About this event

This November we welcome two fantastic speakers to the stage, to help everyone Speak More and Speak Better.

Helping us with Speak More we have the fantastic David Abbott, the author of How to Price Your Platypus. If you’ve ever wondered about how to price your services, you don’t want to miss his talk as he shares his wisdom.

And it doesn’t stop there, Speak Better is covered by the fabulous Dr Lynda Shaw inviting us to The Brainy Speakers Party, showing us how to:

  • Understand the neuroscience of different dynamics in the audience.
  • How to leverage those dynamics.
  • And add more power for your toolbox.

Here at PSA Yorkshire we’re friendly, fun and very down to Earth, so please come and join us. You’ll be very welcome.

This is an event not to be missed – Can’t wait to see you there!
