In August 2019, Aaron Beverly emerged as the winner of the Toastmasters International Speech Contest, an annual public speaking competition that (at the time) included 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.

However, even as a world champion of public speaking, Aaron is one of the most introverted people you can meet. Like many others, Aaron believed that public speaking and storytelling were “extroverted” activities meant for the boldest and loudest people in the room. But, with hard work, dedication and a team of invaluable supporters, Aaron has become proficient in both skills and has since learned that introversion is an asset when it comes to communication.

Aaron is a senior consultant at Deloitte, the largest Financial services Firm in the world. He has been invited to speak at Fortune 100 companies and notable Universities And has engaged audiences in various countries around the world.

Aaron doesn’t credit his achievements to an advanced degree, or a privileged life; he credits it learning effective communication and public speaking. He is living proof, that the art communication can have a profoundly positive effect on the advancement of your professional career and the fulfillment of your life.
