We have developed a Unique 4-in-1 program called SPEAKSCRAFT-that combines activities include Public Speaking-  Reading, Debates, Creative Writing and Drama  activities that aim to also enhance the student’s Expression and Listening skills. 

How is the Talent Club Australia program unique and different?

There are many centers that offer Public Speaking but the question to ask is do they really Coach/ Teach  the ART & CRAFT of Communication and how are the results being assessed. Just placing a child on stage or with a microphone or winning competitions is NOT  pubic speaking. Effective communication, the ability to Inform, Persuade, Inflence and Entertain . It is a skill that has to be taught by role model coaches who can work with Students  to bring out their best qualities. Our curriculum is a proven system for the past 6 years.

How can I get my shy child to speak up?
  1. We run Patnering with Parents sessions every quarter. The way we speak as parents builds thier mindset about Speaking Up ! 
  2. Understand your child’s shyness – some kids are anxious about speaking up when they don’t know what the response will be. Some don’t like to talk in front of other people. Others just need time to get comfortable with new people and new situations. And still others are just content being quiet observers.
  3. Avoid labeling your child as shy – try to use other descriptions in front of them..
  4. Share the benefits with them – offer evidence of why self-advocacy and speaking up can make a difference in their life.
  5. Practice and role-play – rehearse sample situations with them. Talent Club Australia’s classes all involve various forms of practice of activities that will assist in building their confidence.
  6. Celebrate small successes – recognise and celebrate achievements, no matter how small they may be. Ongoing encouragement will help build your child’s confidence.
