About us

Greetings,

We would like to introduce you to our Public Speaking team. Our team conducts workshops at libraries, schools, after-school programs, and churches throughout New York City. If you are in the NYC and would like us to conduct two six week workshops in your area, call 718-337-3745 or 718-337-3195 and speak to Dwain or Michelle.

Why we wrote the book and designed the program?

Our people are growing up without knowing the value and the necessity of effective communication. Often they mumble, avoid eye contact, dress inappropriately, lack confidence, or they are extremely boisterous. Young people need to know how to present themselves–on an interview, before an audience or with their peers–for in order to lead your followers need to understand what you are saying.

It is time for no more business as usual–our youth need to carry themselves properly, they need to convey their thoughts and ideas effectively, and they need to know that it is expected of them! A great selection of different games offered by best online casino uk.

This is why we wrote Excuse Me! Let Me Speak…A Young Persons Guide to Public Speaking and designed a 12 week public speaking program (divided in to two six week sessions) to help them become tomorrows leaders…today.
