Our CEE fellow, Chow Mong Marma, successfully concluded his EmpowerSpeak workshop series at Riis Academy-InfoTech on April 9th, leading a final public speaking session with a cohort of 12 students.
Chow designed the EmpowerSpeak series, comprising five 90-minute sessions, to equip our students with essential public speaking and communication skills to enhance their post-secondary pursuits in career and education.
During the culminating session, each participant delivered a speech on a personal challenge they had overcome, comparing it to their initial presentation at the beginning of the course. A notable improvement was evident from the program’s start to the final session, with all students reporting heightened self-confidence and displaying assured body language during their speeches.
As a token of recognition for their hard work and commitment to self-improvement throughout the course, each student received a $100 gift card.
Congratulations to the students, and a heartfelt thank you to Chow and Program Director Mike Reiger for their dedication to the students’ growth.
