TORONTO, April 20, 2015 \u2013 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n
Business communications experts, McLuhan & Davies, announces the launch of a new communication-skills workshop for students: Think on Your Feet\u00ae FOUNDATIONS.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years our executive clients have been telling us that our techniques would apply to their children,\u201d says CEO Roger HB Davies.<\/p>\n
This coupled with growing interest from affiliates in South Africa, Taiwan and Germany, drove MDC to create a new program for students focussed on developing the most fundamental life skill of their formative years \u2013 structured communication.<\/p>\n
Think on Your Feet\u00ae FOUNDATIONS was piloted on March 3-4, 2015 in Toronto with participants from two prominent independent schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey saw what we were doing as complementary to their existing curriculum and skill development,\u201d Davies says. \u201cThis includes coverage of how to profile your audience so you can adjust your content. It also covers structured communication, and performing skill development.\u201d<\/p>\n
The workshop reflects the changing demands for students who now need to be prepared for increasingly competitive post-secondary environments. Strong video and face-to-face interviews skills are required to obtain coveted internships, summer jobs and gain acceptance into a school or program of choice.<\/p>\n
During the workshop students design a presentation after profiling their audience. They then present and practice their performing skills, while being videotaped. All under the watchful eye of an instructor who provides real-time feedback.<\/p>\n
\u201cSkill development of this type is not normally available at the high school level,\u201d points out Nick Kovacs, head of the Upper School at Crescent School in Toronto. \u201cIt speaks to parents that are looking for extracurricular skill development to give their children a competitive edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s students are tomorrow\u2019s leaders. They need to learn how to present their ideas \u2014 with confidence. This workshop will be their FOUNDATION to help them grow, to help them show and to help them succeed.
\nThink on Your Feet\u00ae FOUNDATIONS is available now in North America and internationally as of summer 2015.<\/p>\n
