Elevate your voice, own your career
Mindset x Public Speaking Workshop
Join us for an open, supportive and tactical workshop focused on working through the fear of expressing yourself in public, covering both the mindset shifts and practical tools to speak with more confidence, clarity and presence, even when under pressure.
Come ready to participate, get coached live by Cristina and Lauren, and connect with others on the same path.
How the evening works
Part 1: See what's really holding you back
Through guided reflection, breakout exercises and visualisation, you’ll begin identifying the story that’s been running in the background and reconnect with the version of you that communicates with more steadiness, honesty, and self-trust.
Part 2: Mindset, fear & foundations for public speaking
We will then direct this new version of yourself towards speaking with confidence and clarity. Through practical exercises, learning from others in the room and through direct advice from Lauren, this is a step towards an elevated voice for your personal development & career.
Part 3: Live hot seat coaching
We’ll close the evening with live coaching and audience Q&A.
What you'll walk away with
A clear picture of the internal story that's been making you shrink, and the ability to catch it when it shows up
More confidence and clarity around how to elevate your voice when public speaking
Practical frameworks for voice, delivery and presence they can use & practise immediately.
The experience of being coached live (or watching someone else be coached) on a real communication challenge

You want to prioritise building visibility both within and outside of work so that you can stand your ground, communicate clearly and influence others

About the hosts
Lauren is a public speaking coach, creator (200k+) & social media consultant, having spent the last 10 years public speaking and presenting at global brands including Meta, Brainlabs, the BBC & TwentiesFest.
Having originally trained as an Architect, she was quickly thrown into the world of presenting and realised she thrived when speaking to an audience. Early on, Lauren realised that this "soft skill" could open doors and unlock career-changing opportunities, but also realised it's a skill we are rarely trained in.
Having experienced both the corporate & creative industries, she knows what it takes to deliver presentations that elevate your talk and actually connect with a varied audience.
On a separate note, Lauren loves to cook (and built her 200k audience on this hobby) and loves a Sunday spent on the sofa with a good cuppa tea!

Cristina is a coach, facilitator and founder of Play Big Careers. She's worked with global brands like L’Oréal, GSK, and Vodafone, managed million-pound projects, and partnered with CEOs of billion-dollar companies. She knows what it takes to step into high-impact spaces with confidence, and she’s here to help you do the same.
Her approach combines career strategy with deeper identity and body-based work: the nervous system, the protective patterns, the internal voices that have been making decisions on your behalf. The result is change that actually sticks, not just a plan you never follow through on.
Outside of coaching, she hosts a weekly Saturday walk in central London and is usually planning her next trip with her husband or to see family abroad.
