Where Speakers Get Sharper, Funnier, Braver…
Every Single Week.
You can read all the books.
You can binge TED Talks.
You can rewrite your talk until it’s smoother than a dolphin’s kneecap.
But nothing — absolutely nothing — improves your speaking faster than deliberate practice inside a supportive, relaxed, expertly coached room.
Welcome to The Skills Lab Membership: your weekly laboratory for becoming a more captivating, confident, creative speaker…
Skills Lab is a live, coached, experiential practice room where you sharpen one powerful skill each week through short, playful, high-impact exercises.
It’s not a webinar. It’s not a course.
It’s an essential workout for speakers.
Each week we focus on a single micro-skill — from emotional storytelling to humour, segues, and stage presence — and you’ll learn by doing in a small, supportive group.
You’ll experiment, play, mess up, get feedback, and leave better than you arrived.
Think of it as your weekly speaking gym — minus the Lycra!
Speaking is not a watching sport.
You learn it by 'doing' it.
Skills Lab is ‘doing’ on steroids: micro-reps, playful constraints, surprising prompts, live coaching, and immediate feedback so you can course-correct fast.
Inside the Skills Lab, across multiple sessions, you’ll develop the core ingredients of Stage Alchemy™ (Pull, Performance, and Personality) through hands-on practice in areas like:
Emotional storytelling that moves people
Crafting openings that hook your audience instantly
Using body language and stage presence with confidence
Mastering tone, pace, and vocal variety
Adding humour and spontaneity (without forcing it)
Handling curveballs and Q&As like a pro
Delivering natural, persuasive Calls to Action for the end of your talk
Connecting authentically on Zoom and on stage
Every Skills Lab is different — so you’re always stretching a new muscle.
Every week, you get better — without the pressure of performance.
HOW THE SKILLS LAB WORKS
- Weekly, live, 45–60 minute Zoom sessions on a Monday afternoon (16:15 UK, London time)
- Small group of participants so everyone gets plenty of airtime
- Expert facilitation — I bring with me all my experience in theatre, stand-up comedy and as a professional speaker, to work with you on your delivery and performance
- Each Skills Lab session is recorded, so you can watch it back, refresh your memory of the exercises and feedback to keep improving between sessions
Weekly doses of deliberate practice that make you a stronger, sharper, more compelling speaker.

“I’m so glad Sarah added the Skills Lab to The Green Room, it’s been brilliant, and I absolutely love it. It’s such a safe, supportive space to try out the speaking skills she teaches, get instant feedback, and feel your confidence grow week after week. Everyone’s in the same boat, which makes it relaxed, fun, and full of learning. It’s easily one of the best ways to level up your speaking game and really stand out from the crowd.”
