Johan Speaking Academy - Storytelling Competition 2016

"Where ?" i asked.

"Across Malaysia. Few states. And they are Penang, Kota Kinabalu, Johor Bahru, Kuching, Melaka and Kuantan," Popular replied.

We were very happy for being invited to share what we are passionate about. Helping kids build their confidence through public speaking and storytelling.

While the industry is new, we are happy to lead this movement.

"What are we suppose to do?" i asked.

"You will share the benefits of public speaking to parents, why focus on soft skills instead of just academic and some tips for the kids for public speaking before they go on stage," Popular replied.

"Will do, i am more than happy to contribute in anyway."

Licensing Opportunity in Malaysia - Johan Speaking Academy ( Kids Public Speaking )

"Johan, how do we start this business?" asked Mr Lee

"Johan, is education business good ?" asked Ms Teoh

We have been asked many of those questions, but I asked them back. "What is your passion?"

If educating kids is your passion, then this may be the business for you. But if you like other industries, then this may be difficult to run. 

Myself and Cherry has trained more than 900 kids to speak on stage from 2014, and in 2016 we decided we look for associate partners to bless more kids in Kids Public Speaking. We are the early mover of this business in Malaysia, where we helped children gain confidence through speaking. 

Is this a licensing opportunity in Malaysia then ? More importantly, is this an opportunity that you are looking for ...

Enrichment Center in Malaysia - Kids Public Speaking (Johan Speaking Academy)

Enrichment center on kids public speaking ? Is there such program ?

Johan Speaking Academy started in year 2014 in Malaysia. Our signature program is Kids Public Speaking. The journey was very exciting. In year 2014, there were not many such program in the market. Yes, there are some english enrichment centres who does this on an ad-hoc basis , but really focuses on kids public speaking, hhhmm ......

We embarked on this journey and started in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. As a speaker myself in the speaking arena, myself and my wife Cherry felt there was a gap which we can fill. The education system somewhat focuses on academic rather than soft skills. Besides, public speaking is my passion and we do want to leave a legacy and being able to pass our knowledge to kids.

Why Is Public Speaking Important ? Johan Speaking Academy

"Ha !! Me presenting tomorrow ?!  No No ...let my manager present"

"You go, i don't want."

"GOSH !! Noooooo !!!"

Are these some of the lines you tell yourself or your colleagues when you are call upon to speak on stage ?

At some point of our lives, we will have to present to a group of people. It might be in school, it might be presenting a final year project in college, it might be presenting your monthly work to your bosses in meeting and many more scenarios.

How do you wish you have "some" public speaking skills with you ?

Why is public speaking important ?

It is a skill which you have to use one day.

As a student : You have to present your project ( primary / secondary / tertiary ) one day. While the project might be a group project, you rather be the one to take the lead and present. You can escape once if you skip this, but some how or rather, you will have to face it alone one day.

Into the workforce : You have to go through an interview. If you are going through a corporate company, the third interview might put you into a spot to present to 3 - 5 top managers.

Being a Leader

A good leader is a good communicator. As we climb the corporate ladder or running an enterprise, we have to communicate our message across.

Being able to articulate your message, you may impact and inspire people.

Building Your Confidence

People say public speaking is one of the most feared thing to do. How true ? Just ask yourself. Different people have different anxiety level when they are called upon to step up to speak.

If you do it more, and keep doing, somehow, your confidence level will increase. And having confidence in life will ultimately help you along your life's journey.

Sometimes a parents asked, "When do we need to start public speaking ?"
The earlier we start them, the better. While we do not need to rush this and give pressure, if we could expose a child to speak on stage earlier, it will be better.

5 Ways to Teach Public Speaking To Kids

"Teacher, Johan," i have lots of homework to do.
"Teacher Cherry," i got exams coming up.

Daddy mommy sent you over here so you could learn .....

Hi there parents, thank you so much for dropping by our blog. My name is Johan, together with my wife Cherry, are the founders of Kids Public Speaking, a program to teach public speaking to kids.

Johan Speaking Academy have trained public speaking to kids since 2014, and 1000 of them has stepped on stage to speak.

Today, i will be sharing with you 5 ways to teach public speaking to kids. They may be your child, or you are a teacher at school, or you can just use this knowledge to help a child.

Tip 1 : Tell kids it is ...... 

Sharing a story to your friends, say hello to a friends or sharing a message. While they may not have heard the word "public speaking", we will do our very best to tell them something relatable.

While i am standing there in the middle telling them this, i will point to myself, see....just like this.

Tip 2 : Always have fun. 

"Do you all like to have fun ?" Cherry asked.

"YES !!" they replied. 

"Are you sure ? " Cherry asked again. 

"YES !!"they replied. 

Parents, kids have enough homework and exams as part of the school syllabus, that is why we do not want to bore them with the things they are already experiencing in school. 

Tip 3 : Give them positive feedback

It is easy to give negative feedback. A lot of times, people tend to spot weaknesses faster than spotting a strength. But in this class, never do that if they are kids. 

Use words like , Amazing ! Well Done ! Good Job ! I am proud of you ! 

This words of encouragement when teaching kids public speaking will help them boost their self esteem and confidence at the same time. 

Tip 4 : Practice 

Public speaking just like any skill, need constant practice. Please do not bore them with so much theory, let them practice more. 

Mix elements like fun, practice and a bit of theory ( techniques ) to them. Rotate these elements and they will be happy to learn. 

Tip 5 : No marking 

While in school, kid are usually graded and let known their results. This is very good in the academic world. What about public speaking ? 

Myself and Cherry looked at progress differently. 

Kids stepped on stage once. YES ! 

Kids stepped on stage twice. YES ! 

Kids stepped on stage three times. WOW ! 

Note : If you really want to mark them, just let yourself know the score. Or maybe pass the information to their parents. We do not want to discourage kids with scoring system. 

Hope these 5 tips will be useful for you. Thank you so much and do LIKE our facebook page at www.fb.com/KidsPublicSpeaking
