Nigeria’s foremost public speaking training organisation, School of Eloquence, is set to host its maiden alumni dinner for its former students in the Federal Capital Territory this weekend.
The institution boasts an alumni network of reputable individuals, who have used the training garnered to boost their careers in private and public service positions.
The dinner, which would feature interactions and speaking sessions for all attendees, will be an opportunity for alumni members to network. It also holds the prospect for further communication skills development. Ahead of the evening get-together planned for October 29, at Rockview Hotel, FCT at 7:00 pm, the Dean of the School, Ubong Essien, has assured participants and guests of a rewarding meeting.
The occasion will also be used to formally induct members into the Eloquence Club, Nigeria’s premier indigenous public speaking support and learning community, where members will meet monthly to continue to hone their speaking skills, and enhance confidence for application in their various real-life and work situations. It is open to individuals and professionals from all walks of life: business, politics, education, entertainment, ecumenical, political, and royal classes. The Eloquence Club aims to engender knowledge sharing among its members in a supportive and sociable environment.
Membership of the School of Eloquence has grown rapidly since its inception in June 2006 by West Africa’s first Certified Speaking Professional, Essien, cutting across various strata of society, drawn from the public and private sectors. Aside from the conventional classes, the school runs bespoke training sessions tailored toward students’ individual needs.
