What we’re about
Welcome to SpeakStrong.
This meetup group is focused on developing professional communication skills to help you get ahead, both in your career as well as in your personal life.
Our interactive, online Zoom events cover various aspects of communication, such as:
- Learning to be assertive (gently)
- Expressing your ideas to others
- Giving and receiving feedback in a way that works
- Storytelling
- Active listening
- Empathy and emotional intelligence
- Rapport building
- Setting boundaries & saying "no" without upsetting others
- Verbal self-defense
WHY THIS GROUP EXISTS
It's easy to learn communication skills from a YouTube video, BUT unless you actually practice it over and over again, you'll just forget what you learned.
That's no way to learn a skill.
This group was created to fill that gap. Think of this like a professional communication "dojo" where you actually practice these skills in a safe, friendly, and controlled environment.
When you do that, you'll be surprised to find yourself automatically doing the right thing in the real world with real people.
Our meetups provide a supportive environment for all skill levels. We offer interactive workshops, discussions, exercises, and role-playing scenarios to challenge and grow your communication abilities.
WHO ATTENDS GROUPS LIKE THIS?
We have professionals from all over the world joining us. Most are from America, because we're just now expanding into Europe.
They are people like you who recognize that communication skills are important in order to get ahead in the business world.
TECHNICAL SKILLS VS. PEOPLE SKILLS
There is no shortage of people who are highly skilled technically. They are everywhere, and that number keeps increasing.
But there IS a shortage of people who are good at communicating and connecting with other people...
...and doing it with authentic, heartfelt confidence.
Those are the kind of people who get ahead much faster.
Join our transformative community dedicated to mastering professional communication.
We're excited to see you at our next meetup!
