i was there in the audience. as soon as Aaron finished i said to myself “ i don’t care who comes next , this guy won already “ brilliant Aaron . so proud of you
@Ken Able So the competition MUST be at a podium where they are completely motionless. According to who? The art of communicating with a large group of human beings would include all those things. I think it's much more likely that you just aren't good at some or all of those things, and it upsets you.
@Ken Able And I'm probably not the only one who thinks you're twisting semantics because you're incapable of actually dynamically speaking to a large audience
Chrismatic traits 1) saying relatable things 0:40 2) involving the crowd 0:52 3) Be funny 4) change your tonality 5) talk with your hands 6) have your hands and voice cinronized together 7) slow down in the important moments 8) use the stage 9) be energised with intent
At first I was like anybody could give a talk like that, what makes him so special? But as soon as the story ended and he explained the reason behind telling that story, i almost cried!
I loved this speech. Gripping story, gradually built towards the climax, and then an earnest, timely message. All delivered in his own natural style. Hit every note correctly! Well deserved 👏🏼
Aaron is so much more than a mechanically sound speaker with contagious stage presence and honed delivery skills; more than a talker - he's a teacher; more than keynoter - he's an ambassador of acceptance and love; who transformed the common topic of 'cultural diversity' into 'cultural Commonality.' So cool that he didn't let himself get in the way of his life changing message that epitomizes the unwritten 'mission' of Toastmasters International: 'Seek To Bless, Not Impress.' Whoa! Congrats!!
I watched this speech 5 times , taking notes. From vocal tonality to story telling and body language. This speech is so rich of passion and techniques. I will incorporate them in my speeches as your fellow Toastmaster Aaron. Thank you for your hard work and persistence. I first saw you in 2016 and you inspired me then and now you rocked my public speaking world 🙏🙏🙏😃😃👍
Now, I don't feel so bad placing 1st Runner-up to Aaron in the 2019 Regional Quarter-final this year. Congratulations, Aaron from Dutch Martin, D27 Champ! 🙏👍👏👏👏
I love this presentation. He stayed focused. He took the mission very seriously. He held the shoes to his heart. In the end, he brought three cultures together. Great Job Aaron Beverly!
CONGRATULATIONS Aaron. Being an Indian-American, I can fully relate with the story. Your presentation was very universal that anybody from any culture could understand it very well. You are Super. 💐❤️🇺🇸🇮🇳
Congratulations Aaron! I am particularly proud of your perseverance in aiming for the championship. Your semi-final and final speeches demonstrate your storytelling mastery. Thank you for the motivation to stay the course. Best wishes on your next steps.
Exceptional and just the type of message we need right now. So often the winning speeches are about overcoming some major obstacle or having something exceptionally bad happening to you. It is refreshing to hear a speech with a great message but with a playful and fun premise. Great job.
amazing speech Aaron. Looking at your attire makes me respect you more for respecting our tradition and presenting it at an international stage. Much power and love to you from India.
This is undoubtedly one of the finest speeches I have ever listened to. The articulation, modulation and the gestures were on point and how the guy tells the story is so artistic.
I was interested in Toastamasters but I never thought of looking it up online right until this moment. I got curious and so I searched it up for the first time here on TH-cam and clicked this video. After watching this I said: I know God lead me here to this video on this day, at this time and in this very moment. Knowing what’s going on in our world right now and how people are protesting, supporting and fighting for the rights and the lives of our black brothers and sisters. This story gave me chills because I’m unexpectedly watching this in these times and circumstances that were going through. Makes this video very special to me. We should understand and learn more from the stories and experiences from the black communities ❤️
He's coming to Bangalore to attend Coronation 2020 of District 92. I am counting days, and desperately awaiting his arrival. You're a great speaker and motivator.
To be frank, this speech is very inspiring and encouraging. it doesn't begin or proceed with boring statement or any argument to make a point; instead, it starts with funny story, dynamic and dramatic behavior to make it vivider, and strikes the audiences' heart when it's to the end with a sensible and reasonable argument. Nice to enjoy the champion show!
Aaron for your first Area contest, I knew you had greatness in you! This speech personifies your talent and I'm so proud of you! I'm so happy you didn't give up but kept moving forward. A passionate, consummate speaker!
Mind blowing Aaron. That was wonderful speech with all the right emotions. Yes, we Indians do accept everyone as part of our family. Nice message and mission given to the people as well.
in truth i only watch this because this is an assignment that my prof. give to me (and of course my classmate too) and at first i thought it will be boring but i actually like it and it is funny too. He is good in talking in a public, calm, confident, and straight forward without being nervous. Also he is good in making the audience excited and not boring at all. 10/10
That was beautiful!! So well delivered, the story pulls us in and makes us laugh and want to fight with him for those shoes and then brings us all together, no matter our differences on the outside we are all exactly the same on the inside. Thank you Aaron Beverly for reminding us of that - I take my mission very seriously and will carry the torch (shoes) forward as one of your champions!
I came here because this was once our topic in one of my subject and I need to re-watch it since I'm a bit lost during class so I can't understand anything. But now that I fully understand his speech, thank you for such a wonderful message.
Outstanding speech! I joined Toastmasters this year and it’s been a really rewarding journey. Many people don’t understand how challenging it is to tell a good story on stage with a message. I love your story and message, thank you for using the stage to express this much needed insight! Congratulations on the championship! You are inspiring!
A very common story from Indian wedding culture but told in a great manner. Congratulations Champion. I’m from India but I live in Brazil. I miss India after listening to this story with his Indian attire!!!
I stumbled upon this as i prepare for my ice breaker speech in a few weeks time, I feel motivated to work harder on this and become like Aaron or better by God's grace. This is my mission. lolz.
This will mark my first contest season as a rookie and I am trying to watch as many videos of past championships as possible and take as many notes as possible.
Wow! In 1976 I had to join International Toastmasters at my job, and it was awesome. Did not know it still existed. Love the content and would definitely love you to stop by
@Minh Quân I responded 2 years ago and to respond to your reply I need to again see the full video. However, I did appreciate the skill sets of the presenter. Content will always vary from expert to expert.
I thought the story was great, just enough humor to keep you entertained the gestures & eye contact along with the various pitch made it remarkable. Former T.M. Cleveland, Ohio
Congrats Aaron! Your story telling and public speaking ability gave me chills! So vivid, colorful, and full of life..I felt every aspect of that story. Thank you!
@@MinhQuan-jj2dx- you ask this over and over, in the comments. Did you try writing out a transcript of this or any other winning speech? Of course it needs to be a piece that reads well. There has to be a good structure to the parts, and a “through-line” or idea that carries all the way through. Add to a “good script” with strong nonverbal communication- like expressive gestures, or exciting body language, or even the use of physical props, as well as vocal dynamics like creating beats through inflection, changes in pitch, speed, and timing, use of pauses. All speeches, stories, performances OR scripts, need to start with writing which is worth reading.
Very very very skilled. Loved the hand motions you used and the way you delivered your message. ✨you deserved to take away 1st place. I'd love to learn more for you.

