Ask Me Anything – Find your speaking territory and build a talk people remember

Max Hopkinson, Founder of The Keynote Club

Thursday 21 May 2026, 09:00 - 17:00 BST

This is for anyone who knows they have something worth saying, but keeps getting stuck on how to say it. Max Hopkinson will be in the channel all day helping you work out what you actually have the right to speak on, how to shape it into something solid, and how to show up and deliver it with confidence. No credentials required to join in. Just bring the questions you’ve been sitting on 🙂

This session is for you if you:

  • Want to speak more but don’t know where to start
  • Have a topic in mind but can’t quite nail the shape of it
  • Feel like you’re copying other people’s angles instead of finding your own
  • Have spoken before but want to feel less like you’re reinventing the wheel every time

Come armed with questions like:

  • What do I actually have the right to speak on?
  • How do I find the overlap between my experience and what an audience needs?
  • How do I build one talk I can keep using, rather than starting from scratch each time?
  • How do I open and close in a way that lands without sounding rehearsed?
  • I’ve panicked on stage before, how do I rebuild trust in myself?
  • How do I turn speaking into something that genuinely supports my career?
