what you are saying. Key slides include:

• An intro slide outlining your ideas
• A  summary slide  with core points to remember
• High quality image slides to supplement what you are saying

There are some presenters who choose not to use slides at all, though this is more of a rarity. Slides can be a powerful tool if used properly, but the problem is that many fail to do just that. Here are some golden rules to follow when using slides in a presentation:

• Don’t over fill them  – your slides are there to assist your speech, rather than be the focal point. They should have as little information as possible, to avoid distracting people from your talk.
• A picture says a thousand words  – instead of filling a slide with text, instead, focus on one or two images or diagrams to help support and explain the point you are discussing at that time.
• Make them readable  – depending on the size of your audience, some may not be able to see small text or images, so make everything large enough to fill the space.
• Don’t rush through slides  – give the audience enough time to digest each slide.

Guy Kawasaki, an entrepreneur and author, suggests that slideshows should follow a  10-20-30 rule :

• There should be a maximum of 10 slides – people rarely remember more than one concept afterwards so there’s no point overwhelming them with unnecessary information.
• The presentation should last no longer than 20 minutes as this will leave time for questions and discussion.
• The font size should be a minimum of 30pt because the audience reads faster than you talk so less information on the slides means that there is less chance of the audience being distracted.

Here are some additional resources for slide design:

• 7 design tips for effective, beautiful PowerPoint presentations
• 11 design tips for beautiful presentations
• 10 tips on how to make slides that communicate your idea

Group Presentations

Group presentations are structured in the same way as presentations with one speaker but usually require more rehearsal and practices.  Clean transitioning between speakers  is very important in producing a presentation that flows well. One way of doing this consists of:

• Briefly recap on what you covered in your section: “So that was a brief introduction on what health anxiety is and how it can affect somebody”
• Introduce the next speaker in the team and explain what they will discuss: “Now Elnaz will talk about the prevalence of health anxiety.”
• Then end by looking at the next speaker, gesturing towards them and saying their name: “Elnaz”.
• The next speaker should acknowledge this with a quick: “Thank you Joe.”

From this example you can see how the different sections of the presentations link which makes it easier for the audience to follow and remain engaged.

Example of great presentation structure and delivery

Having examples of great presentations will help inspire your own structures, here are a few such examples, each unique and inspiring in their own way.

How Google Works – by Eric Schmidt

This presentation by ex-Google CEO  Eric Schmidt  demonstrates some of the most important lessons he and his team have learnt with regards to working with some of the most talented individuals they hired. The simplistic yet cohesive style of all of the slides is something to be appreciated. They are relatively straightforward, yet add power and clarity to the narrative of the presentation.

Start with why – by Simon Sinek

Since being released in 2009, this presentation has been viewed almost four million times all around the world. The message itself is very powerful, however, it’s not an idea that hasn’t been heard before. What makes this presentation so powerful is the simple message he is getting across, and the straightforward and understandable manner in which he delivers it. Also note that he doesn’t use any slides, just a whiteboard where he creates a simple diagram of his opinion.

The Wisdom of a Third Grade Dropout – by Rick Rigsby

Here’s an example of a presentation given by a relatively unknown individual looking to inspire the next generation of graduates. Rick’s presentation is unique in many ways compared to the two above. Notably, he uses no visual prompts and includes a great deal of humour.

However, what is similar is the structure he uses. He first introduces his message that the wisest man he knew was a third-grade dropout. He then proceeds to deliver his main body of argument, and in the end, concludes with his message. This powerful speech keeps the viewer engaged throughout, through a mixture of heart-warming sentiment, powerful life advice and engaging humour.

As you can see from the examples above, and as it has been expressed throughout, a great presentation structure means analysing the core message of your presentation. Decide on a key message you want to impart the audience with, and then craft an engaging way of delivering it.

By preparing a solid structure, and  practising your talk  beforehand, you can walk into the presentation with confidence and deliver a meaningful message to an interested audience.

It’s important for a presentation to be well-structured so it can have the most impact on your audience. An unstructured presentation can be difficult to follow and even frustrating to listen to. The heart of your speech are your main points supported by evidence and your transitions should assist the movement between points and clarify how everything is linked.

Research suggests that the audience remember the first and last things you say so your introduction and conclusion are vital for reinforcing your points. Essentially, ensure you spend the time structuring your presentation and addressing all of the sections.

These slides would then be loaded into a slide projector and displayed on a screen. The collection of slides was referred to as a "deck," and the presenter would advance through them one by one. Today, the term "slide deck" is still used to refer to a collection of slides or presentation materials, even though most presentations are now created and displayed digitally.

Introduction and Closing Slides

These slides bookend your presentation. The introduction slide typically includes the title of your presentation, your name and any relevant introductory information. The closing slide summarizes key points, provides a conclusion and often includes contact information or a call to action.

Content Slides

Content slides make up the core of your presentation and contain the primary information you want to convey to your audience. They can include text, images, charts, graphs and other visual or textual elements supporting your presentation's message.

Transition Slides

Q. What are the 4 types of presentation?

Q. How do you make a 5-minute presentation interesting?

Creating an intriguing 5-minute presentation may be challenging due to the time constraint. Yet, you can deliver an impactful and engaging presentation with a focused approach and attention to detail.

Here are some of the ways to do it:

1. Focus on a single core message : Since you have limited time, choose a specific topic and stick to it. Present only the crucial information that will help the audience understand your point.

2. Engage from the start: Start your presentation with a compelling story, anecdote or a surprising fact. This will grab the audience's attention and spark curiosity.

3. Keep slides simple and visual: Avoid cluttered slides with too much text. Use visuals such as images, graphs or infographics to illustrate your points clearly and concisely.

4. Tell a story: A narrative structure engages the audience and helps them follow your message. Consider using metaphors or anecdotes to explain complex ideas.

5. Encourage questions or interaction: Since time is limited, you might opt for a brief Q&A session, ask a rhetorical question or request audience feedback for further discussion later.

