Give them a skill they can carry forward by improving their Articulation Quotient (AQ®) now.
It's about more more than the interview.
A school interview may be the opportunity ahead. The ability to articulate yourself reaches much further.
Students use it when they ask a question in class, explain an idea, join a new community, or step into leadership.
Ray’s AQ®—Articulation Quotient—framework helps students connect self-understanding with clear, confident expression. Through reflection, examples, and guided practice, this workshop will give them a practical starting point for developing those habits.
Who is this for?
Students ages 12–19 who are:
-
Preparing for private day school, boarding school, or college interviews.
-
Getting ready for an internship, job, or leadership opportunity.
-
Working on expressing their ideas and strengths with greater confidence.
Students can join wherever they are in their development. Curiosity and a willingness to practice are the starting point.
What your student will work on
During the workshop, students will:
-
Recognize a personal strength and connect it with an experience that illustrates it.
-
Build a more meaningful answer to a familiar interview question.
-
Practice adding substance without losing their point.
-
Explore how to listen and connect, making an interview feel more like a thoughtful conversation.
-
Choose one communication habit to practice next, using the five AQ® principles.
The goal is to help students understand themselves more clearly and express the best of who they are.
