Cor Public Speaking - For Kids!

Cor is Latin for Heart, and the most impactful public speaking comes from the heart.

In a safe and supportive environment, your child will begin to share with their peers about what matters to them. The mechanics of public speaking such as vocal tone, eye contact and body gestures all flow naturally when it comes from the heart. The goal of this course is to gently and smoothly acclimate your child to learning to know, use and express their voice in a group setting.

Vani Asthana

Vani was born and raised in Varanasi, India, one of the oldest living cities in the world, situated at the banks of the holy river Ganges with a level of cultural depth like few others. During her upbringing in this melting pot she grew up with a family that often had an enormous assembly of friends and other relatives over at every birthday, festival and celebration. Within these gatherings what always brought everybody together was the food; the flavors passed down from grandmother, to mother, to daughter and all the cousins, uncles, aunts and friends in between. So, right from the early years of her upbringing she was no stranger to cooking and helping in the kitchen and that’s how she got to where she is today; an accomplished cook with an arsenal of dishes to teach you all. Vani believes that at its core, cooking is akin to meditation or yoga. She tries to convey this idea through each example of her teaching endeavors, and to herself every time she lights the stove. Don’t miss Vani’s Indian Cooking Series (pg. 40).
