When I heard about SPEAK for the first time, I was so glad to know about this kind of done by Mr.Farweez I decided to enrol my son without a second thought; as I know him from my childhood, I knew he’ll do a great job. My son is in Level 2 at SPEAK and I can see a clear improvement in his public speaking skill. Thanks and good luck to SPEAK!

Introduction
Soft skills in particular have become the sine qua non of great leadership, and among them communication skills – the skill to impress, inspire and influence – according to a number of researches remains right at the top. It is for this reason that public speaking – a crucial element of communication skills – is turning from a soft-skill into an essential skill. Even as adults public speaking and the ability to express, articulate and persuade has no doubt become a must possess skill at all levels, for it does not only provide us with the crucial skills to be seen and heard, but it also boosts our self-confidence and self-esteem.
At Speak we understood the crucial importance of teaching these skills at a very young age. Rather than letting the lack of self-confidence and self-esteem, and hyper self-consciousness sprout and grow as a child and take root as an adult we decided to nip it in the bud and help kids believe that there is a great leader inside them.
Therefore, we decided to reach out to the kids and coach them the vital skills of public speaking, which not only helps them develop the skills to impress, inspire and influence but also boosts their self-confidence and self- esteem.

ORATR Model
1. Observe – Observing is the first step in achieving personality transformation. This stems from the realization that each child is unique. Therefore, the coach will first observe the kids and understand them before expecting them to understand the coach.
2. Recognize – Following the initial observation the coach will Recognize the factors of motivation, strengths and weaknesses of the kids, and the unique characteristics of each child’s personality that call for special attention and record them.
3. Act – The coach will get down to the level of the students and address their needs instead of expecting the students to come up to the coach’s level and meet his needs. This is the level where the coach devises a personalized curriculum by Acting on the factors which were already Recognized.
4. Transform – The result of Acting is Transformation. A student who finds the process of learning and development personalized will feel engaged with the coach and her methods. As a result of building rapport and trust, active engagement and implementation of the skills the student begins to achieve a positive personality transformation.
5. Repeat – In the event where the expected transformation doesn’t occur the coach will return to the first step of ORATR, which is Observe and Repeat the process once again. However, the coach would now attempt to discover the factors or elements she might have missed during the initial implementation of ORATR.

Parent of Okitha
My son had a speech problem and he started speaking when he was three years old. So that is why he was having some problems but still you managed with him and it was a great success. I’m very thankful to you; because I had gone to so many speech therapists to make him speak like this. It was a great success and a great day for me.
