Where Speakers Find Their Voice

After years of coaching aspiring speakers, SPEAC Success Founder, Shannon, noticed a recurring theme: people craved more opportunities to step onto a stage and put their newfound skills and confidence to the test. That’s where the idea for Drop The Mic Night was born.

 

Shannon created this platform to offer aspiring speakers a safe space to share their stories, build their confidence and take their first steps toward their speaking goals - whether that’s engaging local audiences or dreaming of larger stages.

 

Speakers selected for Drop The Mic Night participate for free, and receive complimentary coaching and feedback to help them shine. This event is about nurturing talent, fostering growth and providing the support needed to kickstart their speaking journey in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Experience Mic-Dropping Moments

Our Drop The Mic Night events have been pure magic! Across multiple unforgettable events, aspiring speakers from near and far have lit up the stage, captivating packed houses with their passion, energy and incredible stories.
