What is Public Speaking? When do we speak in public? I will talk about posture, hand gestures and eye contact with the audience in Public Speaking. What does the onlooker think when we do not make eye contact? What do we think when someone does not look us in the eye? A child's body language is important; shoulders squared and gaze straight at the audience. The importance of open hand gestures will be explained along with sweeping eye contact with the audience. I will discuss my own fears and nervousness and how I got rid of them; how empowered and energized I felt when I spoke well in front of an audience. The child may select any topic of choice; could describe the family dog, cat or his/her favorite book/game. The child could also croon his/her favorite song. I shall ask for the topic the child would like to present a day or two before the class and get to know each child a little from the parent. Introduction - 5 minutes Topic Introduction and Explanation - 10 minutes Each Participant Practice session on 2 topics and feedback - 30-35 mins (5 participants) Positive reinforcement of a student's strengths & Learning and takeaway - 15 minutes. Class Rule :This is an interactive class; hence, children are expected to keep their cameras turned on, at all times, during the class. In this class, it is important for us to be seated on a chair or standing when facing the screen. If your child needs any special accommodation, please let me know in advance, so that they can get the most benefit from the class. General Notes: This is a popular class; hence, if you do not find an available section at your convenient time and date, please check again later. I add classes every week and you will find one that suits you. Please check that you are signing up for the correct local date and time. Refund / Transfer policy: As per Outschool policy, there will be no refund/rescheduling for missed classes. I will be happy to transfer/ reschedule the student if intimated at least 24 hours in advance, as I might not be able to fill the vacant spot on a shorter notice. This would translate to one student claiming 2 spots. However, transfers do not apply if there is no other section scheduled.

I firmly believe that there is potential in every child and my mission is to help them realize their potential. The journey of Teaching/Training/Coaching began decades ago as an entrepreneur with a Communications & Culture training organization focused on Corporate training as well as one on one learning .Over the years, it evolved into a training company that provided niche and result oriented training programs across India with focus on Leadership, Presentation Skills and Cross culture, as well as several behavioral training programs with some of the Global leading Corporates like Verizon Data Services, Dell, HSBC, Oracle, Progress Software and many more. I founded and spear-headed "Trainwell Consultants" for many years; hence, I feel I should share my knowledge and expertise with the next generation of future leaders and public speakers.