Same
Man I cannot tell but I am so proud that you spoke about Indian tradition at such a big stage
Proud of you man #lovefromindia
Agreed! Loved that this story has such a great purpose of bringing cultures together.
Is the shoe story actually true?
@@peteWxM1970 yes
Charismatic habits
1. Expansive hand gestures
2. Using vocal dynamics
3. Inhabiting characters/actions of the story
4. Eye contact
5. Using the stage
This is what we used to call in highschool as Nonverbal cues.
Thats basically Hasan Minhaj

the last 2 minute gave that sudden impact of emotions...his humor turned out and ended up with a great message "acceptance despite of differences"
This Indian Ritual acts as an ice breaker. What a great presentation Aaron and what a great call to action.
Many thanks 🙏

Aaron am so proud of you - Welldone!! Every culture has no room for discrimination but it is politicians that creates these divisions globally
Olayinka Aina I believe it’s much more than just politicians but the lesson should be applied by us all
You are right sir
True, unfortunately currently in India the extreme right is with closed minds separatist thoughts is propagating hatred

I love this presentation. He stayed focused. He took the mission very seriously. He held the shoes to his heart. In the end, he brought three cultures together. Great Job Aaron Beverly!
This guy is brilliant!! Hatsoff to both the families who invited him 🙏! I guess this icebreaker just melted our hearts guys !!
CONGRATULATIONS Aaron. Being an Indian-American, I can fully relate with the story. Your presentation was very universal that anybody from any culture could understand it very well. You are Super. 💐❤️🇺🇸🇮🇳
Finally a speech wins without gimicks or unneccessary over-the-top acting!
Tbh I see him acting.
It was over the top for me.
Tho it has black jokes..
Acting is part of the speech. Over-the-top acting is subjective anyway
Congratulations Aaron! I am particularly proud of your perseverance in aiming for the championship. Your semi-final and final speeches demonstrate your storytelling mastery. Thank you for the motivation to stay the course. Best wishes on your next steps.
Indian traditional things are nothing but it's the way of people coming together live together.. I'm proud to be a Indian..love you Aaron...
Indian tradition is above your understanding

Wow, that was brilliant; it held my attention throughout. Sharp opening, laugh-out-loud moments and a meaningful ending; well done Aaron.
You made District 18 proud Aaron - powerful speech. You nailed the first 6 seconds and the audience stayed with you the entire way
An unbelievable speech! Thanks, Aaron for representing JPMC and District 18 with such an amazing presentation!

I honestly thought his speech wasn’t funny enough but it’s the message that really got me. Crafty and Inspiring!

You have a great eye Aaron Beverly.......only a great person can recognize such great culture.
That's one crazy story but I like how it all came together in the end.
