Informative Speech

Topic: Executive Director

General Goal: To inform my audience about the role of an executive director, specifically in nonprofit organizations.

Specific Goal: I wish to educate my audience about this career of an executive director—the work, pay scale, and viewpoint—and to explain how an executive director can use their career to honor God by leading others to action, supporting the hurting and needy, and by demonstrating compassion and love.

Thesis: If you have a creative mind, desire meaningful work, want to inspire change, empower others, and if you want to honor God through your career, a job in the nonprofit sector would be a good career choice for you.

Persuasive Speech

Topic: Mental Health

General Goal: To persuade my audience to recognize the importance of caring for their mental health.

Specific Goal: I want to persuade my audience that caring for their mental health is just as important as caring for other areas of health, and that they shouldn’t underestimate the effects poor mental health can have on the rest of the body.

Thesis: The physical, spiritual, and emotional areas of our health are all intertwined, and when one is out of balance it will affect the others.
