College of Public Speaking Corporate Challenge 2010
This year's lead judge was Rachel Elnaugh of the Dragons' Den fame.
![]() | The College of Public Speaking Corporate Challenge 2010 was a major success on October 25th at the English-Speaking Union's Headquarters in Mayfair. Ten finalists spoke to a hundred strong audience on the theme of 'Creating long term economic prosperity...' Five independent judges, led by Rachel Elnaugh were staggered by the quality of the speaking. Following a long deliberation the results were announced in reverse order: Third - George Anstey of Nera Consulting. Runner-up - Anthony Gell of The Business Voice (bvo.com). The 2010 Corporate Challenge Champion is Texan, Laura McCracken a consultant with Wrightson Wood, pictured with Rachel Elnaugh (centre). |

Experience ----- Qualifications ----- Focus
Experience
'Public Speaking Training by Trained Public Speakers'.Our trainers are all successful public speakers, including National public speaking prize winners and UK speech champions. This is coupled with years of experience training and coaching in fields as diverse as Sales, IT and project management. This means all coaching and advice is based on current 'live' practical experience, and all hints and tips are based on solid, up to date experience of what really works.

Qualifications
'College of Public Speaking is unique in offering nationally accredited qualifications'.Many people take our Public Speaking Training simply to improve their confidence and ability to present. However many others realise that having a recognised qualification, whether as a presenter or as a trainer gives extra assurance to any potential employer or client. This is why we offer a BTEC Advanced Level Award in 'Public Speaking and Presentations' and a BTEC Professional Award in 'Training the Trainer'. BTEC awards are nationally administered by Edexcel, and as such are recognised across the UK as a benchmark for practical skills in job competencies.
Commited to excellence, all senior trainers at the College of Public Speaking are undergoing a programme of attaining the Chartered Institute of Professional Development Certified Trainer Practitioner qualification from September 2009.
Focus
'What you do always speaks louder than what you say'.We place the core principles of public speaking at the heart of all our training programmes, because we recognise how important delivery is in putting across any message. We believe that if you can think on your feet you will think better sitting down; if you can engage a group of people, you will be more convincing one to one and confident communication skills will make you appear more relaxed and competent in all situations.
