THERE IS A GREAT LEADER
INSIDE EVERY CHILD
Our purpose at Speak is to empower kids discover their inherent potential to be great leaders.
We envision a world where children excel not only in their technical skills within their respective fields, but also foster exceptional leadership qualities within themselves. Our aim is to cultivate a future filled with remarkable personalities who have the power to impress, inspire, and influence the world, ultimately creating a positive impact in the universe
Farweez is a unique individual with a profound mission: to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of children and young adults. He dedicates his boundless energy to fostering their growth and personal development, helping them evolve as both skilled communicators and well-rounded individuals.
The inception of this program stemmed from Farweez’s realization that many children, plagued by a lack of confidence and the fear of public speaking, never truly have the chance to uncover their full potential and shine on stage. Despite labels such as ‘slow learners’ or ‘low-ability,’ he firmly believes that every child harbors the potential to become a great leader. His unwavering commitment is to transform lives and guide each child in discovering the exceptional leader within.
In 2017, with a mere 15 children and an audacious dream of igniting personal transformations, we embarked on an extraordinary journey. Rooted in our unwavering belief that ‘There is A Great Leader Inside Every Child,’ we set out to revolutionize the concept of personality development.
Our path was far from smooth, as we were pioneers in the field of personality transformation academies. However, our commitment to delivering tangible results and providing genuine value propelled us forward. With each day of perseverance, every moment of dedication to our students’ growth, and our continuous investment in their transformation, we bore witness to remarkable stories of personal development.
Step by step, student by student, we were astounded to discover that indeed, every child possesses the potential to become a leader. It was when parents began to observe these incredible transformations that they, too, placed their faith in Speak’s mission. We consider the trust we painstakingly nurtured and continue to steadfastly uphold to be our most valuable asset. It’s this trust that consistently brings parents back to Speak, entrusting us with their most precious possessions – their children.
Today, Speak proudly stands as a leading Personality Transformation academy in Sri Lanka and the first Sri Lankan institution to be chosen to present its Innovative Model of Personality Transformation at the world’s largest grassroots education conference. Our journey continues, and our dedication to unlocking the leader within every child remains unshaken.
