About this event
We learn public speaking through the typical routes - toastmasters, speeches, evaluation. I thought it's time to change that.
Public speaking is supposed to be fun - but that moment on any stage can be overwhelming. From persuasive to improvised settings, this series is here to help you clock your speaking practice, in a fun space.
“Under the Block” is a no-BS practice corner: quickfire speeches, ruthless role-plays, even a cats vs dogs mock panel. It’s small, it’s honest, and it’s designed to as.a creative space to explore new communication habits. This safe, beginner-friendly session is designed to let you experiment and try novel speaking and communication approaches through creative simulations and exercises.
We will go through ...
Roleplays, simulations, games, improvisation settings for your communication experiment. We will start by running through a specific approach, technique, framework before jumping into play. This can range from traditional speaking to group-based settings
No more 'exposure therapy' of just presenting non-stop on stage - it's time to explore communication the fun way!

Frequently asked questions
Absolutely - I want to create a safe space for everyone so we are keeping this to a small, cozy group of 10 attendees maximum. We will explore 1-2 simple techniques first before jumping into the scenarios!
Definitely not a typical workshop - we will start with some warm-ups and introductions before experientially learning about a speaking or communication habit. You will then be introduced to a play-based activity to apply the technique. We will end with a debrief of the session!
Nope! The activities you will do are not going to be typical pitches or presentation practices. It will be an improvised roleplay, simulation, or scenario that everyone will receive on-the-spot and explore together. Don't worry - I will be guiding you all the way!
