Do you ever know the answer but can’t find the right words to say it? Do you get frustrated when you freeze up in the moment, even though you know what you want to say? Whether it’s in class, during a presentation, or just talking with friends, it can feel really frustrating when your brain moves faster than your words.

Join me for "Think Fast. Speak Smart. Master On-the-Fly Responses" and learn how to think quickly and speak confidently, no matter the situation. You’ll learn 10 easy-to-use frameworks that will help you handle any question or conversation, even when you’re put on the spot. Through fun exercises and expert tips, you’ll build the skills to make sure your words match your thoughts every time.

Whether you’re preparing for your next school project, talking with friends, or speaking with adults, this program will help you communicate with confidence, show off your personality, and always feel prepared to speak up.

This Public Speaking class encourages students to find power in their words, through fun implementation.
