Finding Your Voice: Public Speaking with an ADHD Brain
With Jo Darby, Public Speaking Expert
Public speaking can feel like a minefield when you have ADHD. Your mind races ahead, you lose your place, you overshare or go blank entirely. And yet, you have something powerful to say.
In this energising workshop, Jo Darby, speaker, coach, and communication expert will help you unlock the confidence to speak with clarity, presence, and purpose, even when your brain won’t follow the script.
This isn’t about being polished or perfect. It’s about being real.
You’ll be in a safe, supportive environment where you will explore how ADHD wiring can both challenge and supercharge your ability to connect with an audience. Whether you're pitching your business, speaking on a podcast, leading a meeting, or sharing your story, you’ll leave this session with practical tools, mindset shifts, and a renewed belief in your voice.
Because you don’t need to speak like everyone else.
You just need to speak like you and mean it.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand how your ADHD traits impact how you speak and how to work with them, not against them.
Calm the inner critic and manage the panic that hits before or during speaking.
Prepare for speaking engagements in a way that supports your brain, not drains it.
Communicate with authenticity, impact, and presence without needing to be polished or perfect.
Speak with more confidence in business settings, from client calls to stages.
