What we talk about
Bring the right voice to the room
Dina brings speakers together to practice sharing their message with families. Choose a conference below and tell us about your talk.
Speaker Spotlights
Are you a speaker with a message for families? We would love to feature your talk right here. Share it with us.
Stand up. Speak out. Grow.
Your message deserves to be heard out loud, in front of real people, before it has to be perfect. That is what our practice conferences are for. It is a room built for trying, learning and getting better together.
- 01
Find your voice
The only way to get comfortable with a live audience is to stand in front of one. Every time you speak out loud, your message gets a little clearer and a little more yours.
- 02
Tame the nerves
Nerves are not a sign you should stop. They are a sign it matters. Practicing in a room full of people who want you to do well teaches you to breathe, ground yourself and keep going.
- 03
Get honest feedback
Fellow speakers see what you cannot. In a feedback circle you hear what landed, what was unclear and what to try next, from people who are working on the same thing.
- 04
Learn from each other
Watching other speakers is a lesson of its own. You pick up ideas, stories and habits you would never find alone, and you offer yours in return.
- 05
Grow every round
Speak, listen, adjust, speak again. Each round is a chance to try something new and build on what you learned the last time.
Ready to practice your message?
Both are practice opportunities, not paid speaking engagements. Date and time to be announced.
Meet the Speakers
The people who show up to practice, share and grow. Profiles appear here only when the speaker has said yes.
Be our first featured speaker
Your profile, your interests and your message could be the first one here. Create your speaker profile, or sign up for a practice conference.
Put your voice on the map
Tell us who you are, what you speak about and what lights you up. Approved profiles appear in Meet the Speakers, where families and fellow speakers can filter by interest.
Creating a profile costs nothing. It is separate from the practice conference sign-ups, and it is not a booking or a paid speaking engagement.
Five tips to own the room
- 01
Start with one person
Picture a single listener and speak to them.
- 02
Open with a story
A real moment beats a list of facts.
- 03
Say one big idea
If they remember one thing, what is it?
- 04
Slow down
Pause. It sounds confident and gives people time to think.
- 05
Practice out loud
Say it standing up, the way you will deliver it.
