A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing an Authentic, Memorable Stump Speech
People may forget your words. They’ll remember how you made them feel.
A great stump speech isn’t about memorizing talking points or delivering the perfect speech. It’s about creating a genuine connection with the people you’re asking to serve.
Whether you’re running for school board, city council, county supervisor, state legislature, or another elected office, your stump speech is often the first opportunity voters have to decide whether they trust you. Long before they agree with your policies, they’re asking themselves one question:
Does this person understand people like me?
The Stump Speech Companion introduces the HEART Framework™, a communication framework within the Compassionate Engagement Framework that helps leaders create conversations people remember by intentionally building connection and trust.
Through guided reflections, practical worksheets, and step-by-step exercises, you’ll learn how to transform your personal story into a stump speech that is authentic, memorable, and uniquely your own.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Develop a compelling hook that captures attention.
- Identify and communicate your WHY.
- Connect your story to the needs and values of your community.
- Build trust through authenticity and shared values.
- Organize your message into a clear, memorable stump speech.
- Create a concise elevator pitch.
- End every speech with a meaningful call to action.
More importantly, you’ll learn to approach public speaking differently.
Instead of asking, “What do I want to say?”
You’ll begin asking, “How do I want people to feel?”
Because when people feel heard, understood, reassured, and hopeful, trust begins to grow. And trust is the foundation of leadership.
