Ms. Laura Connor Speaks
Congratulations to all of our students who just completed one of our Jr. Power Speakers Programs. You were indeed a pleasure to work with!
- Some (but not all) of the skills they learned during the program were:
- How to speak confidently
- How to craft a well-structured speech
- How to open, fill and close a captivating speech
- How to deliver a presentation in a powerful and engaging manner.
They spoke about a wide range of topics, including Stradivarius stringed instruments, the case to parents for why their kids should play video games, the benefits of owning a dog and why drinking is bad for your health.
The depth and level of insight about their topics highlighted the fact that our children have a wide range of passions and are willing & able to teach us many things. They are truly an amazing group of kids!
Thanks to Katherine Yang at Top York Learning Centre in Markham for being such a fine partner and collaborator to work with!
Our fall Jr. Power Speakers Program starts on October 21. If you’d like your child to be a part of this confidence building program, please message me for details.
Keep Speaking Everyone!
