| The Trainer and 8 participants | |
So finally, after a space of nearly 4 months, we have moved the programme back to Crystal Crown Hotel, PJ.
It was a lively session with 8 participants from different backgrounds united by the desire to empower their lives through public speaking skills. Two came from outstation - Penang and Kuantan, respectively. One participant was sent by his company to attend the course to prepare for an upcoming major presentation. Another participant was invited to attend to preview the course fo her company.
As usual, the participants learned a lot and were transformed by the trainer's magical touch as they went through rounds of practice. For me personally (who had sat through the programme many times), the most exciting part was when the trainer showed some new videos of our local politicians speaking. Yes, Azmi is always full of surprises and new tricks!

At the end of the programme, some of the participants expressed regret at not having attended the programme earlier. However, they were comforted when told that we had started to actively conduct public programmes only in early 2009. So they did not miss very much!
As the saying goes, all's well that ends well. I guess it's true for this programme. We are just so glad to have met and impacted the lives of 8 precious fellow human beings.

Dare To Speak™ Public Speaking Programme for College & University Students
18 & 19 July 2009
@ 11C, Jalan SS 21/60, Damansara Utama
Wow! I say "Wow" for 2 reasons. Firstly, despite the herculean effort we put into setting this programme (including distributing flyers), we managed to recruit only 3 college/university students. Secondly, I miraculously managed to convince 3 more persons to join the class at short notice, so we didn't cancel and it turned out to be one of the best sessions we ever had!
 |  |
| The show went on despite low numbers | |
It also turned out that the 3 students were soccer fans supporting 3 different clubs. This matter became the subject of some speeches (and counter speeches) which made it all the more fun!
Oh yes, we had our first foreign participant. Noel Kituto from Kenya had been wanting to attend our class since March but was unable to due to outstation work assignments. I contacted her and she was very willing to join the students' group. Two other participants were returning graduates who wanted a refresher.

| Manchester United | AC Milan | Liverpool |
At the end of the programme, Noel commented that the trainer Azmi Shahrin was like a "healer". Throughout the programme, he had gently coached each participant, brought out the best in them, and not let anyone give up. I am sure the rest of the participants felt the same way.
In short, I am glad we went ahead with the programme. However, we have to think of more effective means to recruit more participants in this category for future sessions. College and university students are at the threshold of a new chapter in life where they will need public speaking skills like never before! We must reach out to help them!
