The women’s club for building public speaking skills...
What if public speaking felt easier… and even fun?
Whether it’s leading a meeting, presenting your ideas, or standing on a stage, most people will admit their hearts race when all eyes are on them.
Here’s the thing… for most people, being a confident public speaker isn’t something you’re born with.
It’s something you practice.
That’s why Mic Drop Club exists.

It’s not another stuffy class or high-pressure seminar.
Mic Drop Club is a supportive space for women to practice public speaking, in real life, with real feedback, and surrounded by women who are rooting for you.
Here’s what you’ll find inside the club:
✅ A safe, encouraging community (no judgment here)
✅ Real-world practice (not just theory)
✅ Feedback you can actually use
✅ Monthly themes & interactive lessons
✅ Step-by-step skill-building exercises
WHAT IS MIC DROP CLUB?
Monthly Virtual + Quarterly In-Person Events in Portland, OR and other cities around the country!
Did you know almost 70% of professional event speakers are male?
It’s not because women aren’t ready.
It’s because too many women just haven’t had the right support & space to practice and grow their skills.
Mic Drop Club is here to change that… starting now - with you!
WHY THIS MATTERS…
You don’t need to wait until you “feel ready”…
You just need a mic - and the right community that has your back!
Meet Your Portland Chapter Host:
For over 20 years, I’ve worked with professionals and teams to help them tell their stories with clarity and impact. As a speaker, facilitator, and storytelling consultant, I’ve had the privilege of leading workshops for Fortune 500 brands, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs who all share the same challenge: wanting to be heard and understood.
What I’ve learned is that confidence isn’t something you wait to feel… it’s something you build through practice.
That’s why I’m so excited to host Mic Drop Club in Portland… because when women have the tools and the community to gain confidence and develop their speaking skills, everything changes for the better.
