Keynote Speech: The Hidden Secrets of the Introverted Speaker: And How Extroverts Can Use Them Too
Aaron W. Beverly
2019 World Champion of Public Speaking
Storyteller | Keynote Speaker | Trainer | World Traveler
In August 2019, Aaron Beverly emerged as the winner of the Toastmasters International Speech Contest, an annual public speaking competition that includes over 30,000 competitors worldwide. Performing the speech entitled “An Unbelievable Story,” Aaron provided a humorous take on the heavy subject of race and the importance of “acceptance despite difference.” That speech won him the prestigious title of World Champion of Public Speaking.
Aaron considers himself to be “one of the most introverted people you can meet.” Public speaking and storytelling were extroverted activities he never thought he’d pursue. However, with hard work, dedication and a team of invaluable supporters, Aaron has become proficient in both skills and has learned to balance his innate introversion with flashes of extroversion.
Storytelling and public speaking have led Aaron to engage audiences at Fortune 100 companies, notable Universities and various countries around the world.
Aaron is living proof, that the art communication can have a profoundly positive effect on the advancement of your professional career and the fulfilment of your life.
