Change of command speech.

They’re changing the guard at Buckingham Palace. Well actually they are changing command in the forces all around the world and guess what? They all have to make a change of command speech. So today’s speech is just that, a change of command speech for a Navy commander. Here’s a small gem of advice I found given to an incoming commander for his speech.

‘Stand up, shut up and sit down.’ (I’m telling you ’simplicity’ is the new black). I’m just guessing here but I think that advice might have come from someone in the audience.

Though that doesn’t leave a lot of room for the incoming commander to express his or her sentiments for the future does it?

But I guess that’s where speech-writers come in.

Never knowingly short of words- Marco.
