Speaking with Confidence – Connection to Core Voice
The curriculum manual can be used with various age groups. Each session is designed so that the participants are talking out loud to the instructor and each other. All sessions begin with questions for the instructor and a syllabus for that day and upcoming training. In addition, with class dialogue, this is an opportunity for everyone to hear the proficiency of the participants when speaking publicly.
