Facing up to the challenge of speaking in the reverberating space of St Mary le Bow, Cheapside ten speakers competed last night in the final of the second annual Corporate Challenge. London Toastmasters were well represented among the finalists.
The theme for the speeches this year was Recession. The light at the end of the tunnel. As ever it was fascinating to hear the different take that each of the ten speakers had on the subject.
And the winners were:
First Paul Carroll
Second Simon Bucknall
Third last year's winner Rod Sloane
Highly commended:
Mindy Gibbins-Klein
Alan McMahon.
The College of Public Speaking is doing great work putting together this business speaking contest. If you are interested in competing next year email Vince Stevenson so he can keep you informed.
London Athenians, London Cardinals , Excalibur Speakers and Harrovians Speakers can be proud of all their members who took part. Their time at Toastmasters paid off, again!
