I got goosebumps when I heard his final line. People don't remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel. Well done!

i was there in the audience. as soon as Aaron finished i said to myself “ i don’t care who comes next , this guy won already “ brilliant Aaron . so proud of you

Man I cannot tell but I am so proud that you spoke about Indian tradition at such a big stage Proud of you man #lovefromindia

Now, I don't feel so bad placing 1st Runner-up to Aaron in the 2019 Regional Quarter-final this year. Congratulations, Aaron from Dutch Martin, D27 Champ! 🙏👍👏👏👏

2016 - " So let's make the words we do say count. You'll be surprised how long people will remember a few words."

This isn't just a speech from a contest, this is a speech from essence. 🙂❤

Finally a speech wins without gimicks or unneccessary over-the-top acting!

At first I was like anybody could give a talk like that, what makes him so special? But as soon as the story ended and he explained the reason behind telling that story, i almost cried!

I loved this speech. Gripping story, gradually built towards the climax, and then an earnest, timely message. All delivered in his own natural style. Hit every note correctly! Well deserved 👏🏼

"This is your mission, take it very seriously."

Indian traditional things are nothing but it's the way of people coming together live together.. I'm proud to be a Indian..love you Aaron...

the last 2 minute gave that sudden impact of emotions...his humor turned out and ended up with a great message "acceptance despite of differences"

This Indian Ritual acts as an ice breaker. What a great presentation Aaron and what a great call to action.

I watched this speech 5 times , taking notes. From vocal tonality to story telling and body language. This speech is so rich of passion and techniques. I will incorporate them in my speeches as your fellow Toastmaster Aaron. Thank you for your hard work and persistence. I first saw you in 2016 and you inspired me then and now you rocked my public speaking world 🙏🙏🙏😃😃👍

This guy is brilliant!! Hatsoff to both the families who invited him 🙏! I guess this icebreaker just melted our hearts guys !!

This has inspired me to do the storytelling elective speech.

I accept you Mission Aaron! And I will try my best to take it seriously 😀 Many congratulations on this well deserved victory Aaron🏆

Aaron am so proud of you - Welldone!! Every culture has no room for discrimination but it is politicians that creates these divisions globally

That's one crazy story but I like how it all came together in the end.

Aaron is so much more than a mechanically sound speaker with contagious stage presence and honed delivery skills; more than a talker - he's a teacher; more than keynoter - he's an ambassador of acceptance and love; who transformed the common topic of 'cultural diversity' into 'cultural Commonality.' So cool that he didn't let himself get in the way of his life changing message that epitomizes the unwritten 'mission' of Toastmasters International: 'Seek To Bless, Not Impress.' Whoa! Congrats!!

Congrats to new champion of public speaking. Very good timely message given by his speech.

CONGRATULATIONS Aaron. Being an Indian-American, I can fully relate with the story. Your presentation was very universal that anybody from any culture could understand it very well. You are Super. 💐❤️🇺🇸🇮🇳

What a great storyteller. I kept laughing throughout the whole fighting for shoes part.

You just win the heart 💓.. explaining the wedding ceremony.. Love from #IN love you brother 💓

Congratulations Aaron! I am particularly proud of your perseverance in aiming for the championship. Your semi-final and final speeches demonstrate your storytelling mastery. Thank you for the motivation to stay the course. Best wishes on your next steps.

To be frank, this speech is very inspiring and encouraging. it doesn't begin or proceed with boring statement or any argument to make a point; instead, it starts with funny story, dynamic and dramatic behavior to make it vivider, and strikes the audiences' heart when it's to the end with a sensible and reasonable argument. Nice to enjoy the champion show!

You speak from heart. That's soothing.

Wow, that was brilliant; it held my attention throughout. Sharp opening, laugh-out-loud moments and a meaningful ending; well done Aaron.

Hearty congratulations Aaron!! What a powerful message!!🥰

Congrats Aaron! Your story telling and public speaking ability gave me chills! So vivid, colorful, and full of life..I felt every aspect of that story. Thank you!

You made District 18 proud Aaron - powerful speech. You nailed the first 6 seconds and the audience stayed with you the entire way

great speech: humurous, entertaining and passes a very powerful message.