6. Finish strong: Conclude with a powerful statement, call-to-action or takeaway summarizing your main point. Leave your audience with a lasting impression of your message.

Q. How many slides should a 20 minute presentation be?

The number of slides you should have for a 20-minute presentation can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the topic and the pace of your speech.

However, the general rule of thumb is to allocate at least 1-2 minutes per slide, which suggests 10-20 slides for a 20-minute presentation.

Q. What Is the 5 5 5 Rule for Presentation?

Presenting Company Roles & Structures with Modern Outline Graphics

• April 7, 2018
• Human Resources , Management , PowerPoint templates for download

If you want to illustrate management and department positions in your company in a professional way, then this blog gives you several examples of how you can do it.

We present a modern alternative to traditional box-and-line charts and default SmartArt diagrams.

Explore our Business Performance PPT Reports category on the website for more resources to boost your presentation impact.

Organizational charts are common visualization tool not only on HR-related meetings. Anytime you have a team cooperating on a project with other teams, or department to department communication, having a clear map of company structure makes it easier to plan the work. The org charts serve as a visual aid to see clearly who is responsible for a particular task or to whom you have to report.

However, in the case of larger institutions, the organization trees can get pretty complex and hard to understand. Therefore adding their pictogram symbols to represent main managerial functions and departments will help you create a presentation that is easier to grasp.

Here are a few examples of modern organizational charts, illustrated with neat company positions and role icons that people will enjoy looking at.

Get all icons and slides from the Company Roles and Department Structure Outline PPT Icons collection (see details by clicking the pictures).

A few common company structures and processes charts, which you may need to include in your slides are:

#1: company management structure chart.

The classical structural diagram, where hierarchy is clearly visible: from the board of directors, CEO to managers of particular departments, such as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Operations or Legal Officers. If your department has subdivisions, you can illustrate them as well using the same color – as we used here in the case of Product department and its Product Development and Production divisions.

Another example is the Chief Operational Officer that supervises three areas – IT, Administration and Human Resources operations. Or Legal department covers here Legal and Compliance issues, all marked as green circles.

#2: Presenting details with Department or Division Diagram

Here’s an example of creative department structure design, which at the same time looks professional thanks to using consistent colors and aligned graphical elements. You can easily reuse such charts in your PowerPoint presentation, just replace text, and icons and add or remove the sections.

#3: Senior Management Presentation Slide

A lot of corporate but also startup pitch presentations include this type of presentation slide. We propose you a stylish way how you can present your key management team: use pictures with color overlay + add icon representing each person position (notice outline icons of CEO, COO, CMO above)  + consistent color use, one for each column. The result is professionally looking presentation created quickly even without a graphic designer

#4: Product Development Schemes

Research and development play a huge part in every company’s activity. That’s why we designed several diagrams to make it easier for you to convey the ideas:

• general product development schema. Notice harmonic set of color and that each element is associated with an outlined icon: the bulb symbolizes the concept, document with a magnifying glass – research, paper plane – prototype, network pictogram – the process of development, tools – engineering and rocket – launch stage. You can include some notes as well: e.g. where improvements should be made and who is responsible for that.

• process details of product development, starting from the concept or ideas to the final launch step.

• particular stage details with a place for longer text notes. In the picture, you can see an example of the concept step slide. Even though there’s a big text box, the slide looks attractive from a design point of view.

So these were several examples of designing an organizational chart: presenting your company hierarchy from the board, CEO, and directors to specific department heads and subordinates; showing department diagram; presenting senior management and explaining product development flow.

For more inspiration, subscribe to our YouTube channel:

Resources: Company Roles and Department Structure Outline Icons

To make it faster and give a starting point for you, we designed a collection of organizational chart slides with outline icons. You can reuse the icons and diagrams within your presentation, they will help you to get rid of boring SmartArt 🙂

The collection includes:

• Organizational chart examples with senior management presentation, division structure diagram, product development process involving several business sections
• Modern outline symbols representing top management positions
• Senior Management roles icons
• Outline Icons representing product-related departments, sales-related issues, back-office and various product development steps
• 32 outline editable symbols in total for modern flat design presentations

4 lessons on how to develop a new business department

Your email has been sent

As companies grow and develop, so do the departments needed to facilitate different functions. IT, quality assurance, training, human resources, and marketing are all examples of this. Creating a new department is an exhilarating experience for many managers because it’s an opportunity to develop something out of nothing, and there is enormous potential for creativity, recognition, and promotion.There are managers, though, who refuse these department innovation assignments, preferring to stay in roles that are already established in the company because creating a new department can be risky. If it doesn’t achieve recognition and acceptance as quickly as stakeholders expect it to, those managers could lose their job.

However, if you are a manager with an entrepreneurial bent and you want to innovate a new department, there are several best practices from business startups that you can take with you as you develop a new business union.

1. Understand who your stakeholders and investors are and what they expect

A company starts a new department for a reason–there is a perceived need for the new department, and that need has reached the point where there is resolve to create it and fund it. If you are the one heading up the new department, you should make it a point to understand who your stakeholders and investors are and what their expectations are. It will be your job to meet or exceed those expectations.

2. Recruit strong people

You will beat the drums for your new department as it develops a reputation and a place within the organization. You can’t do this if you are also doing all of the daily work. This is why it is important to recruit strong people into your organization and to develop an excellent working team.

3. Understand the company’s pain points

If a company wants to establish a separate quality assurance department, there is probably a reason for it. Perhaps the company has been experiencing product or process failures. If a separate IT department is being called for when IT used to be a function within finance, it might be because the tasks of technical IT and daily IT security have outgrown the resources and skillsets of the finance department. If marketing is the new department being called for, it might be because sales has realized that it only wants to sell–not chart demographics, develop strategic plans, and organize promotions and campaigns. The sooner you get a handle on what the company’s pain points are, the sooner you’ll know where the new department can produce both value and pain relief.

4. Focus on developing a brand

A new department, like a new company, must develop an identity and also deliver value that its customers want. It is up to the new department’s manager to develop this departmental identity and to create the value that the department can bring to the other departments within the company. Once others within the company see what the new department can deliver and what it is all about, the department can begin to root itself into the corporate fabric and assume its place among the other company departments.

