If you've been asked to give the introduction speech for a guest speaker follow the tips below, step by step, and read the example. When you're through preparing your own you'll have a speech you'll be proud to deliver.
Let's start with what the speech is supposed to achieve.
The job of an introduction speech is to:
introduce your guest speaker
create a welcoming, attentive ready-and-motivated-to-listen anticipation in the audience
Essentially you are the warm-up act. Your task is to focus and unite the audience, to prepare them for what is to come.
If you've done your job well your guest speaker begins without having to establish their credibility or reason for being there.
