Whether you’re someone who would like to get more comfortable in your skills as a speaker or you’re an organizer looking to diversify your roster of speakers and find for ways to support those in your group with training, I can’t strongly enough recommend that you use these workshops and participate in discussion groups for them. > This workshop is for people from marginalized or underrepresented groups who are > thinking about speaking at WordPress events. You do not need to have any experience > in public speaking, and this workshop is for all levels of experience. #### Focus Introduction and topic selection. #### Learning Objectives for this workshop * Understand myths that prevent people from speaking publicly * Identify any of your personal fears that have stopped you from public speaking * Generate several topics that you could speak about * Learn the different types of talk formats **[You can watch the video here!](https://learn.wordpress.org/workshop/diverse-speaker-training-workshop-part-1/)** #### Comprehension questions * What are some common myths that prevent people from speaking publicly? * What is impostor syndrome?  * What are some topics that you came up with during your brainstorm? Were you able to choose and refine any topics? * What are some of the different talk formats? Are there any in particular that you would like to give? #### Talk about it Now that you’ve taken something away from the workshop I hope you’ll take this all a step further and join a live discussion group to discuss the content with others who have watched it as well. [You can find discussion groups specific to any of the workshops you find on Learn.WordPress here on Meetup.com.](https://www.meetup.com/learn-wordpress-discussions/events/) You’re also welcome to bring your thoughts and questions here in the comments!
