I remember the first time my little girl got onto the stage to give a short speech. I remember what I told her about looking at the audience, getting the modulations right and letting go of her fears. My husband insists we play videos of orators like Martin Luther King, Fidel Castro and Barack Obama right from a young age to inspire our daughter to become a successful orator. We started looking up for the speech transcripts of these successful leaders and let me tell you, it was not an easy task.
If you are a parent who is keen on raising a successful orator, here is a list of the best young achievers who will inspire your child. If you are looking for something more, here is the book you will need that we are talking about in this week’s KSP Book Club.
