"In my four years involved in speech and debate competition, some of the most impactful teaching I have ever received came from Tena Crosby. In her workshop, she not only helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses as a communicator, but she transformed my entire attitude towards speech and debate. This year has been one of the best years of competition for me and I owe a huge part of that to Tena Crosby's teaching. I would highly recommend attending her workshop." Abigail B. - Student “Mrs. Crosby's communication class is hands down the best class I have ever taken. Everyone, of all ages, should take it. It not only helped me gain skills to communicate more effectively in a professional sense, but it also gave me skills to understand myself and others around me in a more personal sense as well. I am notable to resolve arguments and understand others in a more educated and charitable manner. Thank you, Mrs. Crosby” Abigail S.- Student “Of all the lectures and workshops I have watched over my four years as a debater, I have yet to attend one that even comes close to the caliber Tena Crosby gives. As a successful communicator herself, Mrs. Crosby teaches on the type information you want and need to hear. Her class helped me understand the unique strengths and weaknesses my speaking style presents. Not only that, but she gave detailed information on how I could become a better more rounded speaker. If you have the time, I would highly recommend participating in her workshop. You won’t regret it!” Chris B.- Student |
Parents and Coaches
“Our competitors still talk about this workshop two year later. I still remember the vulnerability as people shared what was important to them and how other types of communication could hurt. All of us gained a new appreciation both for the muscles that we default to and the muscles that are not yet developed, in ways that helped both our relationships and our communication skills. Ms. Crosby does a great job at explaining and valuing the strengths of each group in her quest to help us understand one another.” Sherril F. - Speech/Debate Parent, Coach “Our three kids took Tena’s communication workshop the last two summers during debate camp. This was our son Sam’s first exposure to debate and being a [quiet] introvert, he just didn’t see himself fitting in with all the outgoing and loud communicators. Tena’s workshop changed all that! In just two days Sam discovered that his communication style, although quieter than his two siblings, was also shared by others. What affirmation! Tena's fun, engaging and hands on approach enlightens students by discovering their unique communications gifting, empowers them to empathize with others of different strengths and equips them to impact their judges to the fullest.” Jean R. - Debate Parent, Coach “I benefitted personally, our family was positively impacted, and our club really came together as a community and still talks about the class and what they learned. Most important, I’ve seen kids speak and listen with greater clarity and charity. I know it has made them better debaters, friends, and evangelizers. Highly recommended.” Jennifer S. - Speech/Debate Parent, Coach, and Club Director |
