The Truth Behind Public Speaking Training & Leadership Classes for Youth
Thank you for stopping by to learn about the youth programs of Enspire Academy! With 20+ years of experience in building confidence, public speaking skills, and leadership skills in youth, we are glad to share our knowledge and expertise to help you achieve your goals as a parent.
Present-day youth lead a life with many physical, emotional, and intellectual changes. The competitive school systems expect them to showcase all-around accomplishments. The surge of technology and social media deprives them of opportunities to speak and have real conversations. This pushes youth to live in their own “bubble” making parents confused and helpless.
We understand your aspirations in raising your child(ren) to become confident and successful. As a parent you are continuously seeking the ideal balance between enforcing rules and giving the freedom to your child(ren) to explore and learn, learning ways to cope with challenging behaviors, and fostering independence in order to prepare your child(ren) for making responsible decisions as they get older.
How can you ensure that your child builds confidence to overcome challenges and develops into an inspiring person?
Here is where we can help you.
In everything we do, we believe in inspiring people.
That is why we are passionate about transforming youth into purpose-driven leaders so that they learn to grow and inspire people around them.

Students who interact with teachers and their classmates are more likely to participate effectively in class and perform better academically.
Furthermore, confidence and effective communication are crucial for both career growth and work effectiveness. You may have seen in your professional life that people who are confident and have strong communication skills are more likely to succeed in their positions and be recognized as leaders within the organization.

An Overview of the Journey
Building Confidence & Public Speaking Skills
Did you know confidence & public speaking go hand in hand?
Delivering a powerful and persuasive message requires strong communication skills and a high level of confidence. While the lack of confidence can make it difficult for speakers to engage with their audience, poor communication skills will hinder the process of conveying ideas clearly. Therefore, confidence and public speaking are closely linked. That's the reason we begin the journey towards leadership by simultaneously working on developing confidence and improving communication skills.
Students can master the art of confident communication by completing the 3 levels of the Confident Communicator™ Program.
