I have started speaking in other Java User Groups
“This group has given me immense confidence to bring out a better version of myself. I have got feedback about my talk from some of the best speakers in the industry along with mentoring support. The Q&A sessions are invaluable in terms of learning from others who have been through the same journey already. Everything is recorded, so you can listen to it in your own free time. I have also been getting help with networking and have started speaking in other Java User Groups. I have been advocating this group to all my friends and colleagues!”

I’m so glad I joined…
“I’m so glad I joined the aspiring women’s group. It’s been a great opportunity to learn from a lot of well respected and knowledgeable people in both tech and public speaking! Since joining the group I’ve ventured into doing more tech talks and I’ve received some extremely useful feedback. I’m really looking forward to giving more talks.”

learn from their experience, and be inspired by them
I really enjoyed yesterday’s Q&A session with Maria. Thank you very much for giving us privileged access to other women in the technology industry, get to learn from their experience, and be inspired by them.

…I can’t wait to get on a stage.
“It’s given me loads more confidence – it’s one thing for your friend and mentor to tell you that you’re good at this stuff, it’s another thing to hear it from external parties who aren’t as invested in me. I can’t wait to get on a stage.”

…an amazing opportunity on my journey to my first conference slot.
“The aspiring speaker groups have been an amazing opportunity on my journey to my first conference slot. It’s been great to meet with other speakers in a safe space to practice and get feedback on talks in advance. I’ve also learned a lot from the regular Q&A sessions that they have with established speakers. Learning practical tips and finding out more about their journey has been inspiring!”…the aspiring speakers community is supportive and empowering.
“Having not given a talk before, it felt like a great place to be encouraged to start and aim higher as we all go along. Since joining I have had the fortune to be the buddy of new speakers too and this has been rich and rewarding. The effort and care invested by Barry and Dom at RecWorks is truly inspiring! Good humans.”…an amazing opportunity to practice public speaking.
“I have found the Aspiring Womens Speaker group an amazing opportunity to practice public speaking for my career and personal life in a safe environment. I have already done two lightning talks, and find the feedback a boost in confidence for future talks.”
