The ICCFS Tournament has been innovated into a "Virtual" Tournament.

Dear Friends,
Thank you to all who signed up to volunteer to provide feedback to our students at the upcoming West Columbia and Winnsboro Tournament. In light of current global health conditions and out of an abundance of caution, we are innovating to host a Virtual Tournament. Due to this innovation and the technology we are using, your generous service will not be needed at our formerly in-person tournament.
The Institute for Cultural Communicators has a refreshing approach to preparing students to be ready for their future and that begins with caring well for others and our audience. We want to care well for YOU. Thanks for your support of our efforts to provide safe environments for ALL who participate.
We’ve been excited to share this opportunity with you and regret we won’t get to see you. I hope you'll be able to join us at a tournament next year or at our fall Communicators for Christ conference!

ROUND TABLE TOURNAMENT EXERCISE

At ICCFS Tournaments, eligible speakers are randomly assigned to teams of 5-7 members that remain consistent throughout the tournament. A qualified Student Facilitator is assigned to each team.

Teams are seated around a table. Adult Evaluators are positioned around the outside to observe.

At the beginning of the initial round, all teams are given the same scenario. Over the course of three rounds, students are guided through the steps of ICC's problem-solving model to identify a problem, brainstorm a solution to that problem, and then make a plan of implementation. At the end of each round, the facilitator will present an executive summary to the evaluator.

Team Members and Facilitators receive written feedback for each of the three rounds. Certificates of Excellence and Invitations to the International Tournament are awarded to the top Facilitator(s) and individual Team Members. Top teams will be recognized at local tournaments.

Here’s a gift that’s invaluable. Give the young people in your life the gift of overcoming the greatest fear we all share of speaking in public. We all reap the benefit of their thoughts and ideas clearly expressed with confidence, conviction, and character. Our chapter would love to have you, but if you can’t join us start here. You’ll be so glad you did.

The ICC Academy provides immersive interactive learning for our global community. All content is delivered through the internet.

Here's your scary thought for Halloween: if this is true, how prepared is your student for life?
"In a 2011 Career Builder Survey of more than 2,600 hiring managers and human resource professionals, 71 percent stated they valued emotional intelligence in an employee over IQ"
---- Now here's the treat! Come join us today at 3:15pm at 1364 Cook Rd., Ridgeway (just off I-77). We're developing all of these skills in our global community with real-world experiences. And it's fun! Our last enrollment period for 2019 is next week. Don't miss what your student really needs to succeed.

Here’s why hiring managers say they often value emotional intelligence more highly than IQ.

Congratulations, Jacob! He spoke on his very first community platform today. At 6 years old, he had to work really hard to memorize his lines, know what order they came in, and how to handle a notebook. That’s a big task for someone his age, but this guy took on the challenge with the best attitude and a determination to do his best. He put in the hard work to practice and practice some more. You were the example for us to follow today, Jacob! Way to go!

We’re celebrating a big milestone: a new student leader for our chapter! Congratulations, Madeline! We’re so proud of your hard work to be ready for new responsibilities and your desire to serve others in your chapter. Our students are learning that when you can communicate well, people see you as a leader. It matters what kind of leader you are.
