What sets this program apart
Program Curriculum
Foundations of Communication & Confidence
Stage fear addressed head-on from Day 1. Students deliver an unscripted 1-minute talk in Session 1 and build from there. Confidence rituals, breath control, and audience-first thinking introduced practically. Activities: speak about a random object for 90 seconds with no preparation; explain AI to a 10-year-old in 90 seconds.
Storytelling Mastery — TED Framework
Students learn to identify one powerful idea, build it into a structured story using the Hero’s Journey and throughline concept. By end of module, each student has a complete Teen TED Talk drafted and ready for delivery coaching. Activities: deconstruct a TED talk, find the throughline; map personal story to Hero’s Journey.
Public Speaking Mastery — Toastmasters Model
Turning a great script into a great performance. Vocal technique, body language, stage presence, eye contact, impromptu speaking (Table Topics), and persuasive speaking. Students evaluate each other’s speeches using Toastmasters structured feedback methods.
Tarkashastra Debate & Logical Thinking
The ancient Indian tradition of structured reasoning. Students learn to construct valid arguments, recognise logical fallacies, rebut under pressure, and engage in formal parliamentary debate. Activities: identify the fallacy in 10 real arguments; first full parliamentary debate round.
Influence & Leadership Communication
Ethical persuasion — the difference between influence and manipulation. How leaders communicate in crisis, how to handle hostile questions, how to project authority without aggression. Activity: handle a hostile Q&A panel.
