What We Do
Our members meet most weeks with the aim of improving public speaking and leadership skills. If you’re interested in getting better at public speaking, we can help!
Public Speaking
Holborn Speakers provides you with a structured course to build your public speaking skills, which you complete at your own pace.
Mentorship
You can get a mentor to coach you, support you with your speaking, and provide enhanced feedback to achieve your public speaking goals.
Leadership
We’ll also develop your leadership skills in areas such as mentoring, communication, and delivering feedback in order to motivate people.

“After having visited over a dozen clubs in the city I still feel there’s no other club in London providing a more fun, friendly and supportive environment for people to grow and also fall in love with the art of public speaking.”

Our Parent Organisation
Holborn Speakers is a part of Toastmasters International, a network of over 15,000 public speaking clubs.

Holborn Speakers has a tradition of producing awesome speakers… We are proud that our club is reputed to be the friendliest in the whole world! But behind the smiles there is solid determination to produce quality speakers to use their skills going forward in their chosen careers and also among family and friends. We listen we evaluate and we speak! I can not praise Holborn speakers enough because they are the ones transformed me”
