Public Speaking Workshop

This workshop is designed to guide speakers through the process of creating their very own Ignite talk. Whether you’re new to public speaking or simply want to improve your presentation skills, this half-day workshop is the perfect opportunity to learn the format, refine your storytelling abilities, and boost your confidence.

Through structured sessions and interactive feedback, participants will work collaboratively to create, refine, and deliver a 5-minute talk with 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds. We start with brainstorming topics, move to developing clear talking points, and guide participants in building an engaging slide deck. Along the way, participants will present drafts to each other, gaining valuable, actionable feedback focused on storytelling, timing, and transitions.

The workshop culminates with live presentations, where participants showcase their talks in front of the group. It’s an exciting and supportive environment that allows everyone to not only present their ideas but also grow through collective feedback. Attendees will leave the session with a fully-formed Ignite talk, presentation tips, and the confidence to speak to any audience. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming Ignite event or just looking to improve your public speaking, this workshop offers an empowering growth experience.
