Kids Emcee ...seriously ?

After teaching kids in public speaking for 3 years, we decided to launch some new programs to the market.

One of them is our Kids Emcee program. This program is for kids age 9 - 12 years old.

In this program, we will run through various important lessons. Example :

- Venue Management
- Event Types
- Public speaking
and many more.

This is a more advance program, and most of the kids who are attending this has attended our 10 weeks program.



As we go through the module, more importantly we have fun and lots of laughter in our session.

We do hope to see your child in our various programs.

For more info, visit : www.KidsPublicSpeaking.com

Partnership and collaboration in business ...

We believe in partnership and collaboration in business.

As years goes by, it is even more important for businesses to work hand-in-hand in collaborating to create more opportunities.

Our journey is blessed with so many partners on board. We never even dream of this when we first started.

How do we go about collaborating ?

We ourselves must also bring value to the table when collaborating. Always remember is must be a WIN-WIN situation. Do not only have in mind to TAKE, but rather to GIVE.

If we have a GIVING mentality, then a collaboration could take place.

Below are some of our collaboration partners in our Kids Public Speaking journey.

Is public speaking crucial for teens ?

How important is public speaking to teens ?

Are they prepared to face the working world with confidence ?

While academic qualifications in Malaysia is important, or maybe to some parents, the most important in the quest for their child to have a great career, somewhat, confidence is something i reckon is missing in the equation.

Now, confidence can be built in many ways, example, taking leadership roles in school, winning the sports they are in, completing project with flying colors, and many more ways.

If the child goes into the interview room and were asked, " Could you please tell me your achievements in school?"

Errrmm...eerrmm...

What happens next ?

Communication skills is one area which i feel is lacking in school. Maybe to some schools, but the emphasize is not really there to push through such important skills to the child.

Johan Speaking Academy has trained more than 1000 kids to speak on stage. While our focus is kids, we are also offering our program to teens.





In our program, we offer them opportunities to be :

- Brand Ambassadors
- Public speaking in front of LIVE audience
- Presentation skills using visual aids such as powerpoint.

We are doing our best to equip them with LIFE skills which is vital for them in their career.

Come join us if you would like to know more.

Is public speaking scary ? How did i conquer my fear ..

"I am scared."

"I can't do it."

"No way, this is not for me."

"Help!"

These are some of the phrases you might tell yourself when you are given a task to speak in public. But you have no choice, cause you need to present to your bosses and colleagues coming Monday. So, is public speaking really scary ?

Some people claimed that they have totally NO FEAR when they go up on stage. Is that true ? To me, there are always butterflies in the stomach when you have the thought that you are going to do public speaking, is just how you make those butterflies fly in formation. What does it mean ? Here are some tools for you to conquer your fear of public speaking.

Know your topic.
This is important, but is also the most fundamental. Why ? You are invited to speak because this is your domain, that is why you are invited. One thing for sure is , the topic has to be easily understood by the audience. If you are in an office setting, maybe the industry language can be understood easily. But if you are speaking to public, refrain from using jargons of your industry. Make sure you do deeper research on the topic as to give lots of value to your audience.

Know yourself. 
What are your strengths ? If you are humourous, be humourous. If you would like to use props ( eg: powerpoint ) , then use props. If you are great with your voice, use that through a variety of tone, pause, pitch and volume. Know your strength and play to your strength. If you have yet to find out, try practicing in front of your trusted friends who could give your valuable feedback and go on from there.

Practice, practice, practice. 
Great speakers honor the time of their audience. That is why they make sure they will practice their speech before their presentation, even that speech itself, he/she has presented many times. Why practice is important ? A great speech is rewritten, that is why, through practice only will you realize the "blind spots" which you missed out which can be improved.

Hope the 3 tips above could help you make those butterflies fly in formation.
