Claire Boscq, awarded the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation
When recognition meets purpose: a milestone moment from #GSS2026
Some moments make you pause… and smile.
At the Global Speakers Federation Summit 2026 in Cairns, I was honoured to receive two international awards from the Virtual Speakers Association International:
✨ Dedicated Service Award
✨ Breakthrough Speaker Award
And on 14 March 2026, during International Speaker Day, I was awarded the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation awarded by The Virtual Speaker Association International… the gold standard in the speaking profession.
Fewer than 10 to 12 percent of professional speakers worldwide hold this accreditation.
A proud moment… and a powerful one.
The words from VSAI President Dr Wendy Lee, touched me beyond imaginations:
‘This one is especially meaningful to me, because I have personally had the joy of watching this journey unfold.
She is full of fire and optimism.
Full of drive.
Full of heart.
And she is someone you can rely on — not just 100%, but 300%.
No matter how many miles may separate you, she is still someone you can truly call a friend.
And now, she is not just growing — she is soaring.
A vibrant social media presence.
An active TikToker.
A globe-trotter.
And a powerful voice, carrying her message across borders and across platforms.
No matter what people say, she will still “whoop whoop” her way. In fact, she just launched her book yesterday!
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Breakthrough Speaker Award is…
Claire Boscq CSP.’
The journey behind the milestone
This recognition is not about one moment on stage.
It represents years of dedication to the craft of speaking, delivering impact for organisations, and helping businesses elevate their Customer eXperience from the inside out.
From Jersey to global stages, my mission has remained the same:
✨ Empower people
✨ Energise culture
✨ Elevate experience
Because when people thrive… businesses shine.
What CSP really means
The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation recognises:
• Proven expertise and consistent delivery
• Strong client results and testimonials
• Professional excellence at a global level
It is a mark of trust.
A mark of credibility.
A mark of sustained impact.
And yes… I am incredibly proud to now be one of only two speakers in Jersey to hold this designation.
What this means for event organisers and clients
Let’s make it real for you.
Booking a CSP speaker means:
• You are choosing proven excellence
• You are investing in audience impact
• You are creating an experience people will remember
Because a keynote is never just a talk.
It is a moment that shifts energy, mindset, and possibility.
Celebrating this moment together
No journey like this is ever walked alone.
I am absolutely delighted to celebrate alongside my fellow speakers and friends Eytan Segev, Sha Nacino, Dr. Yaniv Zaid, and Dixie Maria Carlton, who also received this incredible recognition at #GSS2026.
Each of them brings their own unique voice, energy, and brilliance to the stage, and it is such a joy to stand alongside such inspiring professionals.
Because at the heart of it all… we rise together, we learn from one another, and we continue to elevate the speaking profession across the world.
Beyond the awards… the real mission
As a CX Energizer, I don’t just deliver keynotes.
I activate energy in the room.
I reconnect people to purpose.
I help organisations create experiences that feel aligned, human, and powerful.
This is the heart of my work.
This is the essence of the Heart-Led Business Growth Blueprint™ and of course her new book, When Work Works.
A new level… and a new chapter
Standing in Cairns, surrounded by over 400 professional speakers from around the world, I felt one thing above all:
Gratitude.
And also… excitement.
Because this is not the destination.
It is a new level.
A new chapter.
A new opportunity to elevate even more experiences globally.
If you are building something meaningful, leading a team, or shaping experiences…
Keep going.
You are closer than you think.
Shine on ✨
