Isabel Kadoorie

Isabel Kadoorie is a software engineer (MS EE, MS CS) and long-time toastmaster.  She served as Club officers in several Toastmasters clubs and as District 18 Administration Manager. She is devoted to helping children and youth develop communication and leadership skills. "Public speaking skills will do wonders for your life," she often said to kids. She started a Youth Gavel Club in 2019. To better serve the needs of young people, she then teamed with Dr. Sunny Fridge to architect the Speak & Shine® Academy. Isabel's Child, Angela, has been a member of the Academy and the Club since the very beginning. Along with many other student members, Angela learned how to be a better communicator and confident speaker.  Speak & Shine has been helping more and more young people unleash their inner power!

Our History

Speak & Shine Academy was launched during the Pandemic. What first seemed like an obstacle became an opportunity when organizations had to pivot from holding face-to-face meetings and meet online.  Surprisingly, we have found that kids enjoy technology and benefit more from online public speaking.
