Tampa's Mic Drop Club Invites Women looking to polish their professional speaking skills

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mic Drop Club Launches in Tampa to Help Women Build Public Speaking Confidence

TAMPA, Fla. — Nov. 24, 2025 — A new women’s public speaking club is launching in Tampa with one clear mission: to help more women develop their voices and confidently step up to the mic – whether that’s in a boardroom, a Zoom call or on a big stage.

Mic Drop Club has been featured in USA Today, WJHL, CBS17, Roanoke Times and WDBJ7.

Mic Drop Club Tampa, hosted by Caitlin Gardner, is part of a global network of local chapters under Mic Drop Workshop, a company founded by speaker and entrepreneur Jess Ekstrom to help women become thought leaders through public speaking. The newly formed Tampa chapter merges the former Orlando and Tampa groups, creating one dynamic community for women across Florida.

“After two decades in corporate America I’ve seen firsthand how many women have incredible stories and expertise but hesitate to claim the mic,” said Caitlin Gardner, host of Mic Drop Club Tampa, owner of Blooming Communications and a professional speaker. “The Mic Drop Club gives us a place to practice, connect and grow the confidence to share those stories boldly. Tampa is filled with powerhouse women who deserve to be heard – and this community is where that courage begins.”

The club’s curriculum is developed by Lead Trainer Lindsay Boccardo, a workplace expert and advocate for women’s growth. As Lindsay puts it, “When women win, we all win.”

Mic Drop Club meets monthly, virtually and quarterly in person. It blends low-pressure public speaking practice with community and connection. Each session includes speaking prompts, structured feedback and personal growth exercises designed to help members find their voice and use it loudly and proudly inside and outside of work.

With chapters in cities around the world, Mic Drop Club is changing the narrative of who we see and hear on stages and in leadership.
