Does the thought of speaking at one of our meetups or WordCamps intrigue you? Do you identify as a person from a marginalized and underrepresented group (in terms of gender, race, class, caste, sexuality, ability, age, etc.) who is thinking about speaking at a WordPress Meetup or WordCamp? Do you think you don’t know or have anything worth speaking about?

The Diverse Speaker Training Group (#WPDiversity) invites you to join us for a workshop in a fun format: an Interactive, Transformational Watch Party! We will watch a video on Learn WordPress.

*** Please Note: You do NOT have to have any experience in public speaking. This workshop is for all levels of experience.

This unique, interactive Watch Party format will be facilitated by Oneal Rosero and mentors.

Together, attendees will watch the Diverse Speaker Training Workshop Part 1 on the Learn WordPress site and be invited to participate in the engaging and transformative exercises.

We will cover:

• Why speak at WordPress events?
• Explore what has stopped you from speaking in the past and how to move past your fears
• Dispelling some myths about speakers/speaking
• Coming up with topics and choosing one
• How to boost your speaking confidence
• Practice speaking in a safe space.

There will be an invitation to participate actively by:

• Working on the video exercises together and receiving live coaching from mentors and attendees
• Chatting about the material we are watching in the Zoom text chat

We call this Transformational because you will not simply be sitting and watching a video. Doing these exercises with us creates a profound shift in how you see yourself and your tech knowledge.

This event will be held in English.

We will send out the Zoom link by email and by google calendar shortly before the event.
