Are you looking to boost your confidence and excel in public speaking situations? Whether it’s giving a presentation at work, speaking at social events, or addressing a large audience, our workshop series is tailored to equip you with practical skills and techniques for real-world scenarios.

Our four part public speaking workshop series is designed to help you combat nerves, perfect content and deliver speeches with confidence and finesse. By the end of this series, you’ll be equipped with the tools and techniques to tackle real-world public speaking scenarios with confidence, authenticity, and impact. Join us and take the first step towards becoming a compelling and effective speaker!

Workshop 1 – From Nervous to Natural – Public Speaking Essentials

Tuesday 7th November
6.30pm – 8pm

Your stomach is turning, palms are sweaty and your mind has gone blank – just as you were about to deliver your opening line. Sound familiar?

Many people have a major fear of public speaking and are prone to the common ‘presentation panic’. Yet, presenting and public speaking skills are some of the most important skills required in our professional and personal lives.

Join us in session one of our #communicatefearlessly series and learn how to channel your nervous energy, manage your worries, and deliver a speech that connects with, and wows your audience.

Workshop 2 – Crafting Compelling Narratives – The Magic of Storytelling in Public Speaking

Tuesday 5th December
6.30pm – 8pm

How clearly do you communicate? Do you always manage to get the intended point across to your audience?

There are times when even the most confident and experienced speakers can fall victim to cluttering up their speeches, making them messy, unclear and losing their point.

Join us at session two of our #communicatefearlessly series and learn how to create speeches and presentations that captivate your audience from start to finish, through the art of storytelling. We’ll look at how you can define your point, statement or argument clearly, and how to deliver your speeches in an engaging story format.

Workshop 3 – Putting it into Practice – Public Speaking in the Real World

Tuesday 9th January
6.30pm – 8pm

Join us for session three of our #communicatefearlessly series to practice what you know and have hopefully learnt by attending the previous workshops. We offer a safe environment for public speaking and love to challenge ourselves to improve. We will take you through some key pointers and through this workshop help you to become more confident by putting it all into practice.

Workshop 4 – Express Yourself: From Improv to Fearless Communication

Friday 26th January
6.30pm – 8pm

Set the scene…don’t forget to say yes…think on your feet…have a blast!

Join us for a LMFAO style Improv workshop, the fourth session in our #communicatefearlessly training. Build up your quick-thinking skills with out of the box exercises. JCI provides a safe space to explore, have fun, and learn with like-minded young professionals in this theatrical style training course.
