Supporting Public Speaking Anxiety

First Online Catch-up: Informal Vibe, No Pressure
From your couch, your kitchen, a blanket and a cuppa, whatever feels calm.
Here's the deal for online: camera on or off, completely your call. You can talk, drop a line in the chat, or simply be here quietly with the rest of us. Turning up is the brave bit, and honestly, for a lot of us, even zoom calls can be a major trigger as it is.

So, the goal is firstly creating a safe space and then as we grow confident together, dipping our toes into a more structured and practise-based meeting, following the concept of an 'exposure ladder'.

This one's a bit of a gauge, to see if the online format helps people who'd rather ease in from home first, or who can't always make it in person. And I'd genuinely love your input: if you've got a different idea for how these online ones should run, tell me 😊

I started this group because I've been challenged with public speaking anxiety for a long time and I'm tired of doing it on my own. My guess is a few of you feel the same. So this is simply about being in the same (virtual) room for a little while, and realising none of us are the only one.

Come as you are, mute when you need to, and leave whenever you like. No pressure, I promise.

First Catch-up: Just Coffee, No Pressure
Alright, here we go. Our very first meetup, and I'm keeping it exactly as low-key as it sounds: coffee, a comfy corner, that's it.

Honestly this is a gauge to see if anyone out there is even interested and whether this type of event resonates with anyone.
It's also the opportunity to get your input! If you have a different idea of how these should go, please let me know 😊

There's no agenda here. No "stand up and introduce yourself", no going around the circle unless you actually want to. Talk as much or as little as you like. Honestly, if all you do is show up, order a coffee and sit with us, that's the brave part already sorted.

I started this group because I've been challenged with public speaking anxiety for a long time and I'm tired of doing it on my own. My guess is a few of you feel the same. So this first one is simply about being in the same room, putting faces to names, and realising none of us are the only one.
Come as you are. Leave whenever you need to. No pressure, I promise.
