What is the Ignition Program:
The Ignition Program offers post-secondary students a 10-week program that gives access to training, mentorship, resources, ecosystem connections; and honorariums to support personal and business development. Students will be awarded $10 for each session they engage with!
What’s in this session:
In this session, we’ll focus on two things every student needs but rarely gets to practice:
We’ll break down *why* speaking feels so intimidating — especially in interviews or group settings — and go over simple ways to stay calm and grounded. Then, we’ll shift gears and practice impromptu speaking using easy, no-pressure frameworks that help you organize your thoughts quickly and sound more confident.
You’ll walk away with tools to manage nerves and speak up — whether it’s for a class presentation, a job interview, or just introducing yourself in a room full of people.
Come ready to learn, reflect, and try it out for yourself in a fun, supportive space.
