3. What do you do in Speakers Hive?
The members of Speakers Hive (aka "Hivers") meet every week to practice their speaking skills and get feedback from peers. The organizers/volunteers for the weekly meetings, get to develop their leadership skills.
4. What happens in the Speakers Hive meetings?
Our members play a variety of roles which involve speaking, observing, listening, thinking on the feet and giving constructive feedback.
The meeting organizers get to practice leadership skills such as planning, delegating, organizing, coordinating, executing, managing conflicts, motivating and delivering results.
You can see what happens in our meetings in our Speakers Hive Youtube Channel
The meeting has 3 segments:
1. Hive Talks: Members will come prepared with a speech based on specific objectives and deliver them at the hive meetings (3 - 5 mins duration speeches)
2. JAM Talks: Random speakers (preferably, the ones who have not signed up for any other speaking roles) will be given a topic and asked to speak for about 1 - 1.5 mins
3. Peer-Reviews: Reviewers will share critical, constructive and concise feedback for the Hive Talks Speakers for 1 - 2 mins.
We do not have an instructor / trainer facilitating the meetings. Members get mentoring / coaching support from experts in the community during their role preparations and rehearsals.
5. Why should I join Speakers Hive ?
Speaking is a skill that is similar to cycling or swimming. You cannot learn it by reading a book. Through continuous participation and practice, Speakers Hive members build their confidence to deliver impactful presentations, contribute effectively to group discussions and brainstorming sessions, and speak with clarity in job interviews.
Organizers of the weekly meetings learn to collaborate with teams and develop leadership skills to drive results — whether in corporate settings or community initiatives.
6. Is Speakers Hive free ?
Though we are a non-profit entity, we do have some operational / administrative expenses. We will collect a nominal fee of Rs.600 for every six months. Members who reach an educational milestone will get a certificate from Speakers Hive.
The individual Hive chapters (specifically the ones that meet in-person) may collect additional fees to cover the operational costs such as rent for the meeting venue, refreshments, organizing special events/contests etc.,
