Interesting book... timed for contest season !

They timed the release of this book perfectly... right near the beginning of the International Speech Contest season !

Who will be the next World Champion?

How about You !?!

International Speech Contest Season starts soon!

Toastmasters International Speech Contest typically focuses on speeches that are especially inspirational or motivational... so to kick off the "Intl. Speech Contest Season", I've found a short (2 min.) video with clips from a bunch of movies that distills them down to the "best of the best" ...



Happy Speech Contest Season !
