Workshops One evening, one theme
In person

One evening. One monster.

Public speaking is a skill, not a personality trait, and skills can be trained. Our hands-on workshops build confidence, presence and impact, even without preparation.

Tame Your Public Speaking Confidence Monster

21 October · 17:30–19:00 · with Matt Hrusc and Bianca Banica

Nervous in front of others? You’re not alone, and it doesn’t have to stay that way. You’ll learn how confidence works, use body language to hold attention, think on your feet with improvisation, and practise in front of a virtual audience.
