Train-The-Educator ( TTE ) by Johan Speaking Academy ( Feb 2020 )

One more step forward. A mission to empower more kids with confidence which they can carry forward in their lives.

Educators from various new locations were present for this certification program. Locations involved were Pandan Indah, Semenyih, Ara Damansara, Kota Kemuning and Seri Kembangan.

This 3-Day Train The Educator program was designed to equipped them with the knowledge and know-how to run some of the programs under Johan Speaking Academy.

Some of them asked,"Is this possible?" "Of course," I replied without hesitation. We have been doing this certification since 2016.

Day 1

Educators were exposed to the fundamentals of public speaking. Not only on the adults side, also on the mindset for both adults and kids. It was such fun to see them enjoying themselves while learning these new skills.

It was very fast pace too, as we have so much to cover. From crafting speeches, to presenting and to evaluating. Theory, then practical, theory, then practical and practical.

In the afternoon, we dived very deep into the modules for kids. Simple, yet effective way to deliver results. This proven method has helped more than 3000 kids to speak on stage since 2014.

Day 2

We went deeper into the modules. This covered from conducting the modules, how to get kids on stage, how can they present with confidence, how to speak to parents, how to market yourself on social media and many more.

Many group projects, role-play were done too. As we had a good time learning, time passed very quickly too. By the time we realized, it was the end of day 2.

Day 3

Educators were practicing and rehearsing their part for the LIVE workshop. 13 kids were called to come in so that educators can actually implement what they learned for the past 2 days. It was a short few hours with the kids, but a fruitful one. After the session with the kids, we discussed and brainstorm ways to even improve further. This also helped the educators see their strengths and fine-tuned their weaknesses.

At the end of the day, it was a great session with them. I told them,"This is just the beginning of a great journey." In which they replied ,"Of course."

Now, let's rock and roll. Go out there and impact lives.
