Our Guest MC for the Evening: Brett Rutledge
Those who attended last years dinner will agree that Brett Rutledge is one of the most skilled and versatile communicators in the southern hemisphere and will understand why he is heavily in demand as a dynamic business speaker, facilitator and coach. In 1998 Brett became the youngest World Champion of Public Speaking at only 28 years of age. He has degrees and awards in marketing, commercial law, management and labour relations. As an entrepreneur he had established a successful commercial enterprise at the age of 18 and within two years was employing more than 10 people. As a businessman he has a wealth of experience in senior consultancy roles specialising in Human Resources, Strategic Marketing and Organisational Culture that culminated in a General Management role at age 26. Brett is an utterly unique talent whose rare ability as a mimic, world beating performance, practical business knowledge and powerful delivery are guaranteed to both entertain and inform.