There are many similarities between creating a new department within a company and launching a startup. As a manager of a new business entity, you have to cultivate trust in your constituents, develop a brand and an identity for your organization, and build credibility. Value is created when you continuously demonstrate that you can eliminate pain points and move the company forward. At the beginning of the process, promoting the new department–as well as developing it–will be primary functions. If you can recruit strong performers and build a cohesive team, the job will be that much easier.

What to Consider Before Creating a New Department

Although creating a new department in your association can be challenging, it’s often a sign that your association is growing or venturing into new markets or strategic areas.

“No textbook will tell you the right time to create a new department, but there are a lot of reasons to launch one,” said Mary Lynn Fayoumi, CEO and president of HR Source. “If one department’s workload is getting too heavy or you don’t have a staff specialist to execute the goals effectively, it may be the right time.”

Amy Riccardi, CEO of Leadership Evolution Group, recommends starting the planning process with end goals in mind.

“The bottom line is important,” she said. “Think about your outcomes and where you want the new team to go.”

For associations to successfully launch a new department, they must map out goals early on, determine where it fits on the org chart, communicate the strategy to current staff, and then thoughtfully onboard new team members.

Plot the Big Picture

Start by identifying why the new department is necessary. Common reasons may include that the work no longer fits within another department, or the new department will help the association pursue a new opportunity in the marketplace.

“Once you have the ‘why,’ you want to move onto the purpose,” Fayoumi said. “Determine the goals and how they differ from those of existing departments. That will drive the responsibility of the department.”

Sometimes a new department can cause confusion among staff about where work belongs. According to Riccardi, that’s because the initiative often already has a presence in the organization before becoming a department.

“Be clear about the big-picture strategy and get everyone onboard with a shared vision,” she said. “For example, DEI can mean different things to different organizations, so if you created a new DEI department, make sure to define what that team is being assembled for.”

Determine Where It Fits

As you plan the new department, map out the organizational structure based on the goals and initiatives you’ve already identified.

“Figuring out where the department fits can be defined by budget levels, visibility to the board, or level of deliverables expected,” Fayoumi said. “You want to define the relationship between the new department and the rest of the organization.”

A successful department needs a strong team made up of the right people. Keep in mind that the right people to lead the initial change may not be the same people best suited to stabilize the department in the long term.

“You need to find the right champions to get things started and the right people to maintain whatever the department is moving forward,” Riccardi said. “Different leaders have different strengths, so it’s important to be aware that you might need to bring in new hires after the initial launch.”

“No textbook will tell you the right time to create a new department, but there are a lot of reasons to launch one,” –Mary Lynn Fayoumi, HR Source

Get Current Staff on Board

Staff may not initially understand or support the new department, especially if you’re bringing in outside hires. Take the information you’ve already pulled together, such as the department’s goals and priorities, and explain those concepts to the entire staff team.

“The more transparent you are, the less staff will be confused,” Fayoumi said. “Some organizations move so quickly to these decisions and just assume everyone will get it and then the new department doesn’t feel supported.”

To get everyone on the same page, also be sure to explain to staff how the decision to create a new department is based on a business need that will benefit all of them and the association.

“People aren’t going to make a change unless they are emotionally invested,” Riccardi said. “They need to know what’s in it for them and the organization.”

Support the New Team

Keep in mind that the work doesn’t end after the department launches. Leaders should continue to promote and support the new department’s team members.

“Leadership should help onboard the new leader to the rest of the organization and those the new hire will partner with,” Fayoumi said. “Doing this early on will make a big difference.”

She also recommends setting up new team members with a mentor or peer to help answer questions, give feedback, and provide support.

“You don’t want to leave them on an island without regular feedback because you could waste a lot of time, energy, and resources if things aren’t going well,” she said. “Identifying any barriers and successes early on lets you ramp up support quickly.”

Three Steps To Create A New Department for your Growing Business

When your business is growing, it demands more of you. It requires much of your time, energy, and ideas. You need to be quick to decide and to adjust especially when your business is rapidly expanding .

As expansion of your business comes to a head, the company will require a higher level of organization in order to function efficiently.

When only you and maybe a few workers constitute a business, the requirements are minimal. But say you want to diversify services or expand operations, things need to pick up in a significant way.

This is where you want to start thinking about adding departments to your business. This way, you can streamline production by compartmentalizing all tasks, and running your business as sum of all its operations.

It may seem easy to just create a department and let it run on its own. However, It requires tons of planning to ensure everything falls into place.

To help you out, here are the basic steps to effectively expand a business with the introduction of new departments.

Analyze the path of the company

When thinking about planning and strategizing , it’s critical to view pre-execution steps with the same importance as the implementation phase. As the saying goes, “if your fail to plan, you plan to fail.”

In other words, you need to consider where your company is going.

In the beginning, you may have just wanted to stay afloat, but taking that next step requires you to set a course. You need to sit down and contemplate, whether by yourself or with your core staff, to determine your overall business goals.

It’s also important to know where you are right now. Let’s call it your ‘Point A.’ This serves as the starting point from where you can move forward your business goals. In the same way as knowing your end goal is essential, you also need to know where you are coming from in order to reach your Point B, Point C, and so forth.

During your planning session , realize your current situation and check for alignment with your company’s original mission and vision. As you strategize on which department needs to be established, you’ll develop a better understanding of all the requirements that need to be addressed.

You also need to understand how your company appears from an outside perspective. This can be done by getting feedback from clients, from taking a look at your online reputation through Google search and evaluating your online presence, and through evaluation by your employees.

When you see how the company is viewed in every way, you can now decide what departments are necessary to be created.

Plan how to execute the introduction of new departments

Once you decide which department or departments to create, it’s time to get the ball rolling. This is where you need to execute what you have envisioned and start implementing guidelines for the new structure of your overall business system.

This is where it’s important to ask key questions. You have to decide who will run this department, whether you need a larger staff, and how this all fits into existing infrastructure.

