I would like to organise a meet up group for 2 hours every 2nd week in central Dublin.
I have a lot of personal experience with Social anxiety in the workplace and I have done a lot of therapy and CBT around this.

If we could get around 8-10 people each person could speak for 2 minutes on a topic and afterwards we could give feedback (if requested) .We would each get to speak for about 3 times per night.
I understand how difficult this is but I believe it is the best way to overcome public speaking anxiety.

Just Some topics to choose from could be:

Questions and Answers (about yourself, your job etc.)
Presentation on a topic
Read from a book
Try being assertive or disagree with somebody's opinion
Being criticised by the group on your opinion
Make a phone call in front of others
Eye contact
Speak about your talents and good qualities.
Tell us about a time that you have asserted yourself.
What is your opinion on Same Sex Marriage?
What is your opinion on Abortion?
What is your opinion on the Government?
What is your opinion on Immigration?
Tell us about someone you love and respect.
Speak about how you have improved your anxiety over the years.
Tell us about your job.
A sense of humour is essential

Uniforms smother individuality
Normal is decided by society
Real learning happens outside the classroom
Talking to someone vs. talking with someone
What human quality do we need more of?
If I ruled the world
People often stereotype
If you were a salesperson, sell the audience a piece of your clothing
My best job ever would be
Discuss your favourite movie, book, etc.
Should smoking be allowed in public spaces?
Happy drugs (Prozac, Zoloft, etc.)
What are you grateful for?
If I could only eat three foods forever
Three surprising facts about me
Whom do you admire most?
Tell us how to make a new friend
When was the last time you tried something new
Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength
What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
What makes you smile?
Can you think of a time when the impossible became possible?
How have you helped someone else recently?
What is the next big step you need to take?
What is your happiest memory?
