Dr Laura Penn

Dr. Laura Penn is a UWC parent of Lucas ‘24 (UWC Atlantic College) and Linnea ‘22 (UWC Dilijan). Laura is founder of The Leadership Speaking School, based in Switzerland, and an international expert in the Speaking Arts and Leadership Communication. Within her role, Laura supports leaders, teams and motivated youth to become authentic communicators of the digital age.

We have been privileged that Laura has donated a substantial amount of her time to teach our students communication and leadership skills and this was her reflection on the time she spent coaching UWC Atlantic students.

“This past March, I had the privilege of spending a week teaching UWC Atlantic students the art of leadership speaking. I donated my time and my expertise to support them with the skills they need to both survive and thrive as communicators in today’s world. It was a highlight of my year to do this work and to experience the joy and the appreciation that it brought to students. I’ve already signed up to do it again next year…for two weeks!”
