“Having been active in Speaking/Training in one form or another for 36.5 years and having spent a small fortune on my development, I found Doug Stevenson’s How To Write and Deliver a Dynamite Speech System one of my most valuable investments. Not only is the program well presented, it methodically covers every key aspect in a comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand way that the learner can readily internalize and apply. I consider that the program’s content, gleaned from Doug’s wealth of experience, is a ‘must have’ resource for both beginner and experienced speakers.”

“The How to Write and Deliver a Dynamite Speech System is one of the most easy-to-follow, well organized programs on speech writing I have ever listened to. I listened to the CDs while driving to Michigan and back—digital recorder in hand. I was so inspired that I almost filled my recorder with notes on improvements I want to make to my keynote. From the beginner to the seasoned professional, this is a program I am proud to recommend. Thank you for your excellence. “

“I have been doing workshops on health and wellness since the early 1980s. I joined Toastmasters because I felt that my presentations could use a little more humor. Joining Toastmasters opened my eyes to the fact that I knew very little about what public speaking was all about. I have learned a lot from Toastmasters, but until I completed your program, How to Write and Deliver a Dynamite Speech, there was still something missing. Your 21–Step Dynamite Speech System is fantastic. It has really raised my awareness and opened my eyes about how to construct a speech. I have learned more from your program than I have in all the previous years of public speaking, including my five years as a Toastmaster. I first tried your method on a speech for my Toastmasters club and was praised by my club for what they considered fantastic improvement. By working through your step-by-step program I was able to put together a speech that proved to be the best speech of my life. Thank you.“

“Your How to Write and Deliver a Dynamite Speech System has been dynamite for me thrice over! It helped me prepare speeches for service clubs explaining The Santa Project. As a result, I have had several offers of financial support and also some in-kind assistance. My goal for these speeches is to get bookings for my program. My latest speech to a Kiwanis Club resulted in the opportunity to work with a local Girl Scout Chapter. How to has also made me aware of the need for a system, which I am working on. I am also using the Dynamite Speech System as I form a new business, which needs the speech development portion, the system development portion, and the encouragement I receive from your logical and ever-present dynamic personality. Thank you!“

"I have been speaking for over 5 years, but found that I learned so much from The Dynamite Speech system. The steps were well organized and the concepts were presented in an engaging and straightforward manner. The content was outstanding. What I also very much appreciated was that the audio was produced in a studio. The clarity is outstanding.”

“Doug's Dynamite Speech System is packed with great content. He didn't hold anything back. Doug gave me a behind the scenes look at how a speech is constructed and now I understand why I like or don't like a presentation. Creating a mind map, color-coding my themes, stories, points, etc. all made a huge difference in my ability to build my speech & put all the pieces together. I learned about "walk & talk" and now I don't agonize over the computer when trying to get a thought out, but I just go for a walk with my recorder. I also appreciated that he covered far more than the storytelling that he is best known for and incorporated what he has learned from years as an actor. The forms & examples in the back of the workbook will come in very handy. Thank you for a great experience. “

“Your How to Write and Deliver a Dynamite Speech System clarified some critical elements of speech preparation, like no other product I have purchased. With a master’s degree in communication from Dallas Theological Seminary and 25 years preparing and delivering a sermon every week, I can honestly say your system opened my eyes to new techniques that will penetrate hearts and minds and inspire people to take action. What drives me now is expanding my influence to help people discover the greater purpose and possibilities in their own lives. Thanks for your help!"

"I have found the Dynamite Speech System to be well worth the money. As a member of Toastmasters, I need to come up with speeches to give in my club. Sometimes I’ve been known to procrastinate (okay, a lot of times), so it’s good for me to have a step-by-step system to run through that will get my creative juices flowing. If I’m ever stuck, I can run through the steps and get inspired to leap on by my roadblock (yes, you can picture me leaping the barrier and falling flat on my face J). I think my favorite part of the program is the study of humor. Who knew there was so much involved and so many different aspects? I also have Doug’s Story Theater CD set, which is also just plain full to the brim with how to tell a story, types of stories, etc. I totally recommend the Dynamite Speech System."
- Leanne Hulan
"I attended Doug's Story Theatre Retreat in London and was intrigued by his approach, so I was looking forward to The Dynamite Speech System. I found it very helpful. Why? Because he does not follow the usual paths, but draws from his experiences as an actor, entertainer and coach. There is nothing more pleasing than to sit in the sun in the garden and to listen to Doug’s Dynamite Speech System to develop my ideas for my next speech. I give my wholehearted recommendation of this system to anyone who appreciates a practical guide to speech building by one of the internationally best known speakers!"
Fleur Woess, Vienna, Austria
The words , “Wow, what an awesome presentation,” were music to my ears. My dream to lift my trainings from good to outstanding had been realized. Those five words made the minimal purchase price for the “Dynamite Speech System” a worthwhile investment. As a long-standing Toastmaster, my passion is to help speakers to think more creatively about their presentations. As a trainer for our company it is pure bliss to have my audience actually enjoy a training. Doug’s Dynamite CD set has been invaluable in achieving both of these goals.
