What’s the best way to structure your speech?

Public speaking and efficient communication are modern soft skills that will set your child apart from the crowd, even at a young age. Why not begin early and offer your child an advantage in learning and mastering these essential 21st-century skills?

Improving public speaking skills will put your child at a big advantage in many areas of their lives. Aside from boosting their confidence, it helps your child learn the most effective ways to communicate, demonstrate their knowledge and work with others better, as they learn about teamwork and leadership throughout their educational journey. 

There are many areas to refine and develop when it comes to the art of public speaking, especially when it comes to developing these skills in young leaders. In young children, and even most adults, public speaking anxiety is common. At Leaders of Tomorrow Academy, we strive to tackle each of these areas with a comprehensive curriculum covering each element contributing to public speaking. One of the domains we cover extensively is Influence. 

Being able to influence is essential when it comes to public speaking. When speaking to a crowd, public speakers have the opportunity to influence others with their words: using their knowledge of persuasion to communicate and motivate others to take collective action to achieve desired goals. 

There is a strong correlation between leadership and communication skills. “A process of social influence in which one person may enlist the cooperation and support of others in the fulfillment of a common task,” is one of the common definitions of leadership. 

Feeling “informed” and “inspired” are the feelings you want your listeners to walk away with after hearing you speak. What many might not know is that these feelings are not the direct result of the speakers’ vast knowledge of the topic at hand. It is more likely that it was because they knew how to structure their speech. 

What’s the best way to structure your speech? That’s what we at Leaders of Tomorrow Academy cover in our first lesson on Influence (Level 1). We guide your child through the basic components of building an effective speech, teaching them how to structure their speech in a simple and logical way that allows them to reel their audience in and to allow for maximum information retention.
