Off The Cuff: Public speaking workshop for business leaders

Immerse yourself in an evening of interactive and engaging networking and learning aimed at sharpening your public speaking skills.
Is it a networking event? Is it a workshop? We think it's both!

Say goodbye to boring, bland "Hi what do you do?" style events and say hello to real connections, and a room full of people who are dedicated to their own personal growth.

Off The Cuff is for business leaders who want to sound credible, natural and compelling in meetings, conversations, pitches and presentations... and who understand that in an AI world, it's more important than ever to find your authentic voice!

We don't think you'll have ever been to a networking event like this before...

Hosted by Satya Morarji and Sarah Davies, award-winning speakers and current TEDxWigan coaches, this session blends guided networking, on-the-spot speaking practice, and live coaching so you build skills and relationships in the same room.

OTC is structured enough to feel professional, playful enough to keep you engaged, and practical enough to make an immediate difference.

What to expect

• Guided networking with substance: Smart prompts and formats that reveal real people, not rehearsed elevator pitches.
• Short, supported speaking rounds: Practise thinking on your feet and sounding credible under pressure.
• Actionable coaching: Precise, practical feedback and tips from Satya and Sarah to help you sound authentic, credible and memorable.
• A safe, energising environment: Respectful, upbeat and inclusive... We're serious about growth and never stuffy!
