TYP Professional Development Workshop Series | How to Be You Onstage.

Join us on November 18th for Reclaim. Frame. Proclaim. How to Be You Onstage. – our last PD Workshop of the year! According to the National Social Anxiety Center, "the fear of public speaking is the most common phobia ahead of death." Reasons include fear of judgment, fear of making mistakes, fear of embarrassment, a lack of experience or preparation, and social anxiety. And it doesn't help that most public speaking advice tells you to be more polished, more professional, more like everyone else on that stage, essentially amplifying every one of those fears. But the truth is that you already have a powerful voice. You already have stories worth telling. It isn't about becoming some carbon copy of what we've been fed is a 'good public speaker'; it's about reclaiming who you've always been, framing your message in a way that immediately establishes trust, and proclaiming it to the audience with confidence. Speaker Frank Velásquez Jr., Founder of 4 Da Hood, staunchly believes that speakers who show up as themselves are the ones who genuinely move audiences. In this Lunch and Learn, Frank is gonna share some easy strategies that lean into your natural speaking strengths and build a public speaking approach that feels like YOU. You'll learn practical techniques to own any stage without losing yourself in the process. You'll walk away with a framework to personalize your speaking style, the courage to show up fully when it's your turn to speak, and the confidence to drop that mic. Let’s reclaim your voice so you can speak with more authenticity, courage, and joy! 🥗 A light lunch will be provided.
