Group Therapy #2 August 7, 2025
Free public speaking and media interview coaching?
Sure why not?
Group Therapy for public speakers and media spokespeople aims to give people a chance to ask some questions, rehearse and provide gain valuable feedback.
It’s lead by newly-annointed “group therapist” and media trainer Brett de Hoedt. He’s an emcee, speaker and former journalist who has trained 1000+ people to be better communicators.
The 45-minute Zoom sessions typically focus on one aspect of presentation or media interviews but are largely devoted to participants trailling new techniques and raising their concerns.
Brett uses the term “group therapy” because this is a loosely formatted session in which a small group of people drive the agenda and offer each other feedback. Brett leads the session but it is not a class or training session.
Group Therapy is utterly free with no upsells, endless self-promotion, merchandise sales et al.
Zero bollocks - just a fun, supportive 45-minute session.
Yep. Free.
Group Therapy happens at 10.30am (Sydney / Melburne time) on the first Thursday of the month. (Except September which will be Thursday September 11 but let’s not get bogged down on details…)
Once you sign up for the Lowdown you’ll be sent all future links as they approach, so there’s no need to sign up or register each time.
Rules of engagement:
Show up and join in. Take to the ‘stage’ offer feedback or both.
Meanwhile - spread the word via your social media and networks - the more the merrier.
If you don’t have any specific material to prepare for you can always set yourself the challenge of grappling with an unfamiliar issue and presenting it. Two suggestions:
