  Midp

  Jun 2023 - Jul 2024

  Public speaking trainer

  Public Speaking is not just limited to competitions and tournaments. One will always be called upon to speak/present in classrooms, lecture theaters or even small family gatherings. My role as a Public Speaking trainer with MIDP is uniquely tailored to 9–11-year-old children. It involves developing self-confidence, a can-do attitude, and eliminating the fear of speaking to a crowd (be it large or small) through proper speaking techniques and speech writing skills. These are done in weekend classes - with my classes running from 10:00am-12;30pm, immediately followed by a 12:30pm-3pm on Sundays.On a personal level, I am demonstrating my skill as a trainer through close interaction teaching highly inquisitive, enthusiastic students that often require attention to ensure they focus and participate within the class. Indirectly, this experience hones my ability to lead a team and to also coach/learn better in a new environment. Show less
