Hi guys,

I am a professional confidence coach for people with social anxiety and this free event is for anyone who wants to build more confidence, make new connections and enjoy themselves.

Over the years running events several people have mentioned public speaking as one of their biggest social fears and I know it's one of the best ways to build confidence with people. Since we're forecasted to have great weather, I think it's the perfect opportunity to pick a nice chilled green spot in Cannon Hill park and practice public speaking in a group :)

Depending on the group size I will organise the event so that everyone gets the chance to practice public speaking if they feel up to it.

Since it's a big park we can meet in the outdoor seated area of the Midlands Arts Centre, which is on the opposite side of the long rectangular car park, at 12 noon and we can set off from there at around quarter past to find a suitable place in the park!

I appreciate there are different levels of social anxiety so I will do my best to create a non-judgmental space where everyone feels welcome, included in the conversation and has the opportunity to speak. This is important as the only way I know to build true confidence is through real experience of opening up and expressing yourself honestly to prove to yourself that you are safe to express yourself.

This Meetup is also an opportunity to ask any questions to myself and the rest of the group regarding a sticking point you might face in social situations and, thus, learn about social dynamics and responding to cues.

As socialising is both an emotional skill set (feeling confident, relaxed, connected to others etc.) and a logical skill set (understanding social dynamics, responding well to cues etc.) genuinely mastering social anxiety requires progress in both skill sets and to do this you need the opportunity to practice and learn.

Therefore, I encourage you to give yourself the freedom to make mistakes, enjoy the process and I believe with a few simple lifestyle tweaks and attending half a dozen or so of these Meetups you will be significantly more confident.

If this event sounds like one you would benefit from I very much look forward to meeting you!

Public speaking at Cannon Hill Park, making friends and having fun

Hi guys,

I am Phil Morrison and I am a confidence coach for men and women with social anxiety.

This free event is for anyone who wants to reduce social anxiety, feel more secure connecting with people and make new friends.

We will meet outside the entrance to the Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), which faces the park with tables and seating, at 2pm and by 2:20pm we will set off to a really nice green area with shade and sun.

If everyone could bring one item of food or drink that would be amazing, and if anyone has a picnic blanket that would also be great!

For the first 30 mins or so I will have a few planned activities to help people break the ice, build more confidence and feel part of the group and then for the next 2-hours or so we can chill and enjoy the picnic.

Also, if anyone has any questions or challenges feel free to come and chat to me during the picnic and I'll see if I can help you out through my coaching experience.

If this event sounds like one you would benefit from I very much look forward to meeting you!
