Speaking Well In Public for Community Events

Philippa Hammond

I design and develop my courses combining my skills and techniques as an award-winning trainer, working actor and voice artist.

Building confidence

My courses on speech-making all begin with helping you to handle your nerves and build your confidence, and will teach you how to make the most of your voice, captivate and entertain your audience.

SpeakEasy

SpeakEasy is an occasional series of informal discussion events for anyone speaking in public for business, performance or a social occasion, who’d like some friendly support and advice.

SpeakEasy 1: The Elevator Speech

SpeakEasy 1: The Elevator Speech will now be held in early January.

News of the next date shortly.

In the meantime, best wishes for a successful December, Christmas and New Year.

 The Elevator Speech:

The opening gambit of all business networking is the introductory or ‘Elevator’ speech; the short answer to the question “what do you do?”

SpeakEasy 1 will explore what makes a good elevator speech, how to deliver it effectively, intrigue the listener, invite conversation and promote you and your business.

Everyone will have the opportunity to practice, discuss and refine their own speeches, share ideas and inspiration with the group and receive my personal advice.

It’s fun, friendly – and free. All you pay for is your coffee and cake.

Places will be limited – please book by email or calling 07017 037590 to ensure your place and receive details.
