A friendly place to learn public speaking
Learn to speak confidently in front of others
Do you go into “panic mode” at the thought of speaking to a group of people? Are you dreading a speech at an upcoming wedding or feel you are held back in work because you struggle to communicate with customers or your work mates. Do you wish you could lose the nerves, capture people’s attention and inspire others? Maybe you are already a confident speaker, but you lose the message and fail to stay on track.
There is help. But you need to practice at it and we at Ferndown Speakers can provide the support to enable you to overcome your difficulties. We can provide help and guidance, and somewhere to practice, together with constructive feedback?

Ferndown Speakers is a non-profit public speaking club in Ferndown run by a volunteer committee.

It can be stressful speaking to large or small groups or even one to one. We can help you overcome those fears and start to enjoy speaking. Plus you’ll meet a great range of fellow members and have the chance to develop management and leadership skills too.
