Social Confidence Online Practice Group

INTRODUCTION
Whether you struggle with public speaking, meeting new people, or simply want to enhance your social confidence, this online practice group offers a safe space to grow and learn.

I believe that regular practice is extremely important in learning to become more confident. The aim is that after every session you come away feeling like you've made some real progress towards putting social anxiety in its place for good!

From my own experience, I've found that online groups can be very effective at helping to bridge the gap between spending evenings alone at home and being bold enough to explore and meet new people in the real world. They have helped me a great deal to step out of and expand my comfort zone. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

This group will focus on solutions and putting them into practice.

HOW EACH SESSION WILL WORK
The general layout for each session will be a brief round of introductions/proactivity reports to get everyone involved, followed by a variety of behavioural activities aimed to gently nudge people out of their comfort zones. This will usually involve breakout rooms, some minor improv activities and each session will finish with some form of public speaking.

There is no obligation to participate in any activity you do not feel comfortable enough to do right now. There is no pressure whatsoever! We are all at different stages on our journeys. Take things at your own pace.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Sessions will be conducted on Google Meets (link will be available after you RSVP)

Everybody must have their camera on. This will ensure you and everyone else get the maximum benefit from each session.

I have set a limit on the number of people that can join each session to keep numbers low so as not to overwhelm people (this is a social anxiety group after all!).
This also means people get multiple opportunities to speak each session.

Please change your RSVP status if you are no longer able to attend, to allow the members on the waiting list to join the event.
Not turning up or cancelling less than an hour before the event might result in you being disallowed from future sessions.
