About Event

​If speaking in front of an audience is as attractive as standing in a crowded Bakerloo line during a UK heatwave, this is the event for you.

​Got a career-building presentation coming up?

​Job interview panel to impress?

​Wedding speech to wow with?

​Fancy giving a talk to boost your personal brand? But a fear of public speaking holding you back? We got you.

​

​Most of us don’t get an opportunity to train speaking-in-public muscles before we’re dropped in at the deep end, adrenalin spiking, palms sweating, voice squeaking. This session exists to build those speaking muscles, in front of a small, friendly, zero-judgement audience.

​Rules for Over to You: we keep it simple – and fun!

​All In It Together: Everyone in the room speaks. Zero judgement.

​Subject: Anything you’re passionate about

​Design: For clicker practice an optional 3 slides standardised format, you drop in a headline, bullet points + one image per slide (no notes)

​Time limit: Talk for a minimum of 90 seconds, maximum of 3 minutes. Sit back down. That’s it.

​

​Low stakes, no pressure.

​Nobody is critiquing your delivery.

​Nobody is offering ‘helpful’ improvement advice.

​No one is there because they’re good at it already.

​Everyone is training the same feel-the-fear speaking muscles.

​Maybe you're early in your career and haven't had a chance to present yet. Maybe it's been a while, and you need a boost to get back to your best. Maybe you just need somewhere to start.

​Whatever brought you here, the goal is the same: the more you practice without pressure, the less presenting will feel like a big deal.
