Group Therapy #6 December 4, 2025

This is your final chance for 2025 (at least).

Public speaking. Media interviews. PowerPoint slides.

If any of these make you sweat, you need Group Therapy — a free 45-minute Zoom session for people who want to sound brilliant without needing actual therapy afterwards.

Who’s it for?

• CEOs who’d rather face shareholders than microphones

• Campaigners who need to move hearts and stubborn politicians

• Anyone whose job involves humans (that’s you)

What goes on in “therapy”?

• Practice a speech without being heckled

• Try a pretend media grilling (no gotcha questions… unless you want them)

• Share slides, ideas, or audience-participation ideas

• Or turn up empty-handed and be challenged with something random like “Defend tariffs in three minutes” or “Why the world isn’t doomed after all.”

Your therapist (host) is Brett de Hoedt — former journalist, media trainer, MC, presentation coach, and all-round chatter-wrangler who’s helped 1,000+ people speak with more oomph.

🗓 When: First Thursday of the month
