About this Event


What if you knew how to hold an audiences attention in the palm of your hand?

How would that change the way you show up?

What might you put yourself forward for?

How could that change your career trajectory?

Competance builds confidence and competance in communicating your message is what you will learn this evening, which is why past attendees have said;


"I genuinely surprised myself with how comfortable and confident I felt speaking in this supportive environment" Jessica - Insurance and Risk Advisor


It's the kind of evening where you can get stuck in as much as you feel comfortable. There is no obligation to actually speak yourself. But if you choose to put your name in the hat, I provide the words so you can concentrate on delivery. It's fun! And you may well surprise yourself.


"What an enjoyable way to learn!" Lina - Internal Communications Manager


What to expect on the night:

  • Practical exercises that clearly show how varying the voice and adjusting the body impact an audience.
  • A warm, relaxed atmosphere where having a go matters more than getting it perfect
  • The chance to feel the difference in your own body, not just understand it in your head
  • Good company, and more than a few laughs along the way.


"Helen created an atmosphere, where everyone could have a go" Daisy - Business Owner


"The techniques were immediately applicable" Marie - Co Managing Director


What you will leave with

  • You’ll leave with real, usable skills and the confidence to use them.
  • A take away sheet of the nine skills
  • One monologue of your chosing to practise with.


"I left with the confidence to experiment further with the techniques" Louisa - Buiness Owner


This event is for you if you:

• Speak in meetings, present at work, or want to

• Are technically brilliant but struggle communicate it

• Want to work on your confidence to speak up in a space that feels safe, not scary


"I’d definitely recommend this evening to anyone looking to improve their

presentation and communication skills" Sally - Business Owner


" I learnt so much that I can use to launch my business" Ivona - Founder of Core Molecule


Consider this your invitation. It would be great to see you there.

Please BYO prosecco or tipple of your choice or non alcoholic drinks
