What we’re about
Almost Ready for Prime Time Speaking, Storytelling & Presenting is a meetup designed for those individuals who want to develop their speaking, storytelling, presentation, and business building skills.
Whether speaking within a group or organization, or speaking professionally in the public, this group offers a multitude of learning, growth and networking opportunities.
If you've never attended an event hosted by our group, YOU MUST CONNECT WITH OUR ORGANIZER FOR A PRE-EVENT ZOOM QUALIFICATION CONVERSATION.
You may schedule a pre-event qualification call at: https://calendly.com/alj-2speak/meetup-eventbrite-pre-attendance-qualification-call
Here's what one regular participant has to say about his results: https://vimeo.com/468642435/f946264ad9
We offer lots of networking opportunities in addition to the educational and speaking programming.
As always, please check with the meeting coordinator if you'd like more information.
AND, know that many regular attendees do not RSVP here on Meetup for the events.
Even if there are only 1, 2 or 3 RSVP's, chances are we'll have 10, 15 or even more regular participants at the event.
Don't worry if you see a small number of RSVP's. We've proudly delivered more than 650 awesome Meetup experiences over the past 5+ years!
I look forward to meeting you at one of our upcoming Meetup events!
