Reviews for Kids Life Skills Classes in Los Angeles

Kids Life Skills Classes in Los Angeles are rated 4.5 stars based on 14 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Well repared and organized. Instructor is knowledgeable and friendly. Very easy to approach.
  • My son enjoyed the class and asked to sign him up for another week!
  • Hmmmm.. Was awe inspiring for me. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. It was absolutely a worthwhile experience for me! Looking forward to more!
  • I've been coming to Captivating Speakers for more than three years. Chanti Niven is in a class by herself when it comes to pulling the best out of you for public speaking. She has an intuitive way about her that sees what we cannot see in ourselves and then coaches us to improve exponentially. I recommend any of the Captivating Courses without reservation. You will not be disappointed.
  • I have attended many Captivating events including Speakers Gym, Creative Minds Storytelling, and 3 Day Bootcamp (also known as Rapid Results Program). Every one has provided lessons, tips and practice in skills that help me improve in all areas of communication, from telling personal stories to speaking to groups in public. My confidence has increased, and I have learned the art of using humor and vocal variety to engage my audiences. You will too when you join us!
  • Anything Captivating offers is worth at least 6 stars if not 10. The best public speaking instruction in the world.
  • I’ve been looking for public speaking classes and club Captivating Speakers fullfiled my needs and more. I can’t recommend it enough. I’m growing as a person and improving my public speaking skills while having fun. 10 stars out of 10.
  • I've been studying speaking with Chantal Niven for a few years, since I hired her to help me publicize a book. During this time, my confidence has grown exponentially, and I've moved from daring to do a radio interview (2015) to participating in speaking competitions - and winning - on a regular basis. I now speak, professionally and for fun, once or twice a month, and people frequently, mistakenly, think I'm naturally confident and have been doing it all my life. The best training I know of, for whatever kind of speaking one is doing, is the Captivating Speakers Gym. We get a mixture of support and critique that sends us out, every session, better speakers. I can't recommend it enough.
  • First let me say that Chanti Nivens has an incredible grasp on what it takes to be an incredible speaker. But what she has an even better skill is knowing how to explain it to you in a way that reaches you. I was able to take the feedback she provided and readily incorporate it into my subsequent speaking. The improvement in my speaking skills was dramatic. Not to mention that you get the benefit of feedback from others who are quite accomplished as well adding depth to the feedback you are receiving as a student. No where on this planet can you find training this good.
