AYC Synopsis
Our unique character development program involves self motivation, public speaking and presentation skills.  It seeks to give all students an ‘experiential learning’ experience.  Students will put learning into practice in situations to build real world experiences, experiences that have both benefits and consequences.  Students are encouraged to make discoveries and experiment with knowledge themselves, instead of hearing or reading about the experiences of others.  

What is personal mastery? It’s that powerful inner force that tells you to never give up, never look back and never settle for less than you know you deserve.  Even in tough times, you can take control of your life and learn ways to thrive, not just survive.  Personal Mastery will help the students to build the momentum they needs in order to create explosive, lasting change in the areas of their life that matter most.

Public speaking is so dynamic with the style of speaking changing according to the times and needs of the listeners. Every speaker is different, and even the listeners are different.  They vary from culture to culture, from country to country.  Students will learn that the more they speak the better they are, provided they receive feedback instantly from someone who is knowledgeable in oral communication. Eventually the students will develop their own style of presentation and people will identify them with that unique style of theirs.

The essential skills for students taking project work in schools will include use of voice (enunciation, tonality, articulation and pacing), fluency and clarity of speech, awareness of audience, body language and ability to answer questions on the spot.  Students will be coached in small groups to craft their presentation from their written report. 

Themes of our adventure training program typically address:
Character-building; Leadership; team bonding; survival; ruggedness and adventure; self-esteem and self-confidence; appreciation of (marine) nature and local culture; programs incorporating Asian history, economy and culture.
