About AIM Lit Fest 2025: Masterclass in Author Branding with Anila Dhami
Public speaking is a common fear around the world – but it’s also a skill anyone can learn. Award-winning presenter Anila Dhami is now offering a unique opportunity to develop this essential skill through a workshop she has personally designed.
Anila’s 'Create Public Speaking Confidence' workshops, available for both individuals and groups, guide participants on a transformative journey from building inner clarity to expressing outer confidence. She shares her expertise, skills and confident mindset through interactive exercises, discussions, and practical activities, to share how she believes people can speak authentically and with purpose.
At the AIM Literary Festival at the British Library, Anila will lead a special Masterclass tailored for authors. Designed to help writers move from the written word to powerful spoken expression, this session aims to empower them to bring their voice off the page and into the room with confidence.
This event is part of the AIM Literary Festival Programme, but tickets must be booked separately. More Information.
