It was incredible to host the 109th Chancellor of @Cambridge_Uni, Lord Chris Smith of Finsbury at Lucy Cavendish College as a guest speaker on 25 March. Lord Smith of Finsbury attended our Governing Body Away Day for a reception, presented an inspiring speech, and answered questions from the Governing Body. Our community is so grateful to the Chancellor for his attendance. Pictured below: Lord Chris Smith of Finsbury, President Girish Menon, and Lucy Cavendish College fellows.

My talk just went live on YouTube! youtube.com/watch?v=IZVUJO… In the talk, I explain how and why I built the most effective treatment for speech anxiety—and how and why I am making it freely available. Share widely. The free treatment is life-changing for anyone who experiences speech anxiety or a fear of public speaking.

My talk just went live... youtube.com/watch?v=IZVUJO… In the talk, I explain how and why I built the most effective treatment for speech anxiety—and how and why I am making it freely available. This project began with me helping my nephew, who was on the verge of dropping out of college. It has since grown into a mission to bring this free treatment to millions of students worldwide. The goal is to help people become skilled and confident public speakers; improve their mental and physical health; support their academic and career progression; empower them to speak up during difficult moments; and become agents of positive change—ultimately transforming their lives for the better. Please share widely. This free treatment is life-changing for anyone who experiences speech anxiety or a fear of public speaking—which is most people. More information and discussion can be found in the comments. Thank you for your continued support—it is greatly appreciated. @LucyCavColl @Cambridge_Uni
