My daughter was shy before attending Cogito Debate. After taking some of the classes, she is now carrying herself in a more outspoken and confident way. We believe the training she received at Cogito Debate gave her more confidence to speak up.

My son, who usually hates public speaking, found this class to be helpful in the areas of voice projection and self confidence. He actually said that he enjoyed this course very much. He is still very shy, and he hates to be in the center of attention, but for him to say that it was a positive experience for him is surprising. The instructor was fun and supportive of him, which was why he felt safe and comfortable participating in class. Thank you Cogito Debate (In the city of Brea) for being sensitive and kind to my son. He is making small but productive steps towards speaking in public.
