Bring the one that is coming up

An interview where you blank on an easy question
Asking for a raise without saying sorry first
A presentation where you rush and lose the room
Wanting to say something in a meeting and not saying it
A talk or a panel you agreed to and now dread
Being asked what you do and fumbling it

Open Mic

Your first one is free.

This is how you try SpeakingLab. One session, online, 60 minutes. You will speak, and you do not need to prepare a thing. Come unprepared, that is the point.

It is a one-time taster. To keep going, join a cohort.

One hour, start to finish.

First 10 min
Everyone speaks for a minute. No warm-up, no exceptions.
Next 20 min
A game, in small groups. Everyone is in it. You are not told the rules first.
Next 20 min
A harder round. Still everyone speaking, nobody just watching.
Last 10 min
You leave with one thing that worked and one thing to fix.

The cohort: ₹2,400.

Six weeks, small group, the same people every week. We film and score you in week one and again in week six. You get reading material once you are in.

Average score across six dimensions. Illustrative.

Ask us for the next start date.

Get your employer to pay.

Most companies have a learning budget that goes unspent. Ask what your allowance is. Call it a capability investment, not a course. Tell them what you will use it for. We send a certificate and your scored report to attach.

One email when the next session is scheduled. Nothing else.
