Where a speechwriter can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a speechwriter already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Speechwriters research and write speeches on multiple topics. They need to catch and hold the interest of an audience. Speechwriters create presentations in a conversational tone so it looks like if the text was not scripted. They write in a comprehensible manner so the audience gets the message of the speech.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a speechwriter already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
