What we’re about
Fact: Most people don't like to stand and speak in public.
And yet, there are a million reasons why you need to be able to do just that.
Studies show that beating fear in one area of your life will increase your confidence in all areas.
This group is all about creating a community of support for those who wish to grow their confidence in public speaking.
We have been helping nervous speakers bloom into confident performers for the last 50 years as part of an international not-for-profit network of groups.
Come along to our meet-up and experience our proven methods for yourself to improve as a speaker, step into leadership roles, have fun, make friends, and grow in confidence while you do.
