Discover the secrets to communicating with confidence, ease and impact.
Being an expert in your field doesn’t necessarily mean you are able to talk about it with confidence and impact. In fact, 75% of the population has a fear of public speaking. For many, the anxiety of speaking in front of others prevents us from embracing new challenges or progressing our careers.
‘Public speaking’ comes in a range of guises such as leading a meeting between colleagues, networking amongst peers, delivering a formal speech, presenting ‘TED’ style, or pitching a product to a potential client. For some people an audience of 5 can feel as challenging as an audience of 500.
The Speak like a Pro workshop will arm you with tools to build your confidence, explore/strengthen your voice, breathe better and shift your mindset from one of fear to one of excitement! You will leave with practical tips and exercises that you can apply straight away (at your next meet-up or Big Event!) and continue working on going forward.
This workshop is for you if:
- You’re tired of being fearful of speaking in front of others
- You want your voice and body language to say ‘confident communicator’
- You need help with speaking-to-camera for social media videos
- You’d like to take on new challenges but you lack confidence in your voice/speech and communication skills
- You find TED talks inspiring but think "I could never do that!”
- You’d like to learn practical exercises that you can take away to continue working on your voice/speech and impact
This is a practical workshop where you will be able to practise the breathwork and vocal techniques Helen shares. The session will be a safe and supportive place so if you feel more comfortable doing this with your camera off and audio on mute that's absolutely fine - you can practise like no one is listening!
This workshop is here to help you say a big, confident yes to those speaking and leading opportunities you've been shying away from.
You'll come away believing you can talk about your business just as brilliantly as you run it (because you absolutely can!). Whether it’s a pitch, a presentation, or popping up on video for social media, you’ll have simple, stress-free strategies to help you prepare and feel ready. Plus, you’ll get a bunch of easy voice and body warm-ups you can keep in your back pocket for whenever those nerves try to sneak in.
Imagine if you could...
- Know that you’ll smash it! - Be filled with excitement (not dread!) for an opportunity to share your expertise at a conference or on a podcast
- Have a Confidence-Kit: Easy exercises in your back pocket to manage your nerves, calm your mind and boost your confidence
- Learn key voice & breathwork exercises - to strengthen your speech & delivery (and boost your wellbeing).
- Do what an actor does - Own the room, enjoy being in the limelight and connect meaningfully with your audience.
