About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours 30 minutes

In this 4.5 hour Workshop Lead Coach Heather will be covering the foundations of debate and public speaking and how we can improve those skills to make sure everyone is capable of speaking up, no matter whether it’s in one of our public debates or at work.

This workshop is specifically for women and there will be space to explore why public speaking can be particularly challenging and coming up with solutions that feel authentic to each individual.

The workshop will look at body language and voice work for public speaking, as well as how to turn a written speech into a truly engaging presentation for any audience. It will also cover responding to questions with accuracy and confidence.

Some specific skills that will be looked at are

- structuring and writing speeches

- bringing a written speech to life

- body language

- breathing and projection

At Debate London we train you to speak in public, think strategically, and deal with conflict. We offer members regular opportunities to participate in our monthly, free-to-attend debates, that are open to all!

Our events tend to fall under 2 categories:

  • Public Speaking and Debate Training workshops, where we train our members to defend arguments in their own words by develop a range of skills
  • Free-to-attend Public debates, where every 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month we debate the issues dividing public opinion. This year topics ranged from NATO membership for Ukraine, to deposing Boris Johnson, falling UK birth rates - and fake news. Topics are expressed not as a question, but as a proposal, that the audience must vote to accept or reject after hearing all the arguments.
