Terrified of Public Speaking? ...ME TOO!
This isn’t Toastmasters.
There are no long speeches and no one tracking your filler words.
And this isn’t about becoming a better presenter. It’s about becoming a little less afraid of taking up space. And doing it in a room where everyone else is practicing the same thing.
It’s an intimate speaking circle.
A small group (15 people max) where everyone stands up and gets an equal amount of time to practice speaking authentically in front of others.
There is no feedback or critique unless you ask for it.
*********************************************************
Each session is 80 minutes. The structure is simple:
Arrival: Conversation Prompts & Check-Ins
Grab a question card and connect with someone new.
Then we’ll come together and share a short check-in.
Round 1 and 2: Speaking Off the Cuff
You’ll get a prompt. Without time to prepare, you speak!
The point is to think on your feet, notice what it feels like when all eyes are on you, and keep going.
I know it might sound scary. People tend to really enjoy this part.
Round 3: You Decide
Choose your own adventure!
"Mudra Theatre" (an Authentic Relating game).
"Tell Me Everything, Now Stop Talking" game.
Another "Speaking Off the Cuff" game.
Speak from the heart about something real in your life, whether that's a decision, a worry, or something exciting.
OR... for the brave souls, you are welcome to come with a prepared talk (max 3 minutes) on anything you care about.
Closing / Reflections
Quick check-out: A sentence or two on how it felt, what you liked, what you didn't like, or what you’re desiring more of.
