About Public Speaking Society

Members learn speaking frameworks, take on weekly speaking challenges and join regular live sessions with Tay.[1] The training follows a loop of learning, applying and improving, aimed at clear communication in interviews, presentations and everyday conversations.[1]

Tay's YouTube channel shares tips on presentation, storytelling, interview skills, speech delivery, body language, confidence and stage anxiety, and links to the Skool training.[2] Tay's website, aimed at working professionals building speaking confidence, sells courses including Influential Storytelling, Contagious Communicator, Express to Impress, The M.E. Trainer and Effective Speaking Survival Guide.[4] Express to Impress is also the title of a book on moving from introvert to presenter, and subscribers to the site receive 'Presentation Bucket Holes' in digital form.[4] The Skool group was created in March 2026.[1]
