About this Event

About the Workshop

This fast-paced session blends improv and storytelling techniques with time-tested public speaking principles. With just 10 participants, you’ll get at least THREE opportunities to practice short, impromptu speeches while receiving tactical tips and feedback. No preparation is needed — and regardless of your age or level of experience, you’ll walk away a more comfortable and confident speaker.

Why Join?

  • Hands-on practice: Speak multiple times in a safe, small-group setting
  • Practical tools: Learn techniques you can apply immediately at work or social events
  • Science-backed mindset shifts: Use proven cognitive reframing techniques to turn nerves into excitement
  • Supportive atmosphere: Emphasis on fun, experimentation, and encouragement
  • Self-Discovery: Unlock the natural public speaker and storyteller within us all

About the Instructor
I’ve been a lifelong public speaking and storytelling aficionado, having taken the stage hundreds of times as a CEO, corporate media executive, and entrepreneur — and many more times as President of Flatiron Toastmasters, one of New York’s most popular public speaking clubs. It’s been a roller coaster ride with thrilling highs and frustrating lows, all of which shaped the lessons I bring into this workshop.

Over the past year, I’ve delivered this program at schools, companies, and organizations with great feedback. Now, I’m excited to make it available to everyone.
