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 over 20 years of working in international politics and training candidates, I have never seen a more remarkable improvement in speaking abilities in such a short space of time.
