South Africa’s Verity Price is the new World Champion of Public Speaking after winning the top spot at the Toastmasters World Championship for 2021.

 

South Africa (30 August 2021) – Most of us can admit that public speaking seems like a daunting task but for some, it comes naturally. Verity Price recently proved her natural skill by earning the top spot at the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking.

The championship starts within the Toastmasters clubs worldwide. Club members participate in speaking events and advance up the ranks from Area, Division, District and Region. They then work their way towards the Toastmaster semi-finals and on to the World Championship of Public Speaking.

The goal is to wow the judges with a 5 to 7-minute speech and the very best person goes on to win. Winners are catapulted into the public speaking realm where they can go on to build successful speaking careers.

Verity won thanks to her speech “A Great Read”. Verity has become the 5th woman to win this title in the last 80 years of the competition. Friends, family and fans have been showering Verity with praise for winning the championship and raising the South African flag on the international speaking platform.
