This year’s Toastmasters World Champion of Public Speaking delivers such a great speech under enormous pressure that is seemed worthwhile to link to it.  Take the 8 minutes and watch and learn from an excellent speaker.  The topic is tried and true, but Cyril Junior Dim makes it his own by sharing a piece of his story.  His delivery is commanding and confident.  Maybe a touch of nerves causes him to speak and move a little more slowly than a conversational pace might, but who wouldn’t experience nerves under these circumstances?  And most of us would speed up and raise our vocal pitch in response to the pressure.  Mr. Dim does neither.  He uses the stage very confidently, moving on the segments of the talk in a way that helps the audience follow his story.  Overall, a great job.  I love his stage presence.  Enjoy!
