LONDON – CoachTAC is holding a free Public Speaking Foundation Workshop in central London today, Friday 25 September 2026, giving aspiring speakers, presenters, professionals and entrepreneurs a practical introduction to speaking with confidence and impact.
The two-hour session, sponsored by TAC Foundation, is scheduled for 6:30pm to 8:30pm at 146 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4BY. The workshop is designed as an accessible starting point for people who want to become more comfortable speaking before an audience, at work, in business, at community events or in front of a microphone.
Hosted by CoachTAC, the foundation workshop focuses on four core areas: confidence, voice and delivery, presence, and audience engagement. These are the building blocks that can make the difference between simply having something to say and being able to communicate it in a way that people can hear, understand and remember.
A practical starting point for better speaking
Public speaking is often treated as a specialist skill reserved for keynote speakers or media personalities, but the ability to communicate clearly is useful far beyond the stage. Professionals need it in meetings and presentations. Entrepreneurs need it when pitching ideas and representing their businesses. Community leaders, masters of ceremonies, radio presenters and trainers all rely on the same fundamental ability to connect with an audience.
For participants whose main goal is simply to speak more confidently and communicate more effectively, the Foundation Workshop is intended to provide a strong practical base. Understanding how to manage nerves, use the voice deliberately, organise a message and engage listeners can significantly improve everyday speaking situations.
The session is also deliberately introductory. It gives participants a chance to understand what effective public speaking involves before deciding whether they want to take the skill further.
What comes next for aspiring professional speakers?
For anyone who wants to pursue public speaking professionally, the foundation workshop is only the beginning. The next stage is structured training and sustained practice.
A more advanced course can take learners deeper into areas such as speech structure, storytelling, stage presence, vocal technique, audience psychology, handling questions, speaking to camera, presenting on radio or television, moderating events, mastering ceremonies, building a speaker profile and preparing for paid speaking opportunities.
Professional speaking also requires repetition. Confidence develops through practice, feedback and increasingly challenging opportunities to speak. That means moving from understanding the principles to rehearsing them, receiving coaching, refining delivery and learning how to adapt a message for different audiences and settings.
CoachTAC says participants who want to move beyond the introductory level will need to enrol in a more comprehensive course designed to develop those professional skills in greater depth.
Sponsored by TAC Foundation
The free nature of today’s workshop has been made possible through sponsorship from TAC Foundation, supporting access to practical personal and professional development opportunities.
The initiative reflects a simple idea: learning how to speak with confidence can open doors. It can help people advocate for themselves, explain their ideas, lead teams, build businesses, participate more fully in their communities and take opportunities that might otherwise feel out of reach.
Today’s Public Speaking Foundation Workshop is therefore both a training session and an invitation to begin. For some participants, two focused hours may be enough to transform the way they approach presentations, meetings and public communication. For others, it may mark the first step towards becoming a trained speaker, presenter, facilitator or master of ceremonies.
