Aaron Beverly, 2nd place winner of 2016 World Championship of Public Speaking

Full length video of 2nd place winner of the 2016 World Championship of Public Speaking®, Aaron Beverly, District 18.
Titled “Leave a lasting memory using as few words as possible and strive with every fiver of your being to avoid being the type of person who rambles on and on with no end in sign more likely than not causing most listeners to sit and think to themselves oh my goodness can somebody please make this stop”.

[@MeksenParker-s8t]

that speech was only nine minutes and it touched my heart

[@muhammadomer4674]

Na 7 min

[@Animealltimefun]

Ohhhh this makes so much sense why in 2019 Aaron Beverly said that the Toastmaster was relieved that the title was only 3 words. This is so clever ! Really full circle

[@TheDigiWorld]

Yeah!

[@jenb.4188]

You are the first person I've heard who said that it's okay to be a quite person🥺... Thank you so much for this

[@exposed1949]

Ok ! But it's 'quiet' not 'quite'.

[@vikasgowda.n5171]

[@vikasgowda.n5171]

I totally understand you

You're welcome Jen! It's definitely no shame in being quiet at all. Glad that you liked the speech.

[@finac2695]

He was 2nd place. His speech got me to want to hear more. Loved it.

Speech extraordinaire! Aaron I found this one better than the other speech that won you ISC 2019.

[@leowang8961]

they won't remember what you said but they will remember that you said something and that is what makes this speech something that I want to come back to again and again

At one time, so did I. It's all about taking those first steps. Good luck with your competition!

[@kiminem4087]

We have saying in our culture: "Words shouldn't be counted but measured."

[@ryujin8842]

I have a stuttering problem and so because of this I’m usually quiet in school. I also fear public speaking and I get anxiety when speaking in front of a large group. But honestly I wish I could speak with no stutter but with confidence and commanding leadership!

[@baikonggermaine2183]

Me too...but we gon get through it okah

[@amritaparida3992]

Wish Aron had specifically emphasized that *the way one speak* doesn't matter as much as *how much one speak.* The one with stuttering (it's not a problem just a unique condition) are hell ya cute and unique with the speaking skill...if you believe you want to and can then go ahead without an inch of doubt. You completely deserved to be heard. I'm an Indian and I remember there's a Nescafe ad on a stuttering person which would run as commercial for days. The ad showcased how the non-stutterers would be impatient and often laugh at him which would leave disappointed and heart-broken. Rather than taking it up as 'Why people laugh at Me', he realized his special gift and it took this way- 'I can make People laugh without even trying!'. He embraced it and ended up being a stand up comedian. All this was showcased in a few seconds ad and I remember this to this day because that was so beautiful.

[@noormohammedsadiq101]

See dr. Zakir Naik’s video on how he overcame stuttering, or see Muhammed Qahtani for the same.

[@janinekeating1693]

Practice in a safe supportive environment will assist you to become comfortable and feel able to speak from a relaxed position. Quite sure you have great words of wisdom to share. I wish you well with developing the confidence and capability to do so. I assure you attendance and participation in Toastmasters meetings can support you in that regard and more. Wishing you much enjoyment and ample interesting times ahead.

I had to check if I was still watching a Toastmasters speech competition or if I had clicked one video too far that I ventured into a stand-up comedy provided by the algorithm.

[@marvinrlazaro1069]

Excellent speech!

[@brianseweya]

Haha it's crazy i am watching this a day after a friend of mine and i were taklking about a guy who was presenting a workshop where he was talking a lot. We both felt like no one was interested in the information that he was sharing and no one was even gonna remember his many words. It's really not about the number of words that you speak but how impactful your words are

[@siphiworichardmaphalala8964]

Just because you said more it doesn't mean people will remember what you said.

This guy was beaten by that underwear guy!? More unprofessional judging by Toastmasters international. Gimmicks always seem to beat substance in these contests. You are an amazing speaker and you should have won, hands down.

It's okay, he got his this year.

Your wish is fulfilled after 3 years

What a great message.

[@rhombusgil]

Not to discredit the champion for 2016, Darren. But this resonated with me more.

[@andrapopovici123]

He made a good point that maybe it's a good idea to choose a word limit for the titles :))

[@j10001]

A word limit would seem unnecessary though. This was a rare circumstance that fit the topic, of course.

[@publicspeakingmentor]

haha to be honest, Andra I fully expected there to be a rule change the following year, but it never came. I guess Toastmasters assumes that no one would dare try this again. 😂
