Vikas Jhingran, WCPS 2007

While Typhoon Sepat was sweeping Taiwan hard this past weekend, the World Champion of Public Speaking (WCPS) 2007 was born--Mr. Vikas Jhingran who competed onstage Saturday, the 18th of August, at the 76th Annual Convention of Toastmasters International in Phoenix, Arizona.

Luckily I received a surprising email from Ryan Levesque this morning, informing me of the great news, as follows,

Hello Sherry Li,

I just came across your blog. Thought you might be interested in my blog for my new podcast Talking Toastmasters Padcast!

We interviewed Vikas Jhingran last week and he won the World Championship of Public Speaking in Phoenix this past weekend. (Unfortunately, the audio quality of that particular episode was not too great--but Vikas was excellent!)

Check it out, and feel free to put a link to it on your blog, if you think your readers would enjoy it. Good luck with your Toastmasters career!

Sincerely,
Ryan Levesque, Massachusetts
Co-Host, Talking Toastmasters Podcast

No sooner than later, I listened to "Interview with Vikas Jhingran" on Talking Toastmasters, I am happy that members in the big extended Toastmaters family can be reached out in a click. It feels great to be able to listen to Toastmasters on the other side of the wolrd.

From now on, in addition to our monthly reading gathering, we can actually listen to the interviews of authors of Toastmaster Magazine on Talking Toastmasters Padcast! Let's hear what Dee Dees, DTM, has to say about Looking for Speech Ideas? Look at Your Life! in Toastmaster Magazine July issue.

Our voice is our identity. I just can't wait to get to know more Toastmasters around the globe by tuning to Talking Toastmasters! Join me, would you?

Thank you, Ryan, and Congratulations, Vikas!
