Our very own Mai Dao-Horton finished 2nd place last night in the Area 3 humorous speech contest. Please help me in congratulating her!! She found out she was competing at 12:30 on Wednesday and made a quick and brave decision to represent the RWR’s at the contest. In less than 8 months Mai is already on her 9th speech and competing and winning toastmaster competitions. Mai: Great job!!

Craig Harper presents So, You Want to Be a Public Speaker? posted at Renovate your life with Craig, saying, “Public speaking is a curiosity; most people either love it… or are absolutely terrified of it.
Some people are physically ill just saying their name in front of a group… while others will wrestle you to the ground to rip a microphone from your hand.
Over the years I have done somewhere over three thousand presentations nationally and internationally (including corporate stuff, educational stuff, sporting teams, schools and fitness industry stuff).”
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of public speaking using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
