The place where children and teens
find their voice.
We started from one belief. Every child already has a voice.
What gets in the way is rarely a lack of ideas. It is anxiety, uncertainty, and the gap between what they feel inside and what they can say out loud.
Our job is to close that gap. Not by giving children a new voice. By helping them find the one they already have.
Why Singapore's most reviewed communication trainer built a public speaking enrichment programme for children.
Iwan Yang spent over a decade coaching working professionals, executives, and business leaders across Singapore and Asia in communication, presentation, and leadership.
Over time, he kept noticing the same thing.
The gaps that held people back were not new. They were not caused by a demanding career or a high-pressure workplace. They had been there since childhood. Most of these adults had never been taught to express what they actually thought. They had learned to be articulate. Not to be heard.
Singapore's academic system is rigorous and ambitious. But it leaves almost no room for a child to practise thinking out loud, disagreeing respectfully, or speaking under pressure without a script.
That observation, combined with what he was seeing as a father of two boys, moved Iwan to create SuperMinds. A public speaking enrichment programme built specifically to give children and teens the communication skills, the confidence, and the character that school does not teach but life absolutely demands.
Three beliefs behind every SuperMinds public speaking enrichment class.
Most children are not short of ideas. They are short of the structure, the confidence, and the words to express those ideas in a way that lands.
Every child already has something worth saying.
The job of a good public speaking enrichment programme is not to install a voice where there was none. It is to draw out the voice that is already there and give it the structure to be heard.
Communication is not a talent. It is a skill.
Children are not born confident speakers or hesitant ones. They develop into one or the other depending on the environment, the guidance, and the practice they receive. Which means every child can grow, at any age, from any starting point.
The earlier it starts, the longer it builds.
Public speaking enrichment is a long-term investment. A child who begins developing communication skills at nine has an advantage that grows quietly and consistently across every year of school, every interview, and every room they will ever walk into.
SuperMinds draws out the voice every child already has.
Our public speaking enrichment classes in Singapore are built around one conviction. The child in front of us already has something worth saying. Everything we do is designed to draw that out.
A programme that starts with the child, not the curriculum.
Every child who walks into SuperMinds is different. Different in how they think, what they are ready to say, and where they are holding back. Our public speaking enrichment classes are built around that child, not a fixed syllabus they have to fit into. Progress feels natural because it is rooted in who they actually are.
Small enough that every child is heard.
Every SuperMinds class has a maximum of 8 students. Every child speaks in every session. No one waits at the back. No one gets lost in a large group. Being heard, repeatedly and consistently, is what builds the kind of confidence that lasts.
Expression over performance, always.
SuperMinds teaches children to use their voice, their body language, and their presence as tools for genuine expression, not theatrical performance. The goal is never a child who looks and sounds like a speaker. It is a child who thinks clearly, speaks authentically, and connects with whoever is in front of them. Those skills transfer from a PSLE oral examination to a job interview to every conversation that follows.
A skill that builds across every term, not just one.
Each SuperMinds session is a standalone topic. Children can join at any point in the term without missing out. But the children who return term after term develop something that compounds quietly. Better at presenting. More composed under pressure. More fully themselves in rooms that used to make them shrink.
Three things change when a child finds their voice.
Character, Communication, and Confidence are not three separate goals. When a child learns to express themselves clearly and authentically, all three develop together.
Confidence
The confidence SuperMinds develops is not built on applause or getting it right in front of an audience. It is the quiet certainty that comes from having been heard, having practised, and having discovered through experience that what you have to say is worth saying.
That kind of confidence does not need a stage. It shows up in a classroom, an interview room, and every ordinary moment in between.
Communication
Communication is not the ability to talk. It is the ability to make what you think and feel understood by another person.
Most children have rich inner lives. Opinions, ideas, observations, questions that never make it out clearly because no one has ever taught them how. SuperMinds gives children the structure, the language, and the practice to close that gap. Between what they think and what they say. Between who they are and how they come across.
Character
Most parents do not think of public speaking as a character-building activity. But the ability to speak honestly, listen genuinely, and hold a conversation with real attention is one of the deepest expressions of who a person is.
At SuperMinds, children do not just learn how to speak. They learn how to show up as themselves, consistently and with integrity, in every interaction they have. That is character. Built one conversation at a time.
Founded by someone who has seen both sides of the gap.
Iwan Yang spent years coaching executives and professionals who were held back not by a lack of intelligence or expertise, but by an inability to communicate it. He kept tracing those gaps back to childhood. To classrooms and homes where speaking up clearly and confidently had never been taught or practised.
A Toastmasters champion, ICF Certified Coach, and MOE-registered educator, Iwan is also a father of two boys. He brought everything he had learned at the professional level into a programme designed from the ground up around how children actually learn to find and use their voice.
Every SuperMinds programme reflects his approach. Structured enough to give children a foundation. Personal enough to meet every child where they are, and draw out the voice they already have.
Every SuperMinds programme.
One clear goal.
Every SuperMinds programme is built around the same belief. Every child and teen already has something worth saying. Find the format that fits where your child is right now.

"Coach Iwan has been fantastic with both my kids, Caden and Reagan. They genuinely enjoy the lessons and always look forward to class. His teaching style is engaging, encouraging, and helps build both confidence and skills. We have seen positive growth in them over time. My older child enjoyed it so much that he will be coming back for the second part later this year. Highly recommended!"
