NCG is thrilled to welcome back Loud Speaker to our colleges.
The Liverpool-based organisation has started delivering their live workshops at Lewisham, Newcastle Sixth Form, and Carlisle, with the remaining colleges scheduled for visits in the coming weeks.
The “For Love or Money” workshop offers a safe yet challenging environment, encouraging students to step out of their comfort zones through public speaking.
The sessions were delivered by Loud Speaker facilitators including Calvin Akotuah, founder of Loud Speaker, an organisation that has so far supported over 100,000 young people to realise their ambitions and speak their way to success through the interactive workshops it delivers.
Calvin said: “We are all big speakers around friends, but when it comes to speaking in public or doing presentations, most people suddenly lose their voice, confidence, and enthusiasm. This session is essential to help young people build their confidence and learn how to communicate positively at a crucial point in their life when setting aspirations and shaping their career paths, so they are supported to make the right choices for them and be prepared when approaching employers.”
This experience forms part of the NCG Guarantee, helping students build resilience and self-confidence, essential qualities for their future.
