Robert Noble returned to the south-east from working in Greece for over a decade just two years ago, and what a phenomenal impact he has made on the London Speaking scene.

Robert regularly supports three speakers clubs, utilising his tremendous presence and speaking skills to the full. Robert was a Corporate Challenge 2011 finalist and made a huge impact on the audience and judges alike. In December 2011 he was guest speaker at a fund raising event for the English-Speaking Union where he made a compelling presentation on modern day piracy (a theme which affects his every day life as an 'Average Adjuster'). Robert came to the club as a confident and experienced speaker, and I know that he would tell you that since he has become a regular member at Beckenham Speakers Club, through a number of high profile opportunities made available to him, he has found an extra gear and extra joy in his speaking.

The College of Public Speaking Corporate Challenge 2011 was a major success on October 24th at the English-Speaking Union's Headquarters in Mayfair. Ten finalists spoke to a one hundred strong audience on the theme of 'You make a living from what you get, you make a life from what you give.' A quotation attributed to Winston Churchill. Five independent judges, led by Chris Bates were staggered by the quality and diversity of the interpretations of the theme. Following a long deliberation the results were announced in reverse order: Third - Jason Ashburton (Beckenham Speakers Club Chairman) of the Metropolitan Police, Runner-up - David Jones from the Natural History Museum. The 2011 Corporate Challenge Champion is Andrew Chuks who runs Winner's Edge, his own training company, pictured with Chris Bates.
