For Sania Grewal, oral presentations were daunting until she saw a TED Talk where the speaker, like Grewal, had a reserved personality and communication style, but still spoke with great confidence.

During the 2024/2025 competition year with Team Canada, she competed at the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships, winning first place in both impromptu speaking and interpretive reading.

Since 2024, she’s provided a free, weekly drop-in program at the Genesis Centre for children from ages 7 to 12 to refine their speech through activities like improv games that encourage thinking on their feet and build confidence to speak in group settings.

“I learned there is no one way to be good at speaking. There are many different speaking styles. I want to share that with others,” she says.
