Wed, 8th December | 18:00 - 19:30 GMT (GMT+00:00)

If you're interested in Public Speaking but unsure how to get started, or are a little scared? Then come join us and hear from two experienced public speakers. They'll give you tips and advice on how to beat the fear, and how to get started.

Joining us will be: 🗣

Suze Shardlow (she/her) : "Fighting The Fear Of Public Speaking"

In tech, we hear a lot about how getting into public speaking can boost your dev career. But, for most people, the mere thought fills them with terror. They see a call for proposals (CFP) and believe they have nothing to contribute. In this talk, Suze Shardlow addresses a number of the common limiting beliefs held by developers at all levels of experience and shows you how to take those first steps.

Sophie Koonin (she/her) : "Speaking at Conferences & Meetups"

Ever wanted to speak at tech conferences, but no idea where to start? From coming up with the idea and applying for a conference through to giving the talk, here’s some tried and tested advice from people who’ve done it all!

This event will happen on Zoom, if you've RSVP'd you will receive a link on the morning of the event. If you have any questions please drop hello@codebar.io an email.
