Breaking your Bad Cycle - "A New Beginning."
10-lesson English Communication, Confidence, and Mindset development course for adults and Individuals aged 16 years and above.

Centered around "presentations" as its core, this 10-lesson course requires learners to work on refining their abilities in presenting information effectively. In lesson 6, students will be expected to give a presentation to apply the skills they have learned.

​

Our first step will be to take a systematical approach toward deconstructing mindset errors that cause:

 

  1. Repetitive communication patterns that prevent progress

  2. Lack of fluency
  3. Pronunciation and accent challenges
  4. Limited vocabulary
  5. Grammar and language structure errors
  6. Poor word and sentence delivery speed and tone
  7. Lack of clarity in speech
  8. Communication anxiety and lack of confidence
  9. Listening comprehension difficulties
  10.Ineffective communication strategies
  11. Cultural unawareness and bad non-verbal communication

  12. Overused words

  13. Uncontrolled focus and attention

  14. unnecessary verbal and visual clutter

 

You'll need to pay close attention and take regular notes throughout the course for further practice between lessons.

  

Together, we will take the further necessary steps to continue working to improve your overall oral communication skills, in order to facilitate positive developments in your working, and social relationships. 

 

Some areas to work on to improve our persuasive skills are:

  1. Vocabulary expansion

  2.  Active listening 

  3.  The development of strong logical reasoning

  4.  Enhancement of non-verbal communication

Through the process of revising and reconstructing these essential elements, this course aims to liberate you from the confines of ineffective communication patterns. By equipping you with exceptional proficiency in communication, you will be able to stand out from the crowd. Our ultimate objective is to establish a cycle of continuous improvement, unlocking boundless potential for personal and professional growth.
