Get a Second Opinion on Your Leaving Speech Before the Office Hears It
You have three lines written on a Post-it and a leaving do in an hour. This runs your speech past a second pair of eyes: keeps the genuine bits, cuts the cringe, and makes sure it is short enough that nobody's eyes glaze over by the second story.

**Critique the speech across three passes:**
1. Content: does it cover a genuine memory or two, a note of thanks, and a clear well wish, without turning into a list of duties
2. Tone: is it warm without tipping into cringe, and appropriate for a mixed audience of close colleagues and people who barely know {COLLEAGUE_NAME}
3. Length and delivery: flag any sentence that is hard to say out loud, and confirm the whole thing can be delivered in under [two minutes]
</task>
<output_format>
- A short verdict: ready to deliver, or needs work
- Line by line notes on anything that should change, with a reason for each
- A rewritten opening line and closing line as examples
- Tone: plain and encouraging, not harsh
