Squadron Effective Speaking

3/31/2016

0 Comments

 
For many people, the words “Effective speaking” have a distinct effect.  It is not uncommon to be uncomfortable with delivering prepared or impromptu speeches in front of large groups, but in our increasingly competitive world, it is a valuable skill to learn young.  That is precisely what a small group of cadets at 111 had the experience to do, at our squadron’s Effective Speaking Competition.  After completing an effective speaking instructional program, these cadets had the opportunity to display their skills, delivering one prepared and one impromptu speech in front of a panel of three judges, as well as their family and peers.

While the cadets were understandably nervous, everybody enjoyed themselves, and all of the speeches that were delivered were above the judge’s expectations.  After completing the Squadron effective speaking competition, the winner was chosen to represent 111 at the Wing Effective Speaking Competition, in which cadets from all across the Lower Mainland compete for an opportunity to attend the Provincial and National levels of effective speaking.  While not everyone had the opportunity to advance to the Wing competition, it is safe to say that Effective Speaking is a valuable life skill, and competing in the Squadron competition, as well as attending the course, will make these cadets stronger within the Air Cadet program, as well as in future endeavours.
