Have you ever wondered what your world would look like if you could:
1. Be part of a distinctively supportive and fun community that encourages each other to tangibly improve together?
2. Connect on a deeper wholehearted level to the people you speak to, and become a top highly influential Communicator and Public speaker?
3. Speak to any person or group of people with high confidence, high relevance and high influence?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then SPACE is for you!
SPACE is for people who are willing to grow and help others grow; be creative, go beyond the basics of public speaking, and start creating a more significant, more peaceful and more plentiful world for you and the people you interact with, through active listening and effective Communication and Public Speaking.
At SPACE you’ll learn both the practical/technical skills and structure for great speeches, as well as the mindset to be 100% present, focused and connected to your audience while giving your speech. Attending consistently is vital to the learning process!
Our concept:
Community, Connection and Communication, through practice and feedback of relevant, effective and influential communication; aimed at helping improve our communities, and this way help the world become a better place.
SPACE meetings consist of two hours of experiential "Practice & Feedback" in a safe large & small group setting. A typical session will involve improvising various speech genres, such as:
Storytelling
General topics
Comedy
Business
Debating
All participants will deliver assignments where every performance is constructively evaluated by a friendly, open and supportive audience.
After the session, you’ll be welcome to stay longer and enjoy more tea, network and make compatible friends :)
Already have a speech you’d like to practice? Let us know, we’ll be happy to listen to it and give you helpful feedback!
Why is it called SPACE?
1. We meet at a physical space to be able to truly connect face to face (=the key to a great speech)
2. We are a safe space without judgment, errors or criticisms; we yet strive for high-value, sound feedback and meaningful growth - fully committed to facilitating space for everyone to be their true authentic selves.
3. We provide a space for functional growth of your confidence and skills to present in front of others, utilizing inner-self wisdom.
