Description
Does the thought of speaking at a Magento event intrigue you? The focus of this hands-on, online workshop will be to generate Magento-related topics to give a talk on, boost your speaking confidence, and allow you to practice speaking in a safe space. At the end of the workshop you will have a few ideas for talks, an outline on one topic, a title, a pitch/proposal for applying to events, a bio, and a chance to practice speaking.
***You do NOT have to have any experience in public speaking. This workshop is for all levels of experience.
This one workshop will be two 2.5 hour sessions, each a week apart.
