The power of persuasion,
for when it matters
How I learned to help you
My name - Lech Mintowt-Czyz - is Polish in origin, but I am London-born and British. I have been a professional writer for my whole career. I started as a news reporter, meeting people at the most extreme moments of their lives and telling their stories. Then, for nine years, I was a news editor on The Times (of London).
In 2016, I moved into corporate writing and became speechwriter to the CEO of Shell. Writing his speeches was just part of the job: I wrote everything he needed that had to be "just right" and I coached him to be a better speaker. Beyond that, I was also a trusted voice in the company across communications, government relations and investor relations. Together, the CEO and I won five Cicero speechwriting awards in three years - an unprecedented haul.
Since leaving Shell, I have written for, and advised, executives across energy, entertainment, aviation and sustainability, as well as royalty and heads of state.
I love to help leaders say what they need to say, in the best way they can. I love to help companies get cut through and land their messages. If you need seriously good writing, I would love to speak to you and hear more about what you need.
"Do not dismiss the potential of the right speech, delivered by the right speaker, in the right way, at the right moment. It can ignite a fire, change minds, open eyes, alter votes, bring hope to lives, and in all these ways, change the world."
