TRAINING
Thanks to our weekly meetings and educational programmes, you’ll learn how to become a skilful speechwriter, a more confident motivational public speaker, or a thought leader in your field.
Weekly Meetings
In our experience, the best way to develop and learn the art of public speaking, personal effectiveness in communicating and leadership skills is over a prolonged period, through regular weekly meetings which focus on your progress and those of the people in your club. Meeting every Wednesday lunchtime helps us all to learn and improve together. Plus, you'll have the opportunity of delivering a TED talk each week! We all have a vested interest in each others success. We encourage you to come along as our guest for one or two meetings, with no commitment to join. We hope you will enjoy and be engaged by the experiential learning experience.

Speechcraft
Speechcraft is a fun and engaging way for a small group of people to learn how to overcome their nerves of public speaking and become more effective communicators. The programme runs for between 6 and 8 weekly sessions of up to 2 hours. You are provided with a workbook and taught how to deliver a range of different speeches and receive feedback on your strengths and areas for improvement. The whole group grows together in a supportive learning environment.
Youth Leadership
The Youth Leadership Program is a workshop consisting of up to eight one/two hour sessions that enable young people under the age of 18 to develop their communication and leadership skills through practical experience. In the workshops, young people learn valuable skills including evaluating their own speaking ability; preparing and giving speeches; giving impromptu talks; controlling their voice, vocabulary and gestures and giving constructive feedback.
