Most high school courses teach you what to think, but very few teach you how to articulate those thoughts to get you what you want. Knoqqknoqq is a specialized communication intensive designed for students who want to lead. Whether you are pitching a startup idea, negotiating a later curfew, or sitting down for a college interview, your success depends on your ability to persuade.
Wisdom
"Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel."
"You do not get what you want in life, you get what you negotiate"
"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said."
