A good goal to start off with when writing a speech is to be as honest as you can and learning integrity. Integrity is defined as “the impression of a speaker as being honest, ethical, and dependable” (Turner, Osborn, Osborn, & Osborn, 2018). An example of integrity would be staying true to yourself and your audience as you deliver a speech. Don’t make up fake stories or problems that you went through because it doesn’t allow the audience to connect with you or understand your point of view. When you have integrity and stay true to yourself you also are less likely to stumble and your speech will be more organized.
