We had Toastmasters YLP graduation last Friday. There was a speech contest and I managed to get first place. The other speakers were fabulous and it was a learning experience. We also had table topics contest after that - which I missed most of since I was the Sergeant-at-arms keeping contestants at bay outside the room.
My speech was entitled "Embrace your fear; Soar to Success" and it was 4-5 minutes long.
Did I mention my YLP experience helped me breeze through most of my Boy Scouts Communication merit badge requirements. And of course it gave me a lot more confidence with my school book report presentations.
Can't wait for the next session!! :)
Every speaker at the contest was out of this world. Each person used wide, fearless gestures; vocal variety and projected lot of passion. The audience was completely blown away. I feel especially sorry for the judges who must have agonized trying to judge your speeches. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteAditya, congratulations for the first place at Youth Leadership Contest, it was great performance and something lead by example; you embraced the fear and soared to success. As somebody said, if you start early, you will never be late. Good communicator and listener will get almost every thing they want, keep the good work.