For example, say you want to expand your sales department. Up to this point, you have been exceeding your expectations in terms of sales per month. Things snowball and there are more opportunities than you can reasonably handle with the existing structure.

If you’re hiring new people, you need to decide whether you’re going to post jobs online and where. You can try the large job post aggregators like Indeed or Monster, or you can rely on local sites. For example, if you’re in New York, it might be a good idea to post on a site that caters specifically to jobs in New York . You can also lean on employee referrals or take a look to social media sites like Linkedin for recruitment.

Also, establishing departments in the company could happen one department at a time or multiple departments all at once.

The former allows an option to test out the growth and follow through accordingly. The latter takes on more duties all at the same time, which is what happens when a business expands rapidly.

Regardless, the infrastructure needs to be there. You need to know who is handling what. For this, it’s best to put one qualified person in charge of the department and allow them to grow it as needed.

This person can report directly to the business owner, and can be held accountable for deciding what is and isn’t needed at any time. This process can usually happen slowly.

But sometimes you don’t have the choice to move slowly. If things aren’t coming together immediately, that is okay. It may take time for everything to fall into place.

Constantly review the progression

A new system needs guidance.

In order for you to make sure that the departments are in line with the company mission and vision, you need to establish a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for every department.

This allows you to see if one department is working effectively or not. It is like a grading system for the business. If one fails, you need to see why it failed and then do corrective actions. If it passes, you recognize the workers and see that they continue producing.

It’s also important to make sure your staff is staying aligned with the duties as they were laid out. At first, it may be difficult to them because everything might seem new or different. However, if everyone cooperates and works according to the set guidelines, things should run smoothly.

It’s important to empower whoever you have running a new department. Ask if they have other ideas on how to help the company succeed.

You can also ask your clients or customers if they have been experiencing more effective service with the way things are now. This feedback allows you to grow more and learn more as things continue to grow for your company.

Proposed Arlington budget seeks stability-that could mean higher property taxes, department cuts

Arlington residents could see an increase in property taxes as municipal officials look to balance expanded city services with a return to pre-pandemic revenue growth rates.

The proposed 2025 budget includes $3.1 million in planned budget reductions across departments; plans to cut 22 positions; and $23 million in deferred department budget requests to the 2025 bond election.

City Manager Trey Yelverton described the volume of department requests as “not sustainable.”

“This year it’s more clear than any other year that that can’t be the case and we have to figure out how to work through what our priorities truly are,” he said.

A budget also comes with a proposed property tax increase of 0.5998 per $100 of assessed property value, up from 0.5898 per $100 in Fiscal 2024. The proposal, if approved, would mark the first property tax rate increase since 2004.

City Manager Trey Yelverton said city employees considered cuts or reallocations across departments before proposing a tax increase on residents. New services – including one to launch an initiative called “Clean Arlington” and the anticipated March launch of the senior center, ACTIV – and federal grants winding down mean the city has more to absorb.

“We’re able to absorb some of that new stuff, but we can’t absorb all of that new stuff,” Yelverton said.

Yelverton asked Arlington City Council members to finalize the proposed property tax rate by Tuesday, Aug. 13.

A larger increase, he said, would allow the city to take care of what he described are “chronic issues” the city is not addressing, including investments in streets, buildings and city vehicles.

Andrew Piel, District 4 city council member, asked about the city’s drop in municipal court revenue since 2010 – and contrasted the dip with the amount of money residents’ property tax increase would generate.

“It just kind of jumps out to me, especially given the multiple times I’ve been told by residents that traffic safety is a huge concern for them in Arlington, that the amount of citation revenue dropped $10 million in 10 years, and we’re looking at a $4.1 million tax increase. That just kind of boggles my mind,” he said.

Arlington’s property tax rate is project to increase by $7.2 million in the Fiscal 2025 budget. Sales tax under the plan is up by $4.1 million, and overall general fund revenue is up $15.7 million.

The budget includes $421,000 for the second half of Arlington Fire Department’s transition to four-person staffing, as well as the absorption of 47 grant-funded full-time positions totaling $3.2 million. The department reduced its budget by nearly $200,000 by cutting 10 unfunded firefighter trainee positions, as well as the public health nurse position.

Yelverton said he has asked Police Chief Al Jones to reallocate 10 police positions from different units to patrol, on top of 22 recent training academy graduates dedicated to patrol. Yelverton alluded to complaints from Arlington Municipal Patrolman’s Association , which has asked for more patrol staffing.

Yelverton said while the department has added 100 officers over the past 16 years and put them in special units – positions that former police administrations thought might help patrol officers.

“I think we ought to do a little better because I share interest that people value patrol and not just special units, you know, behavioral health unit that, geographic detective this, a traffic enforcement unit that, which doesn’t seem to be enforcing much traffic in my mind,” Yelverton said.

The city will host two town hall meetings: One at Arlington City Council Chamber Aug. 14 and at the South District Police Station Aug. 26.

Most people would agree that public speaking isn't easy, and this is especially true when you're feeling the added pressure that comes along with giving a speech at a loved one's wedding. Not only do you have the attention of dozens (if not hundreds!) of guests you probably don't know, but you're also trying to appeal to a group of people in a wide range of ages from all different phases of the couple's lives. What's more, you want your speech to delight the couple of the hour and be as appealing to your group of friends as it to the newlyweds' grandparents. All in all, it's a tough task.

Before you panic, know that we're here to help. Ahead, we're sharing a comprehensive guide on what you should include in your speech , how to nail your delivery, and questions to consider to get the brainstorming process started—all from noteworthy speakers, well-established speechwriters, and wedding planners (who have seen it all).

Wedding Speech Template

Every great wedding speech has one thing in common: the right flow. Factor in these guidelines to help you find your own organic rhythm.

Open With a Statement or Question

Don't lead with a joke or a reference to how nervous you are. "The goal is to engage your audience, not make it a boring one-way message," says award-winning motivational speaker Jaime Pfeffer . "You'll lose them if you do this."

