Speak with Confidence: Pitching and Presenting

This fun, interactive workshop blends group discussion, practical exercises, role play, coaching and training – empowering you to speak in front of others under pressure.

Members of our LGBTQ+ community can struggle with confidence because of fear of judgement, or belief we’re not ‘enough’.

Unlike public speaking training that can mould you to be a certain way, this workshop builds authentic self-expression by valuing who you are and being more you.

You’ll develop skills to:

• Speak with authority, as an expert in your work
• Develop your voice as a leader
• Communicate your value
• Express concepts and ideas simply
• Build self-belief and resilience
• Create opportunity for collaboration
• Be vulnerable and overcome shame
• Use personality, humour and storytelling
• Be spontaneous and handle the unexpected
• Be comfortable in the spotlight (AKA fear of public speaking)
• Develop skills to handle strong personalities
• Unite your team and engage more clients

The skills learnt in this session can be applied to presentations, meetings, and important 121s – it’s aimed at professional development! Step outside your comfort zone in a fun and supportive environment.
