Since 2010, I started mentoring students for the purpose of preparing them for official Public Speaking competitions and tournaments, in a part-time capacity.

 

This role includes speechwriting, as well as the adjudication of Public Speaking competitions. I am proud to have been able to assist 30 public speakers mentored under my guidance in reaching the final round of their respective competitions.

 

Assisting future leaders with such an important skill gives me a massive sense of self-fulfilment and seeing my students succeed brings me much happiness.

Marianna has successfully coached and written speeches for public speakers taking part in the following competitions: 

•    Op die tong af
•    Atristiculta
•    ATKV Redenaars
•    Radikale Redenaars
