Want to be Inspired? Listen to and See World Champion Speech “I See Something “

Daily Quote: ” Speech is power; Speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. ”    Emerson

Reflection: Emerson is correct and to high light his insight I wanted to introduce to you a special person who through preparation and practice shows how powerful and persuasive your message can be. You probably have never heard or seen this gifted speaker and consultant Dananjaya Hettiarachchi who recently won the World Champion of Public Speaking by Toastmasters International. He survived seven rounds of a competition that lasted six months and included 33,000 competitors from around the world.

He and eight other finalists competed at the Toastmasters annual convention last month in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Hettiarachchi took first place for his speech “I See Something,” which clocked in at seven minutes and 20 seconds. You need to watch the winning speech so as to learn how the power of story telling and a memorable message can make your presentations more “sticky” and “audience –center” from beginning to end.
