Pirate Public Speaking Practice

Storytelling is really two words: story vs telling.

It's not enough to have a good story: how, when, where and to whom you tell it, matters just as much.

In this session we're going to explore how to become better at public speaking: a secret weapon in the world of work, and a skill that our education system puts little to no emphasis on. Whether you want to improve your general presenting, spontaneous storytelling or have your sights set on some professional public speaking, this will be an informal chance to practice with others in short bursts and get feedback.

Similar to Toastmasters but with a pirate twist. This session will be hosted by Flora Blathwayt.

Mutiny Mentoring

Mutiny Mentoring is a chance to throw some collective weight and brain power behind the challenges we're facing as aspiring pirates. It can be a difficult and lonely path to try and bring about change, so aside from solidarity and crew support, the idea it to crowdsource advice and practical ideas.

What is your new (lockdown) rule?

While the last six weeks have been a bit shit by all accounts, this moment is also a clear opportunity to rewrite some outdated rules

So what are we going to do differently? What should we keep from lockdown and what should we deliberately let die?

As the engine room of business and bureaucracy fires up again, how are we going to protect the changes we want to keep?

This is a Be More Pirate network meet up, hosted by Alex.
