This interactive workshop builds practical leadership and communication skills through real-life scenarios. Participants choose a scenario and practice different leadership communication styles with support, using STIR-style “steps for success” and simple tips for all communicators.
The focus is confidence through practice: your voice matters, your story can create change, and you belong in every room—at school, at work, and in the community. Designed for youth leadership development and self-advocacy, with facilitated reflection and takeaways participants can use immediately.
