Mic Drop Club Launches in Eugene to Help Women Build Public Speaking Confidence
EUGENE, OR — July 24, 2025 — A new women’s public speaking club is launching in Eugene 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 Eugene, hosted by Katherine Robinette, 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.
“So many women are daunted by public speaking, and it’s such an essential skill. Mic Drop Club makes it fun, relatable, and easy,” said Katherine Robinette, the local host for the Eugene chapter.
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.
