Judith Field
Based on 30 years of teaching and 16 years of running her own business, Judith Field knows how to make public speaking almost easy and effortless. Tips are quick and memorable. Applications are practical and doable. It only takes three workshops to shift most students and adults from where they are to where they can be. Judith has three degrees in education, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Education in both primary and secondary. Judith is a Master Practitioner in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Practitioner).
The first infotainment session involves some fun activities and interaction to get started. It's full of tips and has a practical component.
Everyone will present with to their peers in groups of three. The students will have prepared a one minute speech (often a debate topic). They will speak and receive positive feedback and then constructive feedback. It's a very helpful session and a chance to put into practice what students have learned the week before.
The last session is often an inspirational speech in front of the whole class. It's an opportunity to reinforce the skills they now learned for life.
