Group Therapy #5 November 6, 2025

Want to feel more confident in front of an audience or the media?

Group Therapy is a free 45-minute Zoom workshop where you can practice, experiment, and get constructive feedback in a safe, supportive setting. It’s ideal for:

• CEOs and senior leaders who need to inspire and persuade

• Campaigners aiming to influence decision-makers

• Professionals whose work involves selling, meeting the public, prospects, or stakeholders

Each session gives you the opportunity to:

• Road-test a presentation or speech

• Step into a mock media interview

• Share slides or engagement techniques for feedback

• Ask questions about challenges you’re facing

• Or, if you don’t have a set piece to bring, try tackling a surprise topic just for practice

The sessions are hosted by Brett de Hoedt — a presentation coach, media trainer, emcee, and former journalist who has worked with more than 1,000 professionals. Brett keeps things informal and interactive. Expect peer-to-peer learning, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way.

When & where:

• First Thursday of every month

• 10:30 a.m. (Sydney / Melbourne / Canberra / Hobart)

• On Zoom
