Break your fear barrier

Confidence and conviction are key to effective public speaking.

This lab is all about understanding your strengths, learning by doing, and overcoming anxiety around public speaking.

Why Speakers' Lab?

Guided Techniques 

Every week for four weeks, the same group of 6-8 speakers meet and learn new practical skills from an experienced speaking coach. What makes this course different is participants are then immediately given an opportunity to not only try the techniques, but to get actionable, specific feedback. Every participant is required to speak each and every session – not for long, sometimes even just for a minute! The intimate setting is the perfect place to learn, watch others and try new things. Each session focuses on improving a different aspect of public speaking, and the goal is to have fun while learning.

Confidence Building

Everybody needs a safe space to speak from the heart, grow comfortable with their voice, and get feedback on how to improve. The Speakers' Lab is unique because participants are learning with like-minded speakers who are not only working towards becoming stronger speakers, but are also open to helping others and to learning what methods work and why. 

Practice Makes Perfect

There's no question – participants will be stepping outside their comfort zone in this four-session course. That's what makes it a little bit daunting, and loads of fun. Through improv exercises, voice drills and speaking to the group every single session, everyone gets closer to showing up as their best self. Getting up and having a go, receiving real time feedback from experts and peers, and watching recordings of yourself – that’s what will get you there.

Your style is unique… your communication training should be, too.

If you're seeking a challenge and want to build trust in yourself, this online speaking course will have you communicating with conviction and impact.

Whether a professional looking to improve your presentation skills, an entrepreneur working on their pitch, or an expert hoping to communicate their passion, our specialized guidance and experimental approach will bring your speaking to the next level.

Our small-group learning is a perfect offering for any organization offering professional development for employees who want to advance in their careers. 

In a group of 6-8 people, employees meet over four 90-minute sessions and enjoy the unique opportunity to have candid, tailored feedback on their speaking style and actionable tips on how to reach their speaking goals.
