You have written a fantastic speech but then you are in front of your audience and you freeze…



<ul><li>Where should you stand? </li><li>What should you do with your hands? </li><li>Should you move, should you not? </li></ul>



Do these thoughts sound familiar? You’re in luck! Our next workshop in the series ‘Speak with Confidence’ is all about body language and dealing with your nerves.



Join us on Tuesday 18th&nbsp;August to learn about body language and using the stage for your next presentation.



Of course, the best way to become a better and more confident speaker is practice, practice, practice. That’s why we will also have some off the cuff speaking during the workshop.



About the trainer



The trainer for this workshop will be Valérie van Kemenade, she is a member of JCI Edinburgh and very passionate about public speaking. She was a finalist in the JCI European Public Speaking Championships last year and was part of the JCI Scotland team that became the first ever online (unofficial) JCI Europe Debating Champions. She has given many speeches at events and conferences and is also a trainer in her day job.

Our voice speaks volumes about us, both online and in person. From the moment that our newborn lungs fuelled that first ear-splitting cry to the last word you spoke on a video call today, our voices have worked tirelessly to communicate our personality with the world. Our voice affects our credibility, our authority, and our&nbsp;persuasiveness. And yet, most of us are increasingly disconnected from our own voices. As leaders,&nbsp;our success depends on our ability to communicate clearly, confidently and authentically. When we are speaking online, our voice is the primary means we have to show others that we are competent, trustworthy and able to do what we say we can do.



Alex Owen-Hill helps professionals to give next-level presentations. Through his interactive approach,&nbsp;you&#8217;ll learn how to develop your speaking presence both online and off to become more memorable and to better&nbsp;influence your listeners.

Public speaking is consistently rated as our worst fear – ahead of everything that can actually kill you! It is further estimated that 75% suffer from a degree of anxiety related to public speaking. The good news is… this can all change! Our trainer, Ilona Alcock, was the shy girl at the back of the school play. Someone who would never willingly speak in front of a group of people. Someone who literally shook with fear on even the smallest stage. Thanks to JCI, she has developed her public speaking to a point where she competes internationally, hosts awards ceremonies for 100s of people and lives the mantra “never say no to stage time”. In this interactive session, Ilona will offer top tips on creating an impact and share her expertise on how to plan a great speech. By following a simple process of answering five questions, you will be able to prepare effective pitches, keynote speeches and business updates.



Ilona Alcock &#8211; JCI UK Senator&nbsp;&nbsp; Having held a diverse range of roles in the past – everything from Commercial Litigation Solicitor in the world&#8217;s largest law firm to running a bespoke software development company with her husband – Ilona has gained a real insight into what makes different businesses work.&nbsp; She is a professional networker, regularly designing and delivering events as well as being called upon&nbsp;to host high profile awards ceremonies.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ilona has been an active JCI member since 2011 and was President of JCI Sheffield in 2014. Highlights of her JCI career include making the European finals of both debating and public speaking, winning European awards for two local projects (one of which was also shortlisted globally) and being awarded a senatorship in recognition of outstanding service. She utilises her experience to run training courses on public speaking and networking for a range of audiences across the UK and Ireland.&nbsp;

Join JCI Edinburgh on Friday 3rd July for a Scotland exclusive virtual ESCAPE game. 







Under Quarantine



The world is in chaos!



There is a highly contagious virus causing an epidemic and much of the population is under quarantine. Nevertheless, you‘ve risked coming to our detective agency to try and crack our newest case: the disappearance of Professor Marks. The world renowned microbiologist has been missing since this morning and along with him, the newly developed formula to the vaccine to fight the virus. He announced his scientific advancement yesterday and began acting strangely after receiving a mysterious telephone call. Why was he acting so strangely and who was he talking to? Don‘t waste any time. Make your way to his apartment, get inside and search through everything! Time is of the essence!



Zoom details will be issued on the day!

Every 1st Wednesday of the month it is JCI International Games Night! This week, we will play the online games, Cards Against Humanity. Get your games hat on, grab your favourite drink and be prepared for some fun and good laughs!



You will need two devices, one to play the game and one to join the zoom chat and interact with other players.



Register via Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link and password on the day.







More details can be found on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/3752367978111737/">Facebook event </a>page.

This event is for JCI Edinburgh members only as part of Edinburgh&#8217;s European Multi Twinning group.



In this event, JCI members will discuss the future of networking in a virtual panel discussion and Q&amp;A with representatives of the EMT chapters. How might going digital be a success factor for JCI, even after COVID-19? The past few weeks and months have brought the life of networking as we knew it to a halt. It forced us to rethink the way we connect with friends, family and within JCI. It meant going digital. And while many of us followed the necessity to engage in this new format of networking, many feel that the digital way does not work and will never come even close to the real thing. While others feel that digital networking brings us closer and opens new networking possibilities.



So, let&#8217;s discuss and find out if digital networking does have positive effects for our JCI/EMT network. And if it has, how might we hold on to them, to take them into a post-COVID19 world and even turn them ino a future success factor for JCI, and especially for our great EMT network.



