What we’re about
Confidence building and communication skills.
Open to anyone.
Hello, I am Jean-Marc Pierson, the organiser. I used to lead Speed Public Speaking workshops on meetup between 2013 and 2016.
The format was very short (20 seconds, half a minute) impromptu speeches on easy topics followed by feed back and doing it again. It was fun and the opportunity to connect with others authentically.
I didn't work hard enough to turn this adventure into a proper business, and I promoted myself as an astrologer instead. (You don't need to share this interest of mine to join this group!)
I feel like doing it again, with more emphasis on confidence building and communication skills than strictly public speaking.
There will be free events and paying ones later, according to demand.
More about me: I was a terribly shy boy and young man. Overcoming this was vital to me. I walked the path. I trained performing arts: music, singing, storytelling. In London I trained public speaking with Toastmasters.
I am also an astrologer. I love metaphors and symbols. I wrote a book about it.
