Gail Rubin, The Doyenne of Death®, took first place in the Area 22 contest of District 23, Toastmasters International.
“Let Your Light Shine,” my International Contest speech for our Area 22 Toastmasters International contest this past weekend, was awarded first place! It was so exciting to win!
Now I get to go on to the Division B contest, to be held on March 23. If I win first place there, the competition advances to the District 23 level, at the spring conference in Lubbock, Texas.
You can read a slightly different version of the speech in an earlier “Let Your Light Shine” post on this blog.
The video below is a little distant, but you can see what it looked like. It also gives me good feedback for improvements. Anyone who wants to weigh in with suggestions, I’m all ears!
