Yash, a shy 10-year-old child, showed a keen interest in improving his public speaking and social skills. He was receptive but lacked confidence in expressing himself effectively.

Challenge or Goal:

The primary goal was to help Yash overcome his shyness and develop strong public speaking and social skills. The parent emphasized the importance of Yash being able to express himself confidently and engage effectively in social situations.

Pre-assessment Result:

Yash’s main challenge was indeed his shyness, which hindered his ability to communicate effectively. While the parent’s concerns aligned with Yash’s, the focus was primarily on developing confidence and social interaction skills rather than academic performance.

Coaching Approach:

The coaching approach involved a combination of public speaking techniques and social skill development. This included structured exercises to improve voice modulation, body language, and organization of thoughts for effective communication. Additionally, sessions were designed to teach Ayub how to initiate and sustain conversations, make new friends, and assert himself in various social settings.

Parent’s Note:

The personal coaching session was really great and the best part was that Yash was always looking forward to attend these sessions with interest. The trainer analysed him well and understood his needs. I felt a lot of positive changes in him, with regard to his voice modulation or the way he organizes his content for a speech. Kudos to the whole team of CueKids for working towards empowering the future generations!