Introduce Yourself

After your opener, introduce yourself, says Fallon Carter , a wedding planner, even designer, and professional speaker. "A lot of times, people don't know who is speaking, and they don't know their relationship to the bride or the groom," she says. "It's really important to identify yourself, so make sure you've prepared something."

Address Your Audience

As speaker and life strategy coach Mark Black, CSP , points out, focusing on yourself only enhances nerves. "Instead, concentrate on your audience and how you want them to feel. This will help you to speak from the heart, allowing your speech to do what it's supposed to do: Make the couple feel special while also engaging the audience."

Focus on a Few Points

Seasoned speaker Susan Bender Phelps, CEO of Odyssey Mentoring & Leadership , says her top guideline is to select one to three aspects of the newlyweds that you love and appreciate, along with no more than three short stories to illustrate each of these points (or that one point). "The simple, succinct story or stories where the bride and groom are the hero will work best." This is an excellent way to structure your speech and keep your message focused.

How Long Wedding Speeches Should Be

The ideal length for a speech is three to five minutes, with five minutes being the absolute maximum you should speak for. That's it. "I’ve never been to a wedding where anyone said, 'That was a great wedding, but the best man speech was just too short and that  ruined  it,'" says David Litt , the speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and author of Thanks, Obama .

Carter agrees: "I always say anywhere between two and five minutes—and no more than five minutes," she says. "You want to keep things short and sweet." It's just as important to keep in mind when the speech will take place when determining length, since toasts are often timed with meal courses: "Be mindful of how long a course generally takes or how long it takes people to eat," Carter adds, noting that most courses last between 15 and 20 minutes and that several speeches have to fit inside each window. "If there are other people speaking, you want to be mindful and give them space."

Wedding Speech Tips

Now that you've established the right framework for your words, take note of these essential tips for acing the delivery from a few speaking pros.

Rehearse Regularly

The better prepared you are, the more confident you'll be and the better your speech will be, says author and professional speaker Barry Maher . A good rule of thumb is to practice the speech enough that you can remember the points you want to make and the order in which you want to make them. That way, you can look out to the crowd and make eye contact every so often.

Record Yourself Practicing

Use your phone to take a video of yourself practicing, suggests Kate Kenfield , speaker and sex educator. "It can be a little uncomfortable to watch yourself, but you'll be able to identify distracting mannerisms, such as the verbal pauses 'um,' 'uh,' and 'like'." It's also a good idea to practice your speech in front of someone else. "A second opinion can help you craft your piece and make it that much stronger," she says.

Don't forget body language! Rehearse the speech in front of a mirror and notice things like your facial expression, eye contact, and hand position.

Avoid Alcohol

Although it may be tempting to look for some liquid courage, alcohol definitely won't do you any favors, warns keynote speaker Amy Morin , author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do . "It may cause you to slur your speech and forget your lines, so wait until after your toast to celebrate," she advises. If you need a drink to loosen up the nerves or can't refrain from participating in a toast without being rude, stick to one glass of Champagne before you address the crowd.

Use Nerves to Your Advantage

A little nervousness can actually liven up your speech. "I get worried if I'm not a little nervous," says Maher. "I'll actually try to make myself a little tense to get my energy level up." The key is to harness that energy and communicate it in a positive, genuine way; tensing up to the point that you forget your words or panic won't make for a great presentation.

Be Yourself

Keep in mind that you're not putting on a show, only sharing your personal perspective. Trying too hard to force the funny can yield the opposite of the desired effect, cautions Matt Dalley, co-founder of Simply Eloped . "I've noticed that keeping it short and sweet, heartfelt and warm, and coming across as authentic and focused on the couple is something we are all capable of and generates some very wonderful moments," he says.

Never Embarrass the Newlyweds

It's a wedding toast, not a roast. While this should go without saying, keep the bachelor or bachelorette party jokes out of it, and remember that grandma and possibly a few colleagues are in the audience, notes Laurie Battaglia , a keynote speaker and workplace strategist. "It's okay to look back at childhood and refer to something funny, but ask yourself if you'd like 200-plus of your closest friends knowing that story about you."

Use Your Notes

Reading your speech straight from a piece of paper is a big no-no. However, having a couple of note cards handy is encouraged. "You're likely to be nervous, excited, and exhausted, which can make you forget your lines," explains Morin. "The audience won't care if you glance at your notes. In fact, there's a good chance they won't even notice."

Wedding Speech Brainstorm Ideas

Need some inspiration? Ask yourself these questions to get the brainstorming process going.

• Who will speak before you? After you? How will this affect the content of your toast? (Perhaps you want to include a reference to their speech, thank them for an introduction, or introduce the next speaker).
• Is there someone you should thank for making the event possible and inviting you to speak?
• What would you want to hear in this speech if you were in the audience?
• Is there a favorite story or memory that the couple would want you to share with their friends and family?

Wedding Speech Examples to Make Your Own

So, what does it look like when all these elements come together? Wedding vow and speechwriter Katelyn Peterson , owner and creator of Wedding Words , offered us three examples of successful toasts to inspire your own.

Maid of Honor Wedding Speech Example

"Hi, I’m Maya, the bride’s older sister . With Lucy being three years younger, we fell right into our respective roles as sister-rivals growing up. We constantly fought over stolen clothes, monopolizing the phone back when landlines were a thing, and what boy band to blare from the car speakers. I’m still Team Backstreet Boys while Lucy is forever indebted to NSYNC.

Looking back on those memories, I should have stepped up and granted Lucy permission to wear my favorite sweater for picture day, to hand her the phone once in a while, and to let her play, 'Bye Bye Bye.' Even I can admit that’s a good one. But despite Lucy being the younger sister, she has always been more patient, more accommodating, and more thoughtful than me. And that’s because when it comes to the people she loves, she’s all in.

She’s the one to prioritize their desires. She’s the one to compromise first. And, she’s the one to support their dreams as if they were her own. 

