Hear from an inspirational author in a masterclass in confidence and public speaking for women.

Viv Groskop, journalist, writer, comedian, TV and radio presenter and author of the best-selling book and accompanying chart-topping podcast, How to Own The Room, will be speaking at the King's Arms hotel in Dorchester on Saturday, September 24 at 10am.

The session will be full of inspirational tips and advice on brilliant speaking.

In How to Own the Room inspirational women reveal the secrets of brilliant speaking.

Viv has interviewed women from all walks of life — some famous names, some working behind the scenes — being grilled on a subject very few of them will have ever spoken before in detail: how they wield power and authority, where they draw their strength and confidence for public speaking, what they’ve learned from their biggest career setbacks and what “owning the room” means in their world.

Guests on her podcast include Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, Mary Beard, Nigella Lawson, Monica Galletti, Elizabeth Day, Cerys Matthews and Catherine Tate to name but a few.

Tickets cost £15 and include a copy of the book How To Own The Room.
