Public Speaking for Leaders

An offline workshop series for team leads and managers

Dates: 20/02, 20/03, 20/04
Time: 19:00-20:30
Location: Limassol
Cost: 10$

A practical toolkit for leadership communication:
how to speak clearly, handle difficult conversations, and run meetings that actually work.

When people move into leadership roles, most of their job becomes communication.

We help make those conversations structured, manageable, and less stressful.

This series is designed for

First-time managers

Professionals who have recently stepped into leadership roles and discovered that most of the job is about conversations, not tasks

Team leads & engineering managers

Leaders who regularly run meetings, give feedback, and share updates with teams and stakeholders

Founders and product leaders in growing teams

Leaders who need clear, structured communication without overload or micromanagement
