About this Event

You know that moment when you want to speak up — in a meeting, in a group, in life — but your mind goes blank and your heart starts breakdancing?
Yeah. That ends here.

On Saturday 17 January 2026, Spotlight is running the Speaking Confidence Accelerator (Beginners Edition) in Sheffield — a half-day, high-energy, hands-on session designed to help real humans speak with real confidence.

No awkward role plays.
No corporate jargon.
No “pretend you’re not nervous” nonsense.

Just you, your voice, and a room of people who get it.


What You’ll Learn

By the end of this session, you’ll know how to:

  • Look confident even when you don’t feel it yet
  • Stop overthinking and speak clearly in the moment
  • Handle nerves, shaky hands, and brain-freeze moments
  • Connect with your audience naturally
  • Speak without hiding behind notes
  • Feel comfortable taking the floor in any setting

This workshop is all about real-life speaking, not memorising scripts.


Who This Is For

Perfect for:

  • Beginners
  • Nervous speakers
  • People who want their confidence back
  • Business owners, students, job seekers
  • Anyone who has something to say but hates the spotlight

If speaking makes your stomach flip, this room was built for you.


Investment

£35
(Yes — really. We’re removing the barriers so more people can get started.)


What to Expect

  • Warm, friendly group
  • Lots of practical exercises
  • Zero judgment
  • Real progress in just one morning
  • A huge confidence boost you’ll feel immediately

You’ll walk in nervous and walk out thinking, “I can actually do this.”
