About Event

​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 (6 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 75 minutes. The structure is simple:

​Check-Ins

​“What’s one thought or feeling that’s present for you right now?”

​You don’t need to be interesting. Just share what’s true for you right now.

​Round 1: Quick Exposure

​You’ll get a short prompt. Without time to prepare, you speak.

​The point isn’t to be impressive. 

​It’s to notice what happens when all eyes are on you — and keep going. 

​To practice being seen without preparing.

​Round 2: Tell Us Something Interesting

​You’ll read a short article and share it in front of the group in the way you’d tell a friend— what it’s about, what caught your attention, what you’re still unsure about. 

​It’s conversational. No presentation voice.

​Round 3: Personal Brief

​You’ll choose something in your life that needs clarity — a worry, a decision, a tension, something you’re working through — and talk it through out loud. 

​Or, if you prefer, share something you’re excited about or looking forward to.

​No perfect outline. Just thinking out loud, in front of people.

​Closing / Reflections

​Quick check-out: One sentence on how it felt, what stood out, or what you’re desiring more of.
