Speak Like Yourself: Learn to Present Yourself with Confidence, Ease and Sass

We tend to panic about public speaking because we simply don’t know what else to do. We don’t know how to develop skills, practice, connect with an audience, or create a game plan for success.



But panic and self-doubt aren’t necessary—because public speaking can be developed, naturally, from skills we already have.



In this workshop--one of several offerings in a month dedicated to working with doubt--we’ll combine theory, practice, observation, experimentation, and group feedback to chart a path toward great public speaking that anyone can follow.

From diaphragmatic breathing, to saying what we mean, to exploring our unique public speaking personality, we’ll learn how to find our public speaking strengths, vanquish self-doubt, and speak powerfully and confidently, just like ourselves.



Led by acclaimed speaker coach, speech-writer and Prospect Heights-dweller Jeza Kaye.  Jezra’s book, Speak Like Yourself… No, Really! will be available for purchase.
