It’s graduation season, so I thought we should take a look at a wonderful commencement address. Check out Steven Colbert’s Knox College Commencement Address. He crafts a speech that fits the occasion brilliantly, it’s light and witty, and he finds a way to turn the whole improvisational nature of the speech into the theme of the speech itself. “Say yes” he says, and learn to turn your life into a thrilling improvisation.

Note: The speech is broken into three video files. See the next two posts for the remaining two vids.

Jeffrey Davis is the owner of Speak Clear Communications. He is an executive public speaking coach and accent reduction coach in New York City.
