Break Free from Public Speaking Fear in Just 2.5 Hours
Experience the mindset shift that changes everything about speaking up
Does This Sound Familiar?
Someone asks "Any questions?" Your stomach drops.
You stay silent in meetings. Not because you have nothing to say. Because saying it feels impossible.
You've declined opportunities that needed presenting. Watched others speak while you wondered why you can't.
It's not about your skills. It's what you believe will happen when you speak.
Those "confident speakers"? They don't have better techniques. They have different thoughts.
And thoughts can be changed.
What Happens in 2.5 Hours
This isn't presentation training. This is fear work.
We start where the fear lives: your mind.
In this workshop, you will:
Understand your unique relationship with speaking anxiety through the Breaking the Silence Quadrant Assessment
Identify the one specific barrier that';s been holding you back (not the vague "I'm just nervous" but the real, specific thought)
Create a clear vision of yourself as a confident speaker (what becomes possible when that barrier disappears?)
Challenge one limiting belief using the A.C.T. framework (Accept, Create, Transform)
Take brave action by delivering a 30-second speech to the group (yes, really, and you'll surprise yourself)
Leave with one concrete commitment for the next two weeks (because transformation requires action, not just awareness)
The goal isn't perfection. It's proof.
Proof that you can speak even when you're shaking. Proof that the fear doesn't control you.
That shift? That changes everything.
The A.C.T. Framework: Accept, Create, Transform
Most public speaking training focuses on technique: stand here, gesture like this, structure your talk this way.
That's useful. Eventually.
But if you're genuinely afraid to speak, technique won't help. You need to address the fear first.
That's where the A.C.T. framework comes in.
ACCEPT: You'll name the specific thought stopping you. Not "I'm nervous." The actual belief. We can't address what we don't acknowledge.
CREATE: You'll envision yourself without that barrier. What becomes possible? Who do you become? Vision creates direction.
TRANSFORM: You'll act. One 30-second speech. One two-week commitment. Small. Brave. Because insight without action is just thinking.
This framework has helped dozens move from "I could never" to "I actually want to."
Today, you experience it yourself.
Is This Workshop Right for You?
This workshop is perfect if you:
Avoid speaking up in meetings even when you have something valuable to contribute
Feel physically anxious (racing heart, shaky voice, sweaty palms) at the thought of presenting
Have turned down opportunities because they required public speaking
Want to understand why you feel this way (not just be told to "get over it")
Are ready to do the internal work, not just learn techniques
Prefer a small group setting (maximum 12 participants) where you feel safe
This workshop might not be right if you:
Only want presentation tips and techniques (without addressing mindset)
Expect to become a confident speaker after one session (this is a starting point, not a finish line)
Aren't willing to step slightly outside your comfort zone (you will be asked to give a 30-second speech)
Are looking for a large, anonymous workshop (we create an intimate, supportive environment)
Nervous about attending? That's exactly what we'll work with. Come anyway.

Meet Your Facilitator: Anthea Armar
I wasn't always confident speaking.
Twenty years in learning and development. Four years specialising in speaking anxiety. Network Rail, Google, Ernst & Young.
But credentials don't matter as much as this: I've lived the transformation.
I know what it's like when your throat closes before speaking. When opportunities feel too terrifying to take.
And I know what it's like on the other side.
That's why I created the A.C.T. Framework. It addresses what's really happening: the thoughts creating the fear.
I'm not here to make you a TED speaker today. I'm here to help you take the first lifechanging step.
If you're tired of staying silent, I'd be honoured to guide you.

Frequently Asked Questions
"I'm terrified of speaking in front of others. Will I be forced to talk?"
No one forces you. But transformation requires facing fear in a safe space.
You'll be asked to give a 30-second speech. You choose the topic. You prepare. Everyone else is doing the same thing.
It's designed to be challenging but achievable.
"What if I get emotional or anxious during the workshop?"
That's normal. This work brings up feelings.
The space is safe and non-judgemental. Step away if you need to. Sit quietly if you need to.
Your wellbeing comes first.
"Will I be a confident speaker by the end of the workshop?"
No. Anyone promising that is lying.
Confidence builds over time.
What you will have: clarity on your barrier, one tool to challenge it, evidence you can speak despite fear, a two-week plan.
That's the foundation. The rest comes with work.
"I've tried public speaking courses before and they didn't help. Why would this be
different?"
Most courses teach technique without addressing fear.
It's like teaching swimming during a panic attack.
This workshop starts with the panic. We address thoughts, beliefs, fear first.
Technique comes later.
"What's the cancellation policy?"
We understand that circumstances change.
If you need to cancel:
- More than 7 days before the workshop: Full refund
- 3-7 days before: 50% refund or transfer to another date
- Less than 3 days: No refund, but you can transfer to another date if space is
available
"Will photos or videos be taken during the workshop?"
Yes, we may capture photos or short video clips for marketing purposes (social media, website, promotional materials). During the booking process, you'll be asked to consent to this. If you prefer not to be photographed or filmed, you can opt out and we'll ensure you're not included in any recordings.
"What if I don't know my Breaking the Silence Quadrant yet?"
That's fine. You'll complete the assessment at the start of the workshop. It takes less than 10 minutes. If you've already completed it before booking, you'll be given a special activity to deepen your insights during that time.
"Can I bring a colleague or friend?"
Absolutely. Many people find it helpful to attend with someone they trust. Each person needs to book and pay individually, but you're welcome to go through the experience together.
"What happens after I book?"
You'll receive an immediate confirmation email with all the details. Over the next few days, you'll get a series of emails to prepare you for the workshop, including what to expect, what to bring, and how to get the most out of the experience. For virtual workshops, you'll receive the Zoom link 24 hours before the session.
