i'd like to speak with you vs i would like to speak

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I'd like to speak with you' is more commonly used in a polite setting when addressing someone directly. 'I would like to speak' is a more general statement of desire to communicate without specifying the recipient.
