Storytelling is really two words: story vs telling.
It's not enough to have a good story: how, when, where and to whom you tell it, matters just as much.
In this session we're going to explore how to become better at public speaking: a secret weapon in the world of work, and a skill that our education system puts little to no emphasis on. Whether you want to improve your general presenting, spontaneous storytelling or have your sights set on some professional public speaking, this will be an informal chance to practice with others in short bursts and get feedback.
Similar to Toastmasters but with a pirate twist. This session will be hosted by Flora Blathwayt.
Mutiny Mentoring is a chance to throw some collective weight and brain power behind the challenges we're facing as aspiring pirates. It can be a difficult and lonely path to try and bring about change, so aside from solidarity and crew support, the idea it to crowdsource advice and practical ideas.

In partnership with the London Reinventing Work network, this session will explore where Pirates sit within the future of work debate.
Alex will be talking about how the Pirate Code created trust, accountability, transparency and the earliest form of self management; examples of rule breaking from organisations they've worked with; why we should be replacing management with 'Mutiny.'
