Following the success of our two London-based public speaking masterclasses, we hosted our popular session to Birmingham on 12th September, kindly hosted by Turley.
The idea behind this workshop is about giving industry professionals agency and confidence over their voice and supporting those who are keen to do more public speaking - whether it's speaking on panel discussions, presenting to semi-large audiences, or simply gaining confidence to share one's story more, this session equips attendees with the skills to showcase the best version of themselves at events.
In this 90-minutes interactive masterclass, Priya covered:
- The power of storytelling
- Types of speaking engagements and what is right for you
- Preparing for panel discussions
- The psychology of public speaking and overcoming nerves
- Maintaining momentum after speaking events
- Interactive session where we go through some questions.
The session is aimed at those who are keen to speak on panels or build their confidence with speaking, yet don't quite have as much experience.
