Meet the expert. Falling in LOVE with Public Speaking

Welcome to another edition of Meet the expert, which brings you a motivating speaker

Falling in LOVE with Public Speaking session (beginners).

PONY Express blurb:

PONY Express teaches in an interactive & experiential way. Experiential learning is a high-impact educational training practice. It’s a learner-centered approach that gets you off your chair, out of your comfort zone, actively involved and responsible for your progress in a safe environment. This training format guarantees an immediate and noticeable difference in your communication approach.

The philosophy behind PONY Express is the concept of risking something. The 1860s American PONY Express was a mail delivery service where young PONY riders like Buffalo Bill risk their lives delivering a message. Same today. It might feel daunting to present in the board room, pitch to a panel of serious investors or a room full of industry peers – will you be impactful enough to present your ideas? With the right training, nothing has to be left to chance.

Annik blurb:

Annik is the founder of PONY Express Speakers and has over 30 years experience in being scared of speaking in public and declining speaking opportunities due to the fear of being judged in front of peers.This all reached its climax in 2011 when she decided ‘enough is enough' and PONY Express Speakers was born. Annik loves the philosophy that experience is the best teacher; hence she is a great promoter of experiential learning through audience interaction and group work. PONY Express is now one of the leading Speaking Clubs in London and they run a variety of events, from their monthly club night, a beginners day, an intensive 2 day training and a 6-month speaking accelerator programme.

This session will present you some of the most powerful techniques in order to control nerves and come across as confident in front of any audience.
