Boost Your Start-Up: Public Speaking Practice, Support & Networking

October 17 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

In this session, Gabi Glover will help you to develop your public speaking skills and network with like-minded entrepreneurs.

PLEASE NOTE: This session is part of BIPC Devon’s Boost Your Start-Up course, sessions are open to Devon-Based Start-Ups.

  • Ever felt nervous talking about yourself or your business in front of others?
  • Do you wish you were more confident?
  • Want to learn simple structures that require hardly any prep time?

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

A triple whammy special workshop event: where you i) develop your public speaking skills, ii) boost confidence and iii) network with like-minded people – all at the same time!

The 90 minute, in-person session, aims to give you tips, support and crucially the airtime in which to practice – in a safe environment, either in pairs or in small groups. No more standing around politely waiting for your turn to talk!

This is about enhancing your existing toolkit and being more visible.

Whether it is professional meetings or the odd 10-minute presentation, we all need to be able to speak clearly, comfortably, calmly and concisely. So we stand out in a crowded market.

Think how much easier your life will be – next time you are networking, having an informal conversation or indeed a 121 and someone asks a question about you or your business…

WHO IS IT FOR?

For business owners, SMEs, start-ups and freelancers who want to learn how to develop their verbal communication skillset and be a better leader, speaker or influencer.

ABOUT THE VENUE
