FREE Workshop for The Money Ticketholders:

Took place on Saturday 26 October 2024 at the Living Lab in ARU Peterborough.

Anyone purchasing a ticket to The Money, whether a Player or a Silent Witness, was invited to join us for a free workshop exploring the power of oracy. Whether it’s debate, public speaking, interview or presentation, speech has the power to inspire and influence.

In this two-hour masterclass run by professional actors, participants learned:

  • Understanding Oracy & Public Speaking

  • Craft a Constructive Speech

  • Elevator Pitch Glow Up

  • How to argue professionally

The workshop was designed to be fun, inspiring and confidence-building.

Vicky Wild

Vicky Wild is a public speaking trainer, professional actor, presenter, writer and corporate facilitator. She trained in Acting at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and studied Drama at Exeter University. Her background in performing on stage, screen and radio has given her a unique insight into the art of public speaking and how to captivate audiences.

Now she works alongside organisations such as Deloitte, Lloyds Banking Group, Cisco, Aon and Clifford Chance to deliver inspiring public speaking and careers skills workshops in schools, colleges and universities. Their aim is to boost confidence, raise aspirations and effectively prepare young people for the world of work. As a result, she knows what top apprenticeship and graduate employers are looking for when they recruit – the ability to communicate ideas, collaborate and negotiate are especially highly-sought after qualities!

Vicky grew up in the Peterborough area and is committed to sharing the knowledge and experiences she’s acquired throughout her career (that she wished she’d known sooner!) with the next generation.
