Does it really just take a few seconds to make a lasting first impression? How important is it to present yourself well, and communicate effectively one-on-one or in a group? What are the merits of a strong communicator?
Projecting confidence in communication is a key life skill for success. The Protocol Academy invites tweens and teens to join its 10-week Effective Communication Program, designed to further develop the essential skills to become a more poised, self-assured and fluid communicator.

Covered skill sets in the first section of the series include: The Art of Small Talk; Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication and Cues; The Importance and Impact of Written Communication; Communicating in the Digital World; Critical Thinking; Feedback Essentials; and Negotiation Skills.
The second part of the program concentrates on learning, sequencing, practicing and presenting various speeches. Themes include: Personal, Motivational, Inspirational, Gratitude, Aspirational, Persuasive, Informative, Tribute and Impromptu. All speech writing is done and presented in class.
Throughout the series, students learn and participate via interactive activities. Such as: games, role-play, small group team building activities, improvisation, self-observation and solo speaking. Get Your Communication Skills On!
