I AM STRONG: Speak Up!
Public speaking and communication workshops and 1:1 coaching to help young people become confident, capable communicators.
An extension of the I AM STRONG programme, Speak Up! helps young people find their voice, express themselves with confidence and feel comfortable communicating both in front of an audience and in social environments.
Through practical activities, speaking challenges and real-life social situations, young people develop their public-speaking skills, learn to contribute confidently to conversations, present their ideas clearly and communicate effectively with others.
The programme helps young people build the skills to speak in front of others, and to have the confidence to stand up, speak out and make themselves heard.
CONFIDENT
An experienced public speaking coach, I look to build confidence in public speaking by creating a positive, supportive and encouraging environment. Different texts are used from persuasive speeches to poetry.
CAPABLE
Teaching public speaking skills such as body language, intonation, pitch, pacing and volume to provide children with a toolkit that they can return to and wow audiences during the programme and long into the future.
COMMUNICATORS
Helping children to communicate in different settings beyond the stage - talking to adults, interviews or speaking in front of an audience - the aim is to help children communicate with ease whatever the environment.
