Such an Important Topic!

Such an important education policy topic this.

Please, please restore life skills in public speaking and “speaking under pressure” as priorities in the curriculum.

They’ve been neglected for way too long.

And give these skills real bite, assessment-wise!

You’ll be doing the next generation a favour…

My views are based on experience working with thousands of Year 9s through Year 13 over the years - in 100+ schools across the UK.

Largely thanks to the tremendous work of Speakers Trust, The English-Speaking Union and the Jack Petchey Foundation.

 In 2019 I had the pleasure of working with Simon while pitching at the final of The Venture, the most important competition for social entrepreneurs. Simon not only helped me to deliver a perfect pitch to an audience of 2,500 people, he also helped me to improve my body language and storytelling abilities.

I am very certain that I won that contest thanks to Simon's help."
