In person

Where monsters stay tamed.

Your monthly safe space to practise. Get real feedback from a professional coach and your peers, learn a technique or two, and actually speak instead of just watching.

Everyone speaks.

Each participant gives at least one speech. You choose how.

Option 1

Bring your own talk

Up to 5 minutes of something you’re working on: a work presentation, an annual report, a university assignment or a wedding speech. Deliver it to a real audience and get feedback.

Option 2

Jump in

Nothing prepared? No problem. Try improv speaking exercises, PowerPoint karaoke and VR public speaking practice. We have the exercises ready.

A night at the Gym.

Six people, one coach, and everyone gets their turn at the front.
