Work and farewell speeches

Three speeches get given when somebody leaves a job, and they are not the same speech. If you are retiring, the room has turned up to hear what you made of the work and what you think of them. If you are introducing someone else, your whole job is to name one specific thing they did. And if it is your last day, you have three minutes, ninety seconds' notice and a paper plate.

There is a guide for each. Same format every time: a PDF you can write straight into, an editable Word version, and a cue card sheet to print and cut.

Questions

Which guide do I need?

The one matching your position in the room. If you are the one leaving and retiring, that is the retirement guide. If it is your last day at a job you are moving on from, that is the leaving guide, which is a much shorter speech. If you are speaking about someone else, that is the send-off guide.

What do I actually receive?

A PDF guide you can write straight into, an editable Word version of the same template if you would rather type, and a printable cue card sheet to cut. Delivered as an instant download, yours to keep.

Can I say the thing about management?

No, and all three guides are blunt about it. Every workplace speech has one pointed remark available, it gets the biggest laugh of the afternoon, and it costs more than it earns. References get taken, industries are small, and the person it is aimed at will enjoy telling the story more than you will enjoy having said it. Each guide gives you a test for finding that line and cutting it.

Can I buy more than one?

Yes. The Work Speech Pack covers all three guides and costs less than buying them separately. It includes the joke pack.

How much notice will I get?

For a retirement or a send-off, usually plenty. For your own leaving speech, assume about ninety seconds. That is why the leaving guide ships four cue cards rather than six and tells you to carry them from the Monday of your last week.

What if it is not what I needed?

Email within 14 days and it is refunded, no questions asked. You keep the files.
