INSPIRING SPEAKERS

 

One of the most common fears is speaking in front of an audience. Even during a class presentation, we either say nothing or speak a small amount of words. We have a mouth and we can talk, but we were born into a judgmental society. When in front of an audience (your teacher, your classmates and your friends) you become nervous and doubt yourself. You forget your lines and you are worried of becoming embarrassed. However, there are some people who have gotten in front of a stage and spoken confidently and made the audience feel connected. So, the next time YOU have a presentation or you want to make a point in class….how do you do it? Here are some public speakers that have inspired every generation to speak without being afraid.

·        Dananjaya Hettiarachchi

The first Sri Lankan public speaker who won World Champion of Public Speaking (WCPS) in 2014

 

·        Darren Tay

The 27-year-old Singaporean lawyer became the Toastmasters International world champion of public speaking in 2016

 

·        Ramona J. Smith

A professional speaker, author, and poet from Cleveland, Ohio. Ramona is also known as the Ladybug Speaker. She recently resided in Los Angeles, California, and delivered dozens of motivational speeches and poems.

 

·        Aaron Beverly

Although he won the title of WCPS in 2019, in 2016 he made the audience laugh with his speech title. “Leave a lasting memory using as few words as possible and strive with every fiber of your being to avoid being the type of person who rambles on and on but no end in sight more likely than not causing more listeners to sit and think to themselves oh my goodness can somebody please make this stop?”

 

·        Verity Price

The woman who won the 2021 in WCPS had given a speech under the topic a “a great read”

 

If you want a little confidence to share your presentation efficiently and not turn it into a boring lecture on how responsible you should be, you can search the speeches that these people have said and take their advice into your heart. You can break down that the wall of doubt and build up the courage and confidence back. Who knows? Maybe in a few years….I’ll be seeing you on stage.
