World Championship of Public Speaking ( Toastmasters ) - Johan's Journey

It was a journey that will i remember for the rest of my life, the World Championship of Public Speaking held at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas 2015. This event was organized by Toastmasters International.

It was an International Speech Contest. Nerve wrecking but it was a worthwhile trip. Each contestant will have to present a five(5) to seven(7) minute speech.

It started at the club level, followed by area, division and district. I was in District 51, which was Peninsular Malaysia. The district contest was held at Langkawi, Malaysia.

After that win, it was 3 months of preparation to the World Championship of Public Speaking. Las Vegas, USA. Caesars Palace ! A full 3 months of speech writing, speech practice, getting feedback and improving each and every day. The journey was a great learning experience.
