Public Speaking Example: Learn the speaking skills that helped crown the Toastmasters 2021 World Champion of Public Speaking, Verity Price.

Admittedly, I'm late with this review vs. everyone else who gave their reviews earlier in the summer, but what I lack in speed, I hope to make up for with explanation and detail.

First thing that I will say about Verity's speech is that it was constructed and presented masterfully. All throughout listening to and reading her speech, I couldn't help but say, "Ooh that was smart." over and over again. The speech nerd within me was very please lol. There were so many verbal and physical presentation choices that were made to make the speech pop and stick. It was clear to me very early that Verity was no stranger to the stage.

Only a few tweaks in my eyes would have made the story flow a bit tighter, but overall I think it was wonderfully done. Had she had even more time with the speech (the days before the finals can be tight), I know it would have been even better.

For this review, I avoided reviewing all of the other reviews that were done earlier this year, so I this review is free from any outside biases or influences other than my own personal views and opinions.

How did I do? Is there anything that I missed? What did you think about the speech?

Hope you enjoy.
