I was bullied for looking like Pat - Remember that film wherein everyone was trying to figure out the gender of the main character? Ouch. So I spent my life trying to be attractive and liked. This story won 2nd at state championship of public speaking yesterday about how Babá’s mom taught you and me to focus on the sweet in life.
Thank you to Linda-Marie Miller for coaching me - soo sooo valuable.
Thank you Catrine for the tips for finishing touches for conversational feel, thanks Rich Hopkins for joke timing and including audience more.
Thanks Jeff Stein - 4 years in a row -thanks for giving it structure and helping me find my message.
My dear clown coach Caroline Dreaming for telling me the truth-sentence by sentence - when it didn't make sense.
My Babá for me telling me he didn't relate to my message. how many coaches does it take to build a winner? you cannot get to where you want to go alone. Each human has a specialty, that's what good teams are made of. I have the talent and story and stage presence and 2nd World Champion of Public Speaking Linda helped clear that doubt away.
Thanks for believing I could do it.
Best female speech in Barcelona 2024
