Alberta’s #1 public speaking institution

Public speaking is one of the most common fears people have, but Impact Debate Academy’s Public Speaking program helps students overcome this fear—and even enjoy the process! Unlike Debate, Public Speaking isn’t always about proving a point. At Impact Debate, students learn how to confidently prepare, write, edit, and deliver speeches for various occasions. Many of our students and instructors have excelled in speech competitions, with some even representing Canada at the World’s Individual Public Speaking and Debate Championships. Mastering public speaking not only aids in interviews, research, and presentations but also sharpens critical thinking, empowering students to succeed in all areas of life.

GROUP CLASSES

We offer group lessons designed to provide students with a constructive and supportive environment to enhance their skills. One of the most effective ways to improve at Public Speaking is through practice with extensive feedback, and participating in a class with peers makes this possible. Our group lessons aim to transfer our coaches’ expertise to the students and encourage them to apply it through deliberate practice.

PRIVATE LESSONS
