We are a communication academy that specializes
in using a science-based method to help children
overcome shyness and prevent public speaking anxiety
later in life. We believe that children have the
right to have their thoughts heard, acknowledged,
and empowered, and to be given the perfect
environment to learn how to be a leader.
Our academy was founded by Ester Du Von, CEO of
Empowerment Communications Inc., which specializes
in communication skill training for adults. She
realized that many of the adult anxieties associated
with presenting in front of others stemmed from
negative early-childhood classroom experiences.
These experiences have been wired in the brain, and
later in life they can cause anxiety, stomach
sickness, shaking, forgetfulness, and panic. Studies
show that three-fourths of adults fear public
speaking situations, and many decline social,
academic, and professional opportunities in order to
avoid triggering this very anxiety. Ester knew that
this problem can be stopped before it ever starts if
the proper instruction is delivered in childhood.
Ester then formulated the Kids Empowerment Method,
which not only stops a child from developing fear
associated with public speaking, but also
simultaneously establishes positive, endorphin-based
responses to being in front of the class and leading
others. The Kids Empowerment Method creates an ideal
environment for a child to grow, learn, and
establish solid leadership and communication skills.
What Does the Kids Empowerment Method Provide?
- Imaginative role play that inspires quick learning
- A series of endorphin-based learning experiences that establish solid communication skills
- Removal of fear factors, allowing children to express themselves fully in front of others
- Specialized classroom facilitation in a free communication forum
- Polished instruction: eye contact, body language techniques, vocal projection, articulation
- Our novel academic environment stimulates the brain to take notice and learn
- Role-play curriculum develops frontal cortex skills (social and reasoning)
- Endorphin-based lessons form strong neural transmitter bonding
- Promotion of neural learning pathways builds the foundation of personality and ability
- Soft skills are established through repetition before “brain pruning” begins around age 11
How Does the Kids Empowerment Method Change Lives?
- Children grow eager to express their ideas to others
- They build self-confidence and pride in their ideas, as well as their place in peer groups
- Children are inspired to seek out leadership opportunities
- They are transformed into strong communicators who
speak with confidence