This is why it makes me so happy to know that Lucy has found a home in David. He matches her in compassion, thoughtfulness, and warmth. And I know he’ll spend his life prioritizing her desires, being ready to compromise, and supporting her dreams as his own.

Cheers to Lucy and David! May you always feel loved because you always put each other first."

Best Man Wedding Speech Example

"Hello, everyone. My name is Luke and I’m the best man . I met Robert eight years ago when I became his neighbor. His reputation preceded him as I had heard about the 'Block Party King' before my closing papers were inked. 

Rob has never been the guy to wear fancy clothes. In fact, I’m still in shock seeing him in that tux tonight. And he’s never been the guy to show off even though the work he’s put into his vintage Mustang could make Henry Ford himself envious.

But when it comes to cooking, he should receive an award. His pulled pork is a staple at our summer block parties and his homemade barbeque sauce has remained our neighborhood’s best-kept secret. But the most satisfying part about his delicious dishes is that there’s always plenty to go around. And Rob makes sure your plate is never empty. I have no idea how he pulls it off, but Rob has a covert ability to scoop seconds onto your plate without you ever seeing him do it. I hope you all came hungry tonight, folks. You’ve been warned! 

The first time I met Jasmine I could immediately tell she was an amazing person. She laughed at his jokes which I never thought anyone would get. She supported his career and the nonstop travel involved. But most importantly, whenever we’re all hanging out, Jasmine is the one always topping off Rob’s plate with more pasta, more chicken, more of everything. When she’s around, it’s never empty. 

And that’s when I saw what a perfect match they were for each other. I know they will always put each other first, make sure their needs are met, and will never allow the other to go hungry.

So let’s raise our glasses to toast the newlyweds! As you begin this next chapter together, may your plates and your hearts always remain full."

Father of the Bride Wedding Speech Example

"Good evening, family, and friends. I’m Daniel Lee, the father of the bride. I’d like to welcome you to this special occasion where we get to celebrate the love between my daughter Allison and her new wife, Kristin. 

Standing up here today, I’m reminded of all the moments that led to this significant one. The dance recitals that ended with standing ovations and the soccer games that concluded with winning scoreboards. 

But, while those were fun and rewarding times, those aren’t the moments I cherish most with Allison. The memories that make me smile the brightest are those in-between the big stuff moments. It’s the makeshift magic shows in our living room using a bedsheet that Allison confiscated from our linen closet to convert into a curtain. It’s the countless tea parties she hosted with exclusive invitations just for me and her beloved stuffed bear, Buttons. And it’s the way she’d beg to stay up for just five more minutes but was asleep on the couch by minute number two.

Those everyday, blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments with Allison are the ones that gave color to my life and filled my heart with a happiness I never knew could exist.

So, my beautiful daughter, as you begin your life with Kristin today, I have one wish for you: May your warmest memories come from the ordinary moments throughout your marriage, and may those moments give you a reason to smile brighter every day. Cheers! I love you both." —Daniel

What Not to Say in a Wedding Speech

Your job when delivering a wedding speech is to keep things light—tell an anecdote, make an emotional connection, then wish the couple well before you close out. Anything that doesn't feel definitively positive should be avoided. "I would advocate against bringing up negative details, specifically past relationships or past spouses," says Carter. "Skip anything that you wouldn't want to be physically recorded and played over and over again—this is a rule of thumb."

Keep it light, delicate, and present- and future-focused, Carter adds. "If you're going to go into the past, make those stories really intentional," she says. "Bring those stories back to who they are now. Your mission is to create a great environment and vibe and to potentially give some information about one of the newlyweds, so that it's enlightening for all guests."

how to write a wedding speech dos

Someone you love is getting married, and you’ve just been asked to give a speech at the wedding. What an honor! But also, if you’re not used to giving speeches, what a nightmare! Public speaking can be scary , which is why many people prefer to avoid it. But when your bestie asks you to make a speech at his or her wedding, it’s time to rally. But now you’re wondering if you even know how to write a wedding speech! What makes some wedding speeches fun and memorable, and what makes others cringy and fall flat? We’ve got you. We’ve put together the ultimate guide for how to write a wedding speech, focusing on things you definitely should do, things you definitely should NOT do, and then how to deliver your killer wedding speech like a pro.

If you’re wondering how to write a wedding speech, here are a few “Do’s” to keep in mind.

• Start planning early
• Introduce yourself and how you know the bride and groom
• Thanks to hosts, guests, and wedding party; congratulate the couple
• Make it personal
• Think of 3 traits with 3 stories
• Talk about the couple
• Have a beginning, middle, and end
• Consider your audience
• Keep it short and sweet
• It’s okay to be simple and meaningful

1. Start planning early

If you don’t know how to write a wedding speech but the bride just asked you to give one, this is not a time to procrastinate. Public speaking is one of the number one fears many people have, so it’s likely you’ve avoided giving too many public speeches before this. And unless you’re a performer or a veteran improv comedian, you might not do too well winging this one. If you get nervous in front of an audience (as most of us do), the best defense against freezing up when you take the mic is being prepared. 

As soon as you know you’ve been asked to give a speech at the wedding, begin jotting down notes immediately. Whenever you’re inspired by a thought of the couple or remember an anecdote that might be worth retelling, make note of it. This will help to give you a pool of ideas to draw from when you start writing down the speech.

Begin gathering ideas and writing the speech a couple of weeks to a month before the wedding. You’ll need time to edit, fine-tune it, and make it concise. And as wedding showers, bachelorette parties, and other wedding festivities begin, you might find there are entertaining stories from these events you want to add as well. If you want to write it all at once, you can do that too. However, make sure to sleep on it and come back with fresh eyes. You don’t want just “okay,” you want your speech to be heartfelt and meaningful.

You will also want to begin early to give yourself time to practice and rehearse your speech plenty of times.

2. Introduce yourself and how you know the bride and groom

No matter how large or small the wedding is, it’s likely you will not be familiar with many of the guests on one or both sides. And they won’t be familiar with you either. So don’t leave them guessing! 

