About The Communication Collective
Communication has always been the key propeller of growth and progression of a society. Effective expression of thoughts and ideas is as important as the generation of those thoughts and ideas. With the world changing, this skill has become even more important as all relationships and interactions, whether personal, academic, or professional, are largely dependent on effective communication. When children find themselves in new or challenging environments, it is vital that they have the right tools to adapt to that new environment, or to create a new outcome altogether, through effective communication and interaction with others. Children are creative, innovative, and hold the power to create great change in the world...providing them with the essential tools to do so is The Communication Collective's mission.
​
Industry experts Adrienne Wallace of Online Speech Services and Sonia Sethi Kohli of The Global Speech Suite knew that they wanted to help children develop the confidence and skills to become effective communicators and engaging leaders. They also knew they wanted to create a safe space that allowed children to flourish in their creativity, broaden their connections with others, and develop foundational communication skills that they could confidently use in any situation.
​
After many thoughtful discussions, Adrienne and Sonia decided to expand their individual communication coaching programs for adult professionals to jointly create an online platform where school-aged children and teens could receive opportunities and tools that would allow them to: connect with other peers from all parts of the world and all walks of life, explore their own unique strengths and how they can add value, collaborate with a diverse group of peers to learn from and inspire one another, and learn how to connect and communicate in a meaningful manner across all contexts.
Using their extensive background knowledge of the foundations of speech and language development, their understanding of best practices to engage learners of various age ranges and learning styles, their deep-seated expertise in training and customizing curriculums for individuals and groups, their first-hand practical experiences gained from serving as employees, transitioning to leadership roles, evolving into business owners and entrepreneurs, and their understanding of the vital importance of strong communication skills as parents themselves, The Communication Collective's Camp Connect, Camp Engage, Camp Inspire, & Camp Transform were born.
​
The Communication Collective involves fun, interactive online programs that focus on strengthening public speaking and social skills, building confidence, developing leadership, and more! We look forward to connecting with you and having you join The Communication Collective's growing community!
