About this event

What if the things that make a great speaker don’t add up?

Confident and vulnerable. Polished and spontaneous. Prepared to the last word, yet completely present in the room.

At our PSA Ireland’s October event, we’re exploring the tensions at the heart of great speaking, and marking a special moment for our community.

Denise Fay will take to the stage for her first keynote since becoming President of the PSA UK & Ireland. It’s a milestone for our association, and we’d love you to be in the room for it.

Andy Green joins her with a keynote that asks the question every speaker wrestles with, sooner or later.

“What if great speakers are full of contradictions?” Because the best speakers don’t choose between opposites. They learn to hold both.

But that’s not all!

We’ll have a Showcase talk from a PSA member, followed by constructive feedback to help develop and strengthen the talk. Speaker to be announced soon.

Great speaking isn’t about being one thing on stage.

Come for the keynotes. Bring your questions. Leave with ideas you can actually use.

Join us at PSA Ireland October 24th, 09.00 to 13.00, at the Maldron Hotel, Newlands Cross, Dublin.
