Dear Families,
Each year I have the privilege of watching children take their first brave steps into the world of public speaking, whether it is sharing a story, volunteering for a roleplay, or simply speaking up in class. For many students, the most powerful moment is not the polished delivery at the end, but that first small decision to try. That moment of courage, however quiet, is where confidence begins.
Public speaking is more than a performance skill. It is the art of human connection, of expressing an idea clearly, listening deeply, and building understanding. In every class, we see how confidence grows not through perfection, but through participation, laughter, mistakes and encouragement. While some students join us to overcome nerves, many others arrive already confident and ready to refine, stretch, and strengthen their skills even further.
Today, this skill matters more than ever. In a world filled with screens, digital noise, and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, the ability to connect human-to-human has become a true differentiator. As technology advances, empathy, warmth, and authentic communication are what help young people stand out. That is why face to face learning experiences, where children learn to read expression, tone, and emotion, are at the heart of what we do at Super Speak. These are the moments that shape not just confident speakers, but confident people.
Over my 30 years of teaching communication, one truth has remained: confidence is not innate. It is built step-by-step with practice, encouragement, and care. When children feel supported to take those steps, they discover their voice and learn that their words have power.
We are proud to walk this journey alongside your family and to continue empowering students with the skills, self belief, and human connection they will need to thrive both in school and beyond.
If you would like to learn more about how Super Speak can help your child grow in confidence and communication, or to join us in 2026, we’d love to hear from you.
Warm regards,
Vicki Skyring
