For this, Ford recommends keeping the speech PG-13.
Rule of thumb: if it would make your grandmother blush, its out!

The final piece of advice from Ford for speakers would be to not get too drunk.

Ford also suggests offering support.
A reassuring smile or a gentle clap can go a long way.
Show your support for the speaker; its about the effort, not the execution.
Speak to whoever may have been upset or offended.
He further mentions that its a good idea to ask what the speaker is going to say in advance.
