Mark Morris is a speechwriter and communication trainer with 18 years of experience helping leaders find the right words for high-stakes moments.
For a decade, Mark served as speechwriter to the NATO Secretary General, crafting speeches for audiences ranging from world leaders to military personnel. In 2019, he won a Cicero Award for a speech delivered to a joint session of the US Congress. Before NATO, he wrote for two UK Health Secretaries and several government Ministers from the departments of Health, Education and international Development. He also served as Head of Clear Writing at the Department for Health, working to transform the department's writing culture.
Mark now helps organisations to communicate more clearly and powerfully. He has trained hundreds of professionals face-to-face at organizations including NATO, the Cabinet Office, the Department of Health, the Office of National Statistics, the Department of Education, The Health Foundation and the Government of Moldova. Mark has also taught over 100,000 students through his online courses.
His approach focuses on practical techniques that work in the real world - the kind developed through years of writing for busy leaders who need their messages to land immediately.
Whether you're looking for training in speechwriting, clear writing, or presentation skills, Mark brings hard-won experience from the highest levels of government and international diplomacy.

Being a speechwriter for 18 years means I've read a lot of first drafts. Thousands of them! And each one suffered from at least some of these seven recurring problems:
Dull openings
Passive voice
Too many points
No clear objective
No story
Jargon overload
Weak endings
I fixed the same mistakes in every speech, be it a dinner reception or a statement to Parliament. Now you can use the same checklist.
One page. Seven fixes. Use it before your next presentation and your speech will be twice as good.
