Public Speaking Practice Saturdays (FREE for first timers)

Come and get the chance to speak in a supportive and friendly environment. Public Speaking will boost your confidence and give you more power to speak and to be listened to in both your personal and professional life.

What makes this public speaking session different from others you ask?

There is a strong emphasis on self-expression, creativity, trial and error, and most importantly, speaking practice!

What will you gain from this event?

• Gain confidence by overcoming your fear of public speaking
• Learn to think on your feet with our Impromptu speaking format
• Get feedback and improve your public speaking with a real audience
• Tips and opportunities to practice: body language, voice, tone, pitch, uses of stories, use of pauses, humour, etc...

Here's how it works:

*I may choose to change the format from time to time based on numbers, and to practice different aspects of public speaking in order to keep it challenging*

You will put your name in a hat/bowl and when your name is chosen, you will be asked to perform.

You will speak for 2 minutes on a random topic given by the audience. This is called an impromptu speech.

We will do 2-3 rounds of speaking followed by a feedback session at the end of the workshop.

Public Speaking suggestions:

TIP: Give your impromptu speech the following 3 sections below.

1. Introduction ("Today, I'm going to talk about....")
2. Body ("Here is my personal experience....")
3. Conclusion ("So, my key message is ....")

Each speech is to be 2 minutes long. Audience size 10-15 people.
You're not obligated to speak, although I may strongly encourage you to do so.

What to bring: Yourself only- There are no mandatory necessities which you must bring.

Dress Code: There is no dress code. It is best practice however, that you wear the attire for the occasion which you are practicing for.
