The Challenge - 2021 Toastmasters semi finals speech
This is the semi finals speech that I can at the Toastmasters International Speech Contest in 2021. I journeyed with this speech from March to August 2021 and delivered at my club, area, division, district, region and finally the semi-finals. So much changed in that time but this is the version I am proudest of. So grateful to my beautiful mum for giving me the inspiration to follow in her footsteps and honour her legacy xxx

Thanks so much! I hope she heard it xxx
Wow! "Leave the world a little better than you found it" ✋ Brilliant speech! 👏👏👏
wow! This may be the first semi-final speech I've heard (besides Mike Carr's "Blue speech) that could have won 1st in the championship. The simplicity AND power of speech are amazing. - "nose rings and tattoos" to describe the people in rehab. - "her Mom driving people in her small car" to demonstrate her Mom helping others. - "showing the memorial book and reading what people wrote" spoke volumes Plus, the dialogue, call back (from intro to conclusion), descriptive words, asking the audience simple direct questions, the takeaway, etc. SO MUCH in 7 minutes. Way to go Verity!
After this speech, I sent someone a message that said, "Unless she chokes on a pretzel, I predict that Verity Price will be the next world champion of public speaking." Excellent speech, and congratulations!

Hello Verity! I was so inspired by your speeches and your impersonation of your dad and your mom that I took my impersonation to the next level! I imitated my nieces behavior when impersonating "Stella" in the following speech: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooyekptvgsu6kZs.html The speech starts at 06:04. So thank you for your contribution! I mentioned you and referenced your 2 videos in the video description! Have a blessed day!
