Tremendous experience this afternoon at The Royal Institution as chair of judges for the Grand Final of The English-Speaking Union International Public Speaking competition.

Six magnificent young speakers representing Mongolia, Romania, Mauritius, Mexico, Sri Lanka & Chile.

Massive warmth, energy and support from the 25 National Winners who didn’t quite make the Grand Final - as well as from other members of the live audience in attendance.

The lecture theatre of the Royal Institution (home of the televised Christmas Lectures) is one of the most fabled speaking spaces in the UK.

Young speakers from around the world did that tradition proud today.

Inspiring stuff!

In 2018, Simon coached me with public speaking, style, helped write my pitch, and gave me every imaginable tip to manage my nerves, present with esteem, conviction and win over the audience - with his help I went on to pitch to 3,000 people and win the World Social Enterprise competition. I cannot recommend him more highly to any CEO or senior executive looking to perfect their public speaking and win over an audience.
