For Students
find your voice: communication skills for college success
workshop.
Transform students into confident communicators!
Your students are smart, capable, and college-ready on paper. But when it's time to:
-
Speak up during a college campus tour
-
Answer questions in a scholarship interview
-
Introduce themselves to admission counselors
-
Present to a group of peers
-
Advocate for themselves with authority figures
...they freeze. They stumble. They undersell themselves.
It's not a lack of potential. It's a lack of confidence.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
What If Your Students Could Walk Into Any Room With Confidence?
Imagine your students:
-
Speaking clearly and confidently during college interviews
-
Asking thoughtful questions on campus tours
-
Presenting themselves authentically to admissions officers
-
Advocating for their needs with professors and staff
-
Feeling empowered rather than intimidated by authority figures
That's exactly what the "Find Your Voice" workshop delivers.
Self confidence is a continuous journey of resilience and
self discovery.
This isn't a generic public speaking workshop...
This is targeted communication training that prepares your students for the real-world scenarios they'll face throughout their college journey—from campus visits to scholarship presentations to navigating college life.
Led by an expert facilitator with decades of media and communication experience, this workshop uses proven techniques to help even the shyest students discover their confident voice.
