World Championship of Public Speaking: Part 1 Video Lecture | Understanding the art of Public Speaking: Become a better speaker - Self Help Learning

this is one of the most important things
of my life I dreamed big
and that's what it took for me to get to
where I am right now I'm in this to win
it and I'm gonna go all the way this is
my moment man if I'm gonna do it I want
to do it now and a 2012 water champion
of public speaking fear of speaking is a
common thing that everyone goes through
and so I decided that Toastmasters give
it a shot
and teach myself to speak in public my
club they said why don't you go in
competitions and I didn't even know
there were such a thing as competitions
for public speaking but then the bug
sort of bent and I really liked the
sport of competing it's 30,000 people
all over the world we all have a message
for all the speech it goes from a club
in the area then the division then the
district and the semifinals and now it's
the top nine speakers best speakers in
the world
thank you all for being here we're all
very very excited for the World
Championship tomorrow when I was a kid I
wanted to be on stage in some capacity
and so speaking became a passion of mine
and I yearn now to be able to speak to
the world I am NOT a good reader I have
dyslexia but I have a storyteller and
Toastmasters allowed me to tell my
stories by speaking them to people
because I could not really write I enjoy
speaking so much I love motivating
people and I want to remind people my
age that we can do anything we're going
to go ahead and draw for speaking order
right now
I've no idea what it is okay this one
the focus and the preparation for this
always blows me away they're they're
fiercely competitive it is one of the
grandest stages you'll ever be on an
audience of 2,500 projectors everywhere
five to seven minutes here faces an
absolute prime time so for me I don't
take this opportunity lightly the speech
for the finals has to be totally
different than the semi-finals I haven't
actually finished writing my speech I
only have a basic framework because I
was focusing on the first speech so
there's a lot of work to do now over the
next 24 hours most of them will lock
themselves in their room and really just
walk through their speech again and
again and again
my biggest fear for the competition is
that I don't prepare enough I don't have
a fear of the moment I get on stage I
aim to prepare this story is about
passion obsession and blood I'm on first
tomorrow so I've got to come out hard
you got it on the phone the first
speaker I would prefer to be somewhere
else yeah but I'm not and again yeah
it's like at the drum so I'll give it my
best before I even do a speech I have to
really have a reason for giving that
speech I don't just randomly throw
speeches together anybody can do a
speech but I think the passion that you
have behind it in connecting with your
audience makes a great speech Trust is a
must
Ryan Avery
you have an obligation as a speaker to
go up there and not just send something
that you care about but something that
can really change the lives of people I
love this next speech it's called trust
as a must it means so much to me
it's how I started off my relationship
with my wife Chelsea I promise I think
that's much better but I do so much
stronger so when you read it it was
literally six minutes flat
when we just read it through yeah that
was six minutes okay I keep this baby
with me all the time if I would have
brought this with me last year I would
have known that I was going over time
see I had to abort my ending last year
but I think I got to speak down enough
where I can finish it in like six 5648 I
don't want to even get close to going
over time we've worked our butts off to
get here since January yeah and have fun
with it we've worked really hard we're
well prepared you're a rock star you're
a great speaker with a good message so
have fun with it but the speech contest
begins
my best is winning it's not coming in
second it is blowing this thing out of
the window
