Focus:  Our Speak OUT ™ group coaching is designed specifically for advanced teen speakers who are eager to excel and demonstrate the readiness to participate in competitions, debates, presentations, events, and more. Our program stands apart through its unique format, emphasizing experiential learning and the practical application of essential public speaking skills. .

Speak OUT ™ Empowering Advanced Teen Speakers:

  • Experiential Learning: Speak OUT is not your typical lecture-based program. We believe in learning by doing. Participants actively engage in a variety of speaking exercises, simulations, and real-world scenarios to build their confidence and communication skills.

  • Constructive Feedback: Students collaborate, exchange ideas, and provide constructive feedback to one another and the coach. This fosters a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

  • Practical Application: We understand that speech or debate success requires more than just theory. Our program places a strong emphasis on applying what is learned in real competition situations, preparing students for success on the tournament circuit.

  • Topic Exploration: Speak OUT covers a wide range of topics, allowing students to explore areas of interest and develop expertise in various subjects. This helps students excel in both prepared and impromptu speaking situations.

Speakers will receive a digital Certificate of Achievement verifying the hours of commitment and skill development completed. SpeakOUT ™ students may also participate in competitions and conferences.

 

All speakers will receive ongoing assessments measuring progress.

All sessions are recorded for reinforcement and feedback