Make sure when you start to write a wedding speech to introduce yourself and mention how you know the couple. This will help them understand the context of your speech, which will also help it to be more well-received. 

3. Thank hosts, guests, and wedding party; congratulate the couple

It’s also courteous to take this time to thank the hosts and other members of the wedding party for all the hard work that went into the event, and to thank guests for being there to support the newlyweds, especially those who had to travel far. 

It’s also a good time to officially congratulate the newlyweds and offer them your personal well-wishes for their future. It is imperative that you don’t forget this part, because they are the whole reason you’re there and giving a speech!

4. Make it personal

Whether you are the maid of honor, the best man, father of the bride, or just a friend, you were asked to give a speech because of your close connection and relationship with either the bride or groom (or both). 

And since you know your friend as well as you do, you probably have plenty of stories to share; so the next tip for how to write a wedding speech is don’t hesitate to make it personal and share those stories! This will also help guests get to know the other half of the couple they might not know as well or are just meeting for the first time. And those guests who do know them will love hearing some entertaining stories they might not have heard yet.

5. Think of 3 traits with 3 stories

If you’re finding it difficult to come up with anything, a useful approach for how to write a wedding speech is to think of 3 positive defining traits or qualities of the bride or groom and recount three stories or examples that illuminate a time they exhibited these traits. These stories could be comedic, heartwarming, or both. Just make sure they are relevant and entertaining!

6. Talk about the couple

If you’re the maid of honor and have been chatting up the bride for the whole speech, part of how to write a wedding speech is to make sure at some point it circles around to the groom, too, and to the two of them as a couple.  

Recount the time you met him, or how you remember talking about him with the bride in the beginning stages of their relationship. If you don’t know the groom all that well, talk about how good they are as a couple and about how happy he makes her. 

And If you’re not a fan of the groom, this is not the time to air your grievances. Always keep it positive. 

7. Have a beginning, middle, and end

All good speeches have a good flow and take the audience along with it. 

Don’t let your speech fall flat or jumble together in a haphazard confusion of disconnected anecdotes. Give it the structure of an overarching theme, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. 

We are not talking about a novel here, just make sure there is a direction to where the speech is going, and that the destination, end, or sentiment is achieved. It doesn’t need to be Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator, but a three-act structure does help keep you grounded. Most people also follow a story easier when there is a clear direction for a story or speech. 

8. Consider your audience

The next thing to keep in mind when considering how to write a wedding speech is to make sure you consider who your audience is. 

This is not the bachelor or bachelorette party. There will be a wide range of people present from children to the elderly, and from close friends of the bride and groom to casual acquaintances and coworkers. Make sure your speech is free of any crudeness that might not be fit for such a varied audience. Also, this isn’t the time to take a shot at any of the religious cermonies.

Be considerate and keep it positive and use language everyone can relate to. 

9. Keep it short and sweet

You want your speech to be meaningful and memorable; but the wedding is not about you, and yours is not the only speech. 

No one ever complains about a speech being too short, but they do begin to grumble if it runs on too long. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind when figuring out how to write a wedding speech is to keep your speech between 2-5 minutes long. Any longer than 5 minutes and you’ll lose everyone to thoughts of cake and whether or not to Cupid Shuffle later. 

10. Add humor

Don’t be afraid to be funny! Another tip for how to write a wedding speech is that if you’ve got a lighthearted, creative, joking side, use it and add humor to your speech! Everyone likes to be entertained. 

This doesn’t mean you should scour the internet for generic wedding-themed jokes, but if you’ve got some good original material to use that helps relate a story about the bride or groom in a comedic way, do it. As long as you’re not making fun of the couple but having fun with them, jokes are great. Or you can even poke fun at yourself to illuminate a higher quality in your bestie. It’s all about making the newlyweds shine. 

If you’re creative and have other talents, use them! If you are musical, bust out your instrument and/or vocal cords and make the speech in the form of a song! Use props, and get the other guests involved! The newlyweds will feel special because you created something for them, and the guests will love joining in the fun.

11. It’s okay to be simple and meaningful

If entertaining isn’t your thing, that’s okay! Don’t force it – just be yourself. It’s okay to be simple and meaningful with your speech. Always keep in mind when you go to write a wedding speech that what’s important is that you are genuine and speak from the heart.

These Are the Do’s and Don’ts from a Professional Wedding Speech Writer

Updated august 17, 2024, by  linda diproperzio.

by Linda DiProperzio

Public speaking doesn’t come easily to everyone—even when you’re giving a speech at a happy occasion. In addition to standing up in front of dozens (or even hundreds) of people, you also want to make sure the toast is meaningful and memorable. And of course, those words will be videotaped for prosperity. Don’t worry, though, because we’re going to walk you through the process!

Who Gives the Wedding Speech?

The most common people asked (or expected) to give a speech at the wedding include the best man, maid/matron of honor and the newlyweds’ parents. Of course, the couple can ask anyone they choose to say a few words on the happy day.

What is the Process For Writing a Wedding Speech?

Before you start the actual writing, jot down some notes to help figure out what you want to include. An appropriate joke, a happy memory, a wish for the couple, etc. You can also create an outline to help you organize your thoughts and the flow of your wedding speech before you start putting it all together.

How Long is the Speech Writing Process?

Everyone works at their own speed, but this is something you don’t want to rush through. Even if the words flow quickly, you will want to run the toast by a trusted friend or family member who will give you honest feedback. Once you know you have your final version, take the time to practice saying the words out loud so you feel more comfortable on the wedding day. If you can memorize it, even better!

Tips for Writing Wedding Speeches

There are some simple rules to follow when writing your wedding speech. We asked Tanya Pushkine of The Vow Whisperer to share her top do’s and don’ts when it comes to crafting a speech for the big day.

Do plan early. You do not—we repeat, do not—want to start writing your wedding speech the night before. This is something you want to give thought to and practice a few times before the main event. Don’t make it too long. The best wedding speeches are short and sweet. While you might be tempted to tell long stories or a variety of inside jokes, that will only result in bored guests. Keep it to three minutes maximum!

