Final Polish: Coaching Our Top 20 for the EWC Qualifiers

Ahead of the Enactus World Cup Qualifier, our Top 20 teams participated in a final coaching clinic designed to refine their storytelling, strengthen their impact narratives, and elevate their pitching skills. This session was designed to deliver value for both teams and coaches: teams gained access to expert guidance to enhance their presentations, while coaches had the opportunity to apply their professional expertise in a meaningful way, directly helping students scale the impact of their projects.

The coaching clinic brought together a over 50 industry professionals and students for focused, one-on-one sessions covering everything from pitch delivery and impact measurement to storytelling techniques that resonate with judges. For many coaches, the experience was as rewarding as it was for the students.

From one of our coaches:

"It was really inspiring to guide a group of young leaders into their next steps of their project presentations. Learning about their project at the Regional Qualifiers and now getting the chance to coach them and provide additional feedback on pitching and delivery was rewarding. I'll be looking out for results to see how far they go."

Another coach reflected on the personal fulfilment the programme provides:

"Anything in my diary to do with Enactus always brightens my day. The surge of energy from working with young people who are so passionate to make sustainable change makes an inspiring detour from daily corporate life. Sharing my skills through coaching is a two-way learning process, I always come away feeling renewed and reinvested."

For students, the clinic provided an invaluable opportunity to receive tailored feedback from professionals who understand what it takes to deliver a compelling pitch.

"The coaches were super helpful and friendly. They gave us personalised feedback”

“The coaches stayed engaged the entire time and provided feedback tailored to our team. Very helpful indeed."

Our last coaching clinic before the NextGen Takeover reflects the core of what makes Enactus work: a community of professionals and students learning from each other, driving impact together, and building the skills needed to create lasting change
