Public Speaking

ABOUT US

Whether you’re interviewing for internships, pitching your start-up, or simply making new friends, communication is at the core of it all. It shapes the way we interact with others and defines the relationships we build. The LSESU Public Speaking Society is a new society at LSE aiming to create a friendly and welcoming environment that develops its members’ communication skills.

Building Confidence. Empowering Voices. Challenging Limits.

The LSESU Public Speaking Society has three main objectives: 

1. To develop our members’ confidence by providing regular opportunities for public speaking and constructive mentorship that ensures continuous improvement.

2. To establish a platform at LSE where students can openly express their perspectives and engage in thoughtful discussions across various topics.

3. To challenge experienced speakers to experiment with advanced communication techniques and tackle complex subjects.

EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

• Biweekly Meetings: You can join these meetings to practice your public speaking through a prepared speech, evaluation speech, or impromptu speech. 

• Guest Speakers: High profile guest speakers will be joining us to offer their advice on how you can improve your communication abilities. 

• Competitions: We plan on having internal and external competitions with two main categories: prepared speeches & impromptu speeches. 

• Interview Mentorship: We will offer an interview mentorship scheme, where you’ll be able to book mock interviews to practice your technicals with experienced speakers.

• Public Speaking Mentorship: We will offer mentorship for all members interested in improving their communication abilities.

MEMBERSHIP

To make public speaking accessible to all, the membership for this society is £2. For getting access to mentorship, high profile speakers, and practice sessions, I’d say its a pretty good deal!
