​A Public Speaking Practice Club for International Women Professionals

​You probably already know you should slow down, breathe, make eye contact, and stop saying “um.” 😅

​But knowing what to do and actually doing it when the spotlight is on you are two very different things.

​That’s why we created SpeakUp Club. 💜

​A warm, supportive space for international women to practice speaking, step outside their comfort zone, get real-time feedback, connect, and grow together.

​What are we going to do?

​🎤 Speak Up - Bring something you actually want or need to practice, step into the spotlight, and give it a try.

​💬 Get real-time feedback - Receive professional, personalized feedback and practical tools you can use beyond those 5 minutes.

​🎭 Play & experiment - Expect improv, acting exercises, voice and body work, and warm-ups to help you get out of your head and feel more comfortable speaking.

​🤝 Connect - Meet other women, support each other, make friends, and laugh a lot along the way. :)

​We’ll work on your Mind, Message, Body & Voice, and Delivery - because becoming a better speaker is about so much more than choosing the right words.

​What should I bring?

​Your 5 minutes!

​Bring your pitch, presentation, introduction, part of your webinar, speech, story, or anything else you want to practice. (up to 5 min)

​And please don’t try to make it perfect before you come.
This is your dry run. That’s the whole point. :)

About Your Facilitator

​Yulia Zherebtsova is a public speaking coach, actress, and immigrant who knows what it feels like to lose your professional voice when you move to a new country.

​Through The Limelight Hub, she helps international women in Silicon Valley find that voice again - to speak up in meetings, talk about their achievements without shrinking, navigate cultural differences, and feel like themselves in English.

​Her approach combines acting techniques, communication training, and firsthand experience of rebuilding a career in the U.S.

💜 SpeakUp Club is recurring!

​We meet regularly, creating an ongoing space for international women to practice, connect, and grow together.

​Come once. Come again. Bring something new or bring the same thing and see how different it feels the second time. :)

🎟️ Your spot: $75
👥 Limited to 10 women to keep the group small, and give everyone time to practice.
