Thank you everyone for coming along to our first public speaking workshop of the year! We had such a great turnout, and we hope everyone learnt a lot and met some great people 🤗

Ibby gave a great all in one, comprehensive guide on finding your voice and delivering a great speech, which was followed by members applying their newly learnt knowledge in new years themed table topics 🤠

With a super chaotic and intense mafia game to end the night, the session was a great success 💯

Hi everyone, welcome back from the winter break ❄️ I hope your assessments/exams haven’t completely destroyed you 😃

Our first session back is an exciting workshop by our VC of Education, Ibby!!

He’ll be teaching us about finding our own unique speaking voice, and properly mastering it, as well as how to create an impactful stage presence - borrowing from the art of performative action 🎭

This is great for all level of speakers, so make sure to come along 🤗

And of course, we have some table topics after, so you can put your newly learned skills to the test!

Bring your friends along for a great time, we hope to see you there ☺️🫵

To end off the 2024 year, here’s one last post dedicated to our end of year dinner social! 🥘 We were so happy with how many people came and enjoyed the delicious food at the Royal Watan Kashmiri restaurant
