Speech Title: “Pay Attention!”. This speech took 1st place at the District 59 Humorous Speech Contest in Bamberg, Germany on 15 November 2008. The contest took place in front of approximately 250 people, and featured the top speakers from Toastmasters clubs in 18 countries in Continental Europe. I had a lot of fun doing this speech, especially because it gave me a great opportunity to poke some good-natured fun at Toastmasters, which is a terrific organization.

We didn’t get the first minute of John’s pitch. Sorry! He is pitching “Robotic Vending Machines.” Harvard Business School’s first annual BS Contest. Contestants give a 7-minute pitch to a Powerpoint presentation that they have *never seen before*. Sponsored by the HBS Public Speaking Club!

Speech Title: “A Way Out”. This speech took 1st place at the District 59 Humorous Speech Contest in Hamburg, Germany on 21 November 2009. The contest took place in front of approximately 300 people, and featured the top speakers from Toastmasters clubs in 18 countries in Continental Europe. This is probably some of the best fun that I have ever had on stage. The audience was terrific and I felt right at home. Big thanks to my daughter Kristen for pushing me to come up with an idea for the contest. Thanks also to Matt Viel, my Toastmasters buddy in the Netherlands, for taking the video. The full text of the speech with an analysis is here for those interested: wp.me For more ideas on public speaking, please visit my blog: mannerofspeaking.org
