DO YOU KNOW THAT FEELING?

You have something to say, but the words get stuck in your throat. Or, on the day of the presentation, your heart starts beating so fast that you forget what you wanted to say.

Silence during meetings. Nervousness before a presentation. The feeling that others speak more confidently and fluently, while you just watch from the sidelines.

This happens not because you have nothing to say, but because you lack practice and a safe space to gain it.

I invite you to a practical public speaking course in Klaipėda (at the Culture Factory), starting on September 30.

COURSE INFORMATION

• Start Date: September 30•
Time: Wednesdays, 6:00 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. (8 sessions, once a week)
• Location: Kultūros fabrikas,
Klaipėda• Group size: An intimate group of up to 16 participants—so that everyone actually speaks, rather than just listening.

LECTURER: JULIJA BRODSKĖ

I have been a member and president of the “Toastmasters Klaipėda” public speaking club for many years. I have conducted hundreds of one-on-one consultations and group training sessions. I have helped clients prepare for important conferences and startup pitches, manage their nerves, and regain their self-confidence.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Speak at meetings without fear and clearly express your opinion;
• Quickly organize your thoughts, even without preparation;
• Control your body language and voice so that you look and sound convincing;
• Feel comfortable in front of any audience—from a work presentation to a celebratory speech.

REAL CHANGES, NOT JUST ANOTHER ROUND OF “TRAINING”

My goal isn’t to overwhelm you with dry theory or a pile of slides that you’ll forget the moment you walk out the door. I want to create a space where you can truly break through: overcome your inner barriers, feel the power of your voice, and discover your own authentic speaking style.

Here, we won’t be analyzing textbook-style speech—we’ll be speaking practically from the very first minute. Each week, you’ll take a solid step forward until your nervousness transforms from paralyzing fear into the driving force that helps you capture your audience’s attention and earn their trust.

WHY A GROUP?

Because courage isn’t born from theory, but from practice with others. When you see that others are just as nervous as you are. When you receive support, not judgment. When you try out a new technique in a safe environment—before applying it in real life.