Congratulations Aaron, great message beautifully told, mission always accepted!

Amazing speech, act.. use of words, gesture, stage.. beatiful.

Aaron for your first Area contest, I knew you had greatness in you! This speech personifies your talent and I'm so proud of you! I'm so happy you didn't give up but kept moving forward. A passionate, consummate speaker!

This is undoubtedly one of the finest speeches I have ever listened to. The articulation, modulation and the gestures were on point and how the guy tells the story is so artistic.

The message and the way it is delivered by Aaron are unbelievable.

Terrific I am connected to the story from teh beginning. Love from India

Goodness! I liked it very much. No wonder he is the winner.

Wow, I loved this story!!! Congratulations on the win!

That's beautiful! Amazing. Loved it

amazing speech Aaron. Looking at your attire makes me respect you more for respecting our tradition and presenting it at an international stage. Much power and love to you from India.

Epic speech and epic performance. Great stuff man, hope to see more of you in the future.

Mind blowing Aaron. That was wonderful speech with all the right emotions. Yes, we Indians do accept everyone as part of our family. Nice message and mission given to the people as well.

Couldn't believe you lost Aaron. You were the best in 2016. And i'm glad you won in 2019. I watch this video so often.

I honestly thought his speech wasn’t funny enough but it’s the message that really got me. Crafty and Inspiring!

I love this presentation. He stayed focused. He took the mission very seriously. He held the shoes to his heart. In the end, he brought three cultures together. Great Job Aaron Beverly!

Really wish more people would see this. It's an amazing speech!

Wow! It's not only the speech, but the message at the end was phenomenal.

Wonderful speech, Aaron 👏! Great delivery. I accept the mission 💪

I’d love a man like you in my life👌🏼

Well done! Great vocal variety, excellent pauses, comfortable on stage, the audience was completely engaged.

Well done Aaron.....what a speech it is, I got goosebumps in the end when you said "Take it very seriously!!!"

I came here because this was once our topic in one of my subject and I need to re-watch it since I'm a bit lost during class so I can't understand anything. But now that I fully understand his speech, thank you for such a wonderful message.

Awwww what a beautiful and inspiring speech. Very well done

I laughed, I listened, and I learned. Superb Storyteller!!!

Love it!!! Thank you for sharing your story and this mission =)

A phenomenal speech. Congratulations Aaron.

Beautiful. Simply just beautiful. ❤️

A master storyteller. Very well deserved. Congratulations Aaron.

An unbelievable speech! Thanks, Aaron for representing JPMC and District 18 with such an amazing presentation!

There are world championships for public speaking? Nice.

Great Speech, in simple story with a powerful message. Congratulations!

This is my favorite. I keep coming back

Exceptional and just the type of message we need right now. So often the winning speeches are about overcoming some major obstacle or having something exceptionally bad happening to you. It is refreshing to hear a speech with a great message but with a playful and fun premise. Great job.

That was an amazing speech.

Oh, yeah! He's a CHAMPION! Congratulations World Chapion of Public Speaking Aaron Beverly!!

This is amazing 🔥🔥🔥💫 Congratulations very well deserved. The posture is there, the confidence is there and art of storytelling is there too!

Glad that you acknowledged the hospitality of Indians at Toastmasters competition! And it was a nice well-structured speech with a strong message!!!

Just amazing... very well deserved!!!

Super excited to see and do it

Incredible speech. Well deserved!

This video never gets old! 🙌🏾

That was beautiful!! So well delivered, the story pulls us in and makes us laugh and want to fight with him for those shoes and then brings us all together, no matter our differences on the outside we are all exactly the same on the inside. Thank you Aaron Beverly for reminding us of that - I take my mission very seriously and will carry the torch (shoes) forward as one of your champions!

Bro nailed it! Loved the msg and delivery

Such a great humourous speech with an essential message!

Wonderful speech Mr. Beverly.

He's coming to Bangalore to attend Coronation 2020 of District 92. I am counting days, and desperately awaiting his arrival. You're a great speaker and motivator.

Open your mind to people who are different to you. Acceptance despite difference is not an unbelievable story take it very seriously. Loved it Well done Aaron Beverly
