Biography speech introduction

A speaker bio is a brief summary of your education, work history and experience that is relevant to your speaking topic (the focus is on brief and relevant). The organization requesting your speaker’s bio may specify a format and length.

If they don’t, follow these speaker bio guidelines:

• Keep your speaker biography brief—no more than 75 to 100 words.

  Biographies that are too long simply don’t get read. Or worse, the organization may summarize your bio in a way that you don’t like.

• Include your current position and a brief mention of work history and experience that is relevant to your speaking topic and audience
• Include academic qualifications, awards, and a reference to published work, but only if applicable to the material you are presenting

Getting started writing your speaker’s bio

To start writing, use a point form method or use a speaker bio template  (useful for motivational speakers as well as other professional speakers).
