What Is A World Champion Of Public Speaking?

Each year, more than 25,000 people in 70 countries begin a quest to be the best in an international speech competition sponsored by Toastmasters International, the world’s premier organization to help people develop their speaking, listening, and leadership skills.
And each year, only nine people survive a six-month series of speech competitions to earn the right to compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking. In this annual event, nine of the best speakers in the world compete in front of a crowd of more than 2,000 other speakers. The competition is intense.
In the end, one person triumphs, standing alone as the World Champion of Public Speaking. On August 24, 2002 in San Antonio, Texas, Dwayne G. Smith became the 2002 World Champion of Public Speaking.

More about me

Dwayne G. Smith has traveled and lived in numerous places, from Atlanta to Afghanistan yet,
no matter the environment, three things remained constant: his faith in God, faith in self and his compulsion to help others.

Though Smith led a comfortable life as an information technology professional, he couldn’t escape the feeling that his real talent was inspiring others to achieve success. Once he decided to embark on a career as a professional speaker, Smith applied a philosophy that has worked for him in the past: set a goal, do the work and stay the course.

Instead of relying on his experience as a computer network analyst, Smith chose to go to speakers’ school and became an active member of Toastmasters. Smith soon became a star pupil, entering and winning numerous Toastmaster contests. In 2002 he reached the top and was crowned the World Champion of Public Speaking.

Bolstered by his success in Toastmasters and determined to make speaking a full-time career, Smith launched the Speakers Coalition in 2003. Since then he has received requests from numerous organizations including Aetna, the American Cancer Society, Delta Airlines Clark Atlanta University and many others.

Eager to impact as many people as possible, Smith has also produced videos, Bringing Out The Winner In You and Now That’s A Story. He is also the author of a book of poetry called, The Lifting of the Veil: Words of a Male Romantic.
