BESPOKEN Voice and Speech Coaching received its first award a year after its genesis!
Firstly, I was honoured to present an award to Marjorie Mair for Best Speaker over the last year. She is a wonderful businesswoman and person. I was then honoured to be shortlisted among 3 out of 19 Newcomers at WADBCC. Congratulations to the deserving Patience Kakitie, who won Best Newcomer, an inspiring, straight-talking woman.
However, I was surprised and delighted to be honoured with a Business Award by Grove Business Park, presented by Peter Mols of Outside Ideas, in recognition of my valuable contribution to WADBBC. The award means one year’s complimentary Virtual Office Plus with advertising, mail, phone, and office. I am feeling very, very blessed and humbled by this very generous award.
Thank you to the fabulous team who made Wantage Breakfast (WADBBC) what it is and put in so much work to make our monthly meeting successful.
Today, the 21st of July, is my last day of working at a school where I have fulfilled various contracts in both teaching and associate roles over eight years so that I can dedicate myself full-time to the role of BESPOKEN’s Voice and Speech Coach as well as a new venture as Training Facilitator as an Associate of Explosive Learning Solutions (ELS).
I have learnt so much about the English educational system and enjoyed getting to know more than 1100 adolescents, with a new cohort of 180 every year!
I have no doubt that the skills I’ve learnt are highly transferable to my new training facilitation role. I hope to find time to start a Speakers’ Club at Grove Business Park that will bring energy and interesting speeches to the school. The flowers, gifts, and kind words I received on my departure were equal in my estimation to the honour of the award photographed on the right.
There is no greater reward than making a difference in the lives of others.