Do introduce yourself. Not everyone in attendance will know who you are and why you were chosen to be the best man or maid/matron of honor. Be sure to explain the connection you have with the couple

Don’t be inappropriate. Stay away from raunchy jokes and stories (as Pushkine notes, grandma is in the room!), mentions of ex husbands or wives, past lovers or even past proposals, and long tales of drunken nights. It’s never funny to embarrass someone on their big day.

Do bring up a happy memory. Feel free to share one or two good recollections you have of the bride or groom (or of them together as a couple).

Don’t make it about you. Remember, this speech needs to be about the couple, so take every opportunity to shine a positive light on them. And if anything happened between you and one of the two or the couple, don’t take this time to apologize, recommends Pushkine.

Do focus on one or two themes. To keep the speech from getting too long, narrow your talking points down to one or two themes, such as when the couple met and everyone realized how great they are together.

Don’t joke about divorce. No one wants to hear the D-word at a wedding—no matter how funny you think the punchline is.

Do stick to the script. Write down your speech and keep it on hand so that you don’t ramble. One page or a flash card with bullet points will suffice.

Don’t get drunk. You might be tempted to take a shot (or two) before your speech to ease any public speaking jitters. But getting tipsy increases your chances of saying the wrong thing or simply slurring your words so that no one can understand you.

“The key to all is to practice out loud as much as possible,” says Pushkine. “This will help through the nerves of speaking in public. If you are truly terrified, do not accept to give a speech…it’s ok to say that you are not comfortable speaking in public.”

What Is A Wedding Speech Writer?

Even with these tips, the idea of writing this speech might still seem like mission impossible. That’s why there are professional wedding speech writers that can help with everything from a couple’s vows to giving a speech that guests will remember for all the right reasons.

Should You Hire a Wedding Speech Writer?

You have to do what makes you comfortable. If writing the speech is simply too stressful for you, then definitely look for a professional that can help you through the process. It doesn’t mean your toast will be any less special. After all, you’ll still be providing the memories and anecdotes that make up the wedding speech, as well as giving in on the big day.

How To Find the Best Wedding Speech Writer Service

When looking for any wedding vendor, it’s wise to ask for referrals. Find out if anyone in your circle has used this type of service and have any recommendations. If not, you can always search for someone on the Internet, but be sure to get referrals before you send over any payment or make a commitment to work with the writer.

We hope these tips helped and you’re ready to start writing! Watch real wedding videos on our site to get more inspo for your own wedding speeches.

Toast to a Memorable Wedding Day: Key Considerations When Hiring a Professional Speech Writer

It's important to know what to consider when choosing a professional speech writer.

Wedding speeches are an integral part of any wedding. As the bride, groom, or a member of the wedding party, giving a speech can be a daunting task, especially if you're not a confident or experienced public speaker. If you're feeling nervous or unsure about how to put your thoughts and feelings into words, hiring someone to write your wedding speech may be the perfect solution.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider hiring a professional speechwriter for your wedding:

Tailored to your specific needs

A professional speechwriter will take the time to get to know you and your partner, as well as your unique love story. This will allow them to craft a speech that truly captures your relationship, your personalities, and your personal values. The speechwriter will use this information to create a speech that is specific to you, and that will resonate with your audience.

Experience and Proven Track Record

When searching for a speechwriter, it's essential to find someone who has experience writing speeches for other weddings. Look for a speechwriter who has a proven track record of success, and read reviews from satisfied clients. This will give you an idea of their writing style, the quality of their work, and the level of service they provide.

Feedback and Revisions

When working with a speechwriter, it's important to be open and honest about your vision for the speech. Share your thoughts and ideas, and be sure to ask for feedback and revisions until you are completely satisfied with the final product. A professional speechwriter will be able to provide constructive criticism and suggestions to help you create a speech that meets your expectations.

Audience Insights

A professional speechwriter should be able to understand the audience, the tone and the theme of the wedding. They should also be able to provide insights on what kind of speech the audience would expect and what they would like to hear. You could give them some insights of your guests and what makes them special to you, this will allow them to craft a speech that will resonate with your audience and will be more relatable.

High-Quality Speech

By hiring a professional speechwriter, you can ensure that your speech is well-written, heartfelt, and tailored to your specific needs. This will make it one of the most memorable moments of your special day and will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Writing a speech takes a lot of time, and it can be very stressful. Hiring a professional could save you a lot of time and make the process easier for you. This will allow you to focus on other aspects of your wedding, and to enjoy the celebration without the added stress.

Professional Language and Phrasing

With a professional speechwriter, you can ensure that your speech is free of grammatical errors, typos and that the phrasing is professional and polished. They know how to write in a way that keeps the audience engaged and makes your speech more memorable.

Hiring a professional speechwriter can be expensive ranging from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. It's important to set a budget and know how much you're looking to spend.

When searching for a speechwriter, it's essential to find someone who is a good fit for you. The best way to find a speechwriter is to ask for recommendations from friends and family, or to search online for speechwriting services. Once you've found a few speechwriters that you're interested in working with, be sure to schedule a consultation to discuss your vision for the speech, and to get a sense of their writing style.

Hiring someone to write your wedding speech is a great way to ensure that your special day is even more perfect. A professional speechwriter can help you craft a heartfelt, well-written speech that truly captures your unique love story.

“We both used Wordwell for our vows and speeches. Mike tried it first and said it was excellent. I didn't expect much, though was really impressed. It's quick, sparks great ideas and ties them together in a beautiful story.”

“I struggled to find the right words for my daughter Lucy's big day. I'm by no means a natural writer and I didn't want to let her down. I stumbled across Wordwell on Pinterest and it saved the day. The app helped me write a remarkable speech that put a smile on Lucy's face.”

“Wordwell was game-changer for my best man speech. I had heaps of good stories, but they were all over the shop. The AI turned my scribble into a great first draft, then improved it based on my feedback. I made some tweaks myself and the end product was a cracker! Got some laughs, warmed some hearts and sunk many tins afterwards :)”
