The Speaking Adventure Workshops
What is it?
There’s more to public speaking than developing a professional persona, pretending to be somebody else, or just getting by. The more authentically we step forwards, the more we grow in real confidence, the ability to connect with our audiences, and create the impact we want. This is the adventure of unlocking your natural ability to engage people, and it will show you a way to speak which is more grounded, uplifting and real.
The Speaking Adventure is a 4-day training split into two 2-day workshops. Part 1 can be taken on it’s own as an introduction to authentic public speaking.
We work in a small group (4-10 people), where we create a supportive atmosphere and you can receive the right amount of attention. You’ll get a series of mini-adventures – chances to speak, explore, play and have a go at stuff. And you can go at your own pace. There’s no need to do anything you don’t feel excited about.
Who’s it for?
The workshop is appropriate for people of any level of speaking experience.
Your interest might be to develop your professional speaking skills, or it might be in personal development.
You might be new to speaking in groups, or a hesitant speaker wanting to develop more core confidence. Or you may be an experienced speaker wanting to expand your range – be more authentic, or speak with more depth and purpose.
The only requirement is a curiosity to learn something new about yourself and what you’re capable of.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"I wanted to discover how to become a more authentic public speaking presence on stage and after 2 days I left feeling that presence when walking down the street, at work, at home and on a stage. Millie is a gifted facilitator and creates a great environment to learn and explore, with some challenging and enjoyable exercises that helped me to learn through being more attuned my experiences. I highly recommend The Speaking Adventure for anyone who aspires to being their true authentic self while being in front of an audience."
