The 10,000 Speakers PowerTalk

PowerTalks

Every batch at 10,000 Speakers ends with a PowerTalk: a full talk in front of 40 to 60 people. Here are some of them.

Glimpses From Our PowerTalks

For eleven weeks, every speaker in these photos practised in front of the same 15 to 20 batchmates. On PowerTalk day, the room changes to 40 to 60 people they've never met. One by one, they take the mic and give a talk they've prepared, then hand it to the next speaker. Every talk is filmed, so each speaker can watch theirs back afterwards.

From the Stage

“I never imagined in my entire life that I'll perform in an open mic.”

Ankita Sahay, HR professional

Every presentation used to mean nerves, long before the deck was ready. Three months into the course, she did her first PowerTalk, then watched the video back.
