Leaving Speech
Leaving Speech
I have to prepare a leaving speech or a member of my team who has been with the company or the past 5 years.
Any advice on what to do or say?
“I always arrive late at the office, but I make up or it by leaving early” Charles Lamb
You could change this to “He/She always arrived late at the office…”
“When I came to the conclusion that it was right for me to go, my thoughts
went to that famous passage in the book of Ecclesiastes, about there being
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
Well, my dancing days are long past–[Hon. Members: “No!”]–and I promise the House that I shall not weep, but I shall certainly mourn the fact that an all-important phase in my life has come to a natural end. However, it is time for laughter as well, as we remember all the lighter moments that we
have enjoyed–
I say to you, rejoice in your inheritance, defend your rights and remember
always that the privileges the House enjoys were dearly won and must never be squandered. You elected me in the springtime, and I shall retire in the autumn, which marks a fitting seasonal conclusion to my period in office.
Therefore I say to you all, in a phrase that you all know well, but which
has never been more true than now: “Time’s up.” [Applause.]
1. Keep it short
2. Make it witty – look for a couple of quotations or jokes on the internet (the ones above could work well)
3. A summary of some of their best attributes – as well as an embarrassing moment
4. End by thanking them for their contribution over the passed three years – saying that they will be very much missed and hand them the present
Kind regards
e.g. There was no internet. There was no email (paper memos went round instead) Fax was the hottest technology. PCs were only just entering into business life. Mobile phones were called car phones and only a few people could afford them. We all complained about stress (not much has changed there).
These will all provide a contrast on how much things have moved on in business from today.
Good luck
what do you say
Friends are having dinner for me tomorrow night and I’d prefer to piss take than patronise.
Please some suggestions
“It is with with mixed emotions that I leave you – joy and excitement”
Ineed to write a speech for my boss who has been a wonderful person to work with and is now been transferred to another unit.

acting as a profession
1. Mention the positive impact the employee had on the company.
2. Discuss any worthy milestones or achievements he/she won in the firm.
3. Make a few light-hearted remarks about changes in the world over his/her employment eg (new Prime Minister, new President of America etc)
4. Thank him/her for his/her contribution as an employee.
5. Wish him/her well for the future.
