What is the myth about public speaking. Why is public speaking essential for networking. What happened when Aaron saw his mentor give an impromptu speech for first time. How is Aaron connected to Barack Obama.
What happens when you get to have a 1:1 with a #world champion & learn from him. I had the opportunity to interview Aaraon W. Beverly in my next episode of inspirational interview. Aaron is storyteller, world champion speaker & public speaking trainer. In 2019, Aaron became Toastmaster's world champion of public speaking, a competition in which more than 35,000 toastmasters across the world for the coveted title. He was also the first runner-up in 2016 competition which is now known as speech with one of the longest title in competition history.
In this part 1 of the 3 videos series, Aaron talks about his journey to public speaking. How he was a shy guy who did not like limelight and was pushed by his mother to compete in various platforms. He talks about his first encounter with his mentor Dileep Abayasekara, then ex-president of toastmasters and how his one impromptu of a pen changed his life. He also gives a lot of credit to ex-American president Barack Obama on getting inspiration from him to be a public speaker like him & motivate people.
He also talked about his job as project manager & also why networking & public speaking is important. He talked about the underrated skill of public speaking and why there is so much myth about it. Also he talks what is networking and why its important to provide value to others through networking.

Familiar Stranger
Sometimes in life you come across situations where you cannot decide whether one side is correct or the other side. Recently i also came across such a situation where i could not decide whether somebody is stranger or a familier/known person.
It was a hectic friday evening, almost night, I with some of my friends hasted to get into a tour bus from Bangalore to Tirupati. The bus full packed. I got the seat in the second row.After becoming little comfortable, I looked around. I saw one girl of around 2-3 yrs also inquiring around her surrounding like me. After our eyes met, she started staring me continuously towards me. I also became happy to see some baby looking towards me.Anyways after light became dim & I slept for quite a while.After some hours we were waken up by the guide to go into the queue for taking ticket.This was around 3:30 in the morning & the booking was about to start at 5. So we had pretty much one & a half hour to spend. We chatted, gossiped a lot ranging from national issues to corporate items to leg pulling of one another to remembering golden college days including those classy characters over there.I realized after a little while that this girl along with her family was also sitting next to us & was again seeing now & then towards me. I didn't sense it much again. Anyways after a struggle we got ticket around 5 & then went back to bus & then to get fresh & have breakfast etc.
Now at around 10 o clock we reached at the temple gate.As our slot was for 12 o clock, so we had to wait in queue outside only, There started the interesting part of the day.That small girl, Shivani, was again siting just before us. Now had a quite a long time to meet. Without me making much effort she started coming to me. First I thought it will be JLT, but later I realized it was more than that she started communicating to me in malayalam(sadly, i dont know) & then giving me preference to others. Without any effort she came to my lap & sat nicely. I was full surprising astonished to see what is happening. Then she started playing with all of us & in that also giving me more attention than others. After a while she started complainnig (I dont know whether it should be called complaining or not) about her parents not giving biscuits & all to me. I was speechless. How can a girl of such a small age, can talk to a stranger like me who don't even know her language with so much comfort within 15-20 mins. After a while she felt tired & then she slept in my lap. I was completely lost in this girls attachment.
This incident made me think that is there only the relations that human beings make or some or like natural or from GOD. Is there any scientific explanation for this phenomenon. Is there something natural frequency of human being which does not depend on cast, color, race, nation or language.When this frequency matches you have resonance(in scientific terms) or in general terms you get along with the other person so easily that you think you know that person from years .
Anyways the gates opened at 12:30 & we went to darshan & after that in the back route i was full lost in my dreamworld. My eyes opened only when i saw her leaving the bus with her family. I felt little sad of not being able to spend more time with her.
This was one trip i m not gonna forget so soon.
I have got some of photos of her which i am pasting down here.(she is so sweet na :))
