According to national surveys, the fear of public speaking ranks among people's top dreads, surpassing fear of illness, flying, terrorism, and even the fear of death.

• The ability to speak confidently and effectively in public is learned behavior

• Schools often focus on teaching content collection, but rarely on how to give a presentation

• Comfortable and confident public speakers are seen as strong leaders

• Fear of public speaking is consistently ranked as people's # 1 fear

• There are only two ways to succeed in public speaking: preparation and repetition. That's why your child needs Talkstars!

 Public speaking and presentation skills are learned skills.  Yet, in most school curriculums, they are approached more as an ancillary element or skillset.  Children are generally expected to speak publicly and frequently present things in their classrooms, but how to deliver their content isn’t generally an area of focus so much as the focus on the content itself.  Talkstars! takes a different approach...one that will have kids feeling a presentation is just a conversation!
