The Youth Leadership, Public Speaking and English Education program conducted by Speaker and Trainer Farill Farook was successfully concluded with an awards ceremony on 18 March.
The ceremony was attended by James L. Russo, Director/Public Affairs Officer and Rachna Korhonen, Management Officer, US Embassy Colombo, who were the Special Invitees and together with Farook handed out the certificates to the participants.
The program was conducted at the American Centre over a period of six weeks, and received a very positive response, with attendees coming from various parts of Sri Lanka, including Jaffna, Batticaloa, Puttalam, Diyatalawa, Matara, Kandy and Ratnapura, from diverse audiences such as students, professionals and those from the corporate world. The program was conducted in two batches due to the high demand, attracting over 800 applicants from which 150 members received nominations.
The finale covered several model speeches based on positive attitude, language, failures and success, personal journey, and also musical interludes which made it both entertaining and educational.
Some of the feedback from the participants was as follows:
“I like to thank the American Center and facilitator Farill Farook for this wonderful initiative program. This is the first time I participated in a program of such value.”
“This program helped me in improving my skills and become a better speaker and leader.”
“Excellent program, highly motivational, enjoyed and learned many new skills and techniques that could be applied for my future career.”
“The program is educative and entertaining, the facilitator is lively, delivers his points well both with theories and practical examples. Active participation by all, and everyone was carried along which was a hallmark of the program. This program is well coordinated and has supported my career actualisation.”
The Youth Leadership Program is the newest of the many training programmes conducted by Farook, whose previous programs have included training and workshops on motivation, leadership, and communication on both the public and corporate platforms, all of which have been immensely successful.