The panel:



Sarah Lammers, JCI Hasselt



Barbara Wittich, JCI Mannheim-Ludwigshafen



Steven Crawford, JCI Edinburgh



Huber Van Gastel, JCI Alphen

Round 4! Join us for our fourth Friday night quiz in the comfort of you own home. This time, the co-host will be Ollie from JCI Barnsley! Make sure you have your hats at the ready&#8230;

Not all heroes wear capes…some wear aprons! That&#8217;s the mantra at Scran Academy, a leading charity that has responded rapidly to combat the impacts of coronavirus. This grassroots organisation of 160 key workers is led by JCI Global Ambassador and 2013 global JCI TOYP Awards winner, John Loughton. As a previous JCI Scotland National Convention Speaker, John is a well known political activist and trainer, as well as Founder and CEO of Dare2Lead he set up Scran Academy 3 year ago. We are very excited for John to join us in a session of JCI Edinburgh Conversations to hear more about how Scran Academy is making a great impact for thousands across Edinburgh during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the weeks of the lockdown Scran has grown its base of staff, mobilised a team of volunteers and donors, and led an impressive citywide strategic partnership across the city to meet the needs of those most at risk. To date they have served over 55,000 freshly made hot meals through over 12,000 deliveries to households. John will take us through his journey and vision for Scran Academy, how Scran quickly moved into action when the COVID-19 lockdown happened in Scotland, and what we can all learn about leadership and social action. John and his team have been very busy and attracting significant support, political backing and media attention, so we are delighted to secure this session. Join us to hear more about these local heroes and to get advice for anyone looking to make an impact and step into action in their community! You can follow in advance on their socials @ScranAcademy and @JohnLoughton

Join JCI Scotland and friends worldwide as we celebrate the success of our JCI chapters and members, and of course&#8230;find out the results of the debating and extempore competitions. Fingers crossed for Scotland!

Always fancied a visit to Edinburgh, or are you keen to learn more about your home (or adopted) city? We have the perfect event for you! In partnership with Invisible (Edinburgh), we&#8217;re pleased to offer you a fantastic virtual tour of Scotland&#8217;s capital city.



Invisible (Edinburgh) is part of Invisible Cities, a global social enterprise that trains people who have experienced homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own city. They give people a voice, when they haven&#8217;t had one before, putting them at the centre of the attention and challenging the stigmas that exist around homelessness.



About the tour:



Follow Paul, an Edinburgh local on a tour of HIS Edinburgh! See some of the city&#8217;s famous sights and streets, learn some history and hear some of Paul&#8217;s personal stories and signets along the way. Are you ready?



On the day of the tour (Friday 5th June), all attendees will be sent links to the files for the virtual tour, which you can view and access from the comfort of your own home. The proposed start time is 18:30 (GMT) when attendees can browse through the virtual tour (this should take around 45 minutes).



At 19:15 (GMT), guests will be invited to join a group Zoom call with the tour guide and fellow attendees, for a live discussion and Q&amp;A. Zoom details will also be shared on the day.



This event is open to all (members and non members of JCI), and we welcome you to join us.

Join JCI Edinburgh at the first event in their new &#8216;JCI Conversations&#8217; series, which aims to bring people together to learn about and discuss a range of topics in a fun and relaxed setting.



At this session, Kenneth Murphy from St James’s Place Wealth Management will be speaking about Unconscious Bias. Kenneth’s profession lies within finance, but as the founder of the LGBT Professional Connections networking event, he will share the discussions based on Unconscious Bias, and how it could have an impact on your everyday decisions without being aware of it. The information in the presentation may trigger an interest that will cause you to investigate further into your own biases, and those of others.



Having completed his business degree in Ireland, Kenneth moved to Edinburgh in 2004 to work in finance. He has held a variety of roles including Bank Manager and Building Society Manager, running branches and projects across Edinburgh. Kenneth then qualified in a financial advice diploma and started his business with St James’ Place in 2018.



We hope you can join us!

Gin Lalli will talk about the science behind how the brain functions during anxiety, stress and depression. An accumulation of negative thoughts over time can mean that we feel overwhelmed and out of control.&nbsp; Understanding the biological process that causes this enables us to manage these symptoms and feel better both mentally and physically. &nbsp;



By using examples and metaphors, Gin gives you an accurate, straightforward explanation of brain function and how, by improving just one underestimated area of your life, you can empty your ‘stress bucket’.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;About Gin Lalli



Gin began her career as an Optometrist and increasingly found that anxiety, stress and depression were having a huge impact on the health and wellbeing of her patients.&nbsp; Gin has always been fascinated by how the brain works; why can some people cope with difficult circumstances and others find it more challenging?&nbsp; In order to investigate and understand brain function, Gin began a journey to study neuroscience and psychology, which ultimately led to her becoming a qualified Solution Focused Psychotherapist.&nbsp; &nbsp;



Gin helps people to regain control of their lives by explaining the science behind how the brain functions and by employing the latest evidence-based techniques of positive psychology and mindfulness. &nbsp;

The second training session &#8211; “Think on your feet (Debating)” by champion debater, Leeanne Bradley.



In this lively, interactive Debating Course you will learn how to think fast on your feet and get over the fears of debating, get your argument across, and the rules to a good debate. This is all done in a fun yet relaxed environment, to allow everyone the chance to learn, regardless of whether you have debated before, or it is completely new to you.



Free to JCI Members and £5 for non-members



Your Facilitator – Leeanne Bradley



Leanne joined JCI Edinburgh in 2011 to build her network of young professionals in Edinburgh and she never thought Public speaking or Debating would become the main highlights of her JCI career. According to Leanne who is a self-employed Independent Financial Adviser, to be able to communicate successfully is a vital skill required to be a successful individual. It is a skill that once gained, never leaves you and is used in everyday life from liaising with your work colleagues to constructive arguing with your pals down the pub! The better you become at it, the easier getting your point across will be.



Leanne loves debating and has debated in many countries including Ireland, Brazil, Malta, Germany and even our neighbours down South! She has won lots of titles and trophies (incl. becoming the world champion in 2014) and owes her confidence in speaking to everything she has learned through her membership in JCI.

A staple in the JCI calendar, this is a great chance to come along, meet new members and catch up with old friends. Those who are looking to find out more about JCI are also welcome!



Come along for a great night!



Thursday 5th March, 6pm onwards!
