*After immense popular demand, we have been able to rearrange Debate and Public speaking coaching sessions with our professional coach Jordan Anderson*


Let’s face it. Most of us would like to be as kickass in a meeting room as such fictional bosses as Miranda Priestly or Don Draper.

Many believe the confidence, quick-thinking, and persuasion needed to fit the bill are traits you either have or you don't. But, embracing the LBS’s growth mindset, you know that these are not innate abilities, but skills to be developed like any other!

We've found that debate is the perfect training ground for building the skills you'll need to be successful in a variety of business settings (e.g. meetings, board rooms, presentations, pitches), so we've put together a professionally-taught workshop series to give you the best crash course in business-relevant debating skills.

This 5-session workshop will be taught by Jordan Anderson, SOAS & KCL graduate, winner of 21 UK and international debating competitions, and semi-finalist of the World University Debating Championship. Over the past decade he has trained hundreds of corporations and business school students in the art of “owning a boardroom” through debate training. When not teaching, Jordan also works as a political risk analyst, focusing on sub-Saharan Africa.

We are pleased to offer this professional 5-session workshop series to you, our members, at a deeply subsidized price of only £30.

Each session will be 2 hours and offer instruction, hands-on practice, and personalized feedback. Sessions will be run from 7-9pm, sorry for miscommunication in email
