What Award-Winning Speakers Do Differently ... and Why It Matters with Elliot Kay - 335
Monday, 27 April, 2026
There are a lot of brilliant speakers out there. But not all of them get recognised booked. Not all of them get recognised. And not all of them get the opportunities they're capable of. So what's the difference? In this episode of The Speaking Club, I'm joined by Elliot Kay, organiser of the Speaker Awards, to take a look behind the scenes of the awards and at what's really going on in the speaking industry right now. Because Elliot doesn't just see one speaker… He sees hundreds. He sees the entries, the trends, the standards, and how they're evolving year on year. That gives him a unique perspective on what actually makes a speaker stand out in the industry - not just on stage, but professionally. This episode isn't just about entering awards. It's about understanding what the awards reveal about the industry… and how you can use that insight to raise your own game. Here's what we're talking about What you'll discover: • The importance of recognizing and elevating standards within the speaking industry • How awards can serve as a stamp of authority and recognition for speakers • The evolving perception of award entries among established and high-caliber speakers • What Elliot is seeing across the speaking industry right now — and how the standard is evolving • The patterns that separate standout speakers from those who blend in • What speakers assume matters… that actually doesn't • How to think about the awards strategically (even if you're not entering) • What successful speakers do after being shortlisted or winning — that others don't • The subtle things that make someone sit up and pay attention when reviewing entries • What to focus on right now if you want to seriously raise your chances of standing out • The lowdown on video do's and don'ts for your entry Enjoy!
