We coach a winner for hospice funds

Sometimes we get to meet some wonderful people. A lovely gentleman, in the true meaning of the word, approached us looking for some help to give a public speech for the first time in his life. This was the last stage of a competition and was proving to be a daunting prospect. With the outright winner getting £1000, Matt was determined to make the best possible speech. He had already decided to donate every penny to a local children's hospice. We decided it was nearly Christmas and we would love to help. We donated to Matt a training course place, a little bit of extra support, and on the night, both our principle trainers went along to the competition final to offer our full support. One brilliant speech rendition later, and I am delighted to report Matt won the competition, the hospice got their donation and we left feeling absolutely great! Not everything needs to be money-driven, and Matt had worked hard for this good cause. We were delighted to have helped him achieve not only his personal ambition, a huge amount of confidence and of course this lump sum for the children. It also goes to prove that whether it is for competition, part of a wedding speech or indeed any occasion, a little training makes a huge difference. Congratulations Matt on winning this competition – enjoy your success. The full story is here where you can see a picture of Matt and Margot holding the trophy.
