SpeakEtc. Brings its Unique Corporate Communication Training to NYC Schools
SpeakEtc. partners with innovative East Harlem charter high school and works with Upper West Side private school.
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 15, 2010
Robyn Hatcher of SpeakEtc. is pleased to announce her partnership with The Renaissance Charter High School for Innovation, a new Charter High School in East Harlem. SpeakEtc. will be working with students and faculty at Innovation helping them become more engaging, powerful and successful communicators.
Innovation is not the only NYC school that has reached out to SpeakEtc. Over the summer Robyn worked with the faculty of a private Episcopal school on the Upper West Side. She will return to the school this week to prepare the faculty for their upcoming curriculum night presentations. Says Robyn, “I am so encouraged that these two schools recognize how vital the art of face to face communication is. In this day and age, when so much information is transmitted electronically, we all need to learn and practice the important skills that go into effective in-person communication."
Renaissance Charter High School for Innovation is located at 410 East 100th Street. Its goal is to provide a high achieving, humanistic model of education with a curriculum that combines exceptional classroom instruction, project based learning through student portfolio work, and hands-on, experiential learning. It has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and the Daily News. The principal, Nicholas Tishuk, and Robyn met at a Department of Education presentation and realized how well their missions complimented each other. SpeakEtc. has already given one workshop to the faculty and will work with students once a week starting in November.
SpeakEtc. creative training works on the non-verbal elements of communication – body language, gestures, vocal quality as well as the verbal – word choice, content and organization. Her unique approach also identifies and works with client’s strengths, core values, and passion. She is available for media appearances and can speak on topics such as: How to be an Engaging Interviewer; Nonverbal Skills to Help Your Child Avoid Bullying; The Power of Non Verbal Communication; How to Communicate for a Great First Date; Effective Elevator Pitches; Don’t Just Inform, Inspire; Don’t Just Present, Engage and other topics.
