Public speaking isn't everyone's cup of tea. In fact, it turns the most confident of people into a sweaty mess as their mouths dry up and they shake under the gaze of hundreds of eyes.
I've done it a few times, and I'd talk for Ireland, but as soon as that microphone is shoved into your hand - things start to get a bit fuzzy.
What if there was a wordsmith out there who could create a masterpiece you simply have to read out? An angel in disguise.
Let me introduce you to John Walsh in Tipperary.
We first spoke to John back in June 2017 when we were compiling the Dos and Don’ts of Wedding Speeches. The 'poet' told us that he’d written personalised poems for friends and family weddings and they’d gone down a treat.
After the show that day, we had countless enquiries about ‘the poem man who helps with the speeches’ from grooms, desperate best men and fathers of the bride.
Over the course of the year, we continued to get emails looking for John’s services and so a year later, he decided to make it official and he’s set up a brand new website: www.poetryinmotion.ie
It went live 2 days ago and he’s open for business.
Iano gave him a buzz this morning to see what's being going on over the past year.
John has branched out and now caters for ANY occasion.
We salute you sir! An ingenious service that will save many's a person's dignity and prevent temporary sleep deprivation.
