Verity Price | Activating Optimism Showcase

from WeSpeak Global Hosted by WeSpeak Global

What does it take to be the first? Way back in 2005, Verity started her journey as the first South African musician with the tenacious foresight to get online crowd funding for an album she hadn't even recorded yet. Fifteen years later, and a career glittered with accolades, brings us to 2021 and Verity's latest big first - first speaker from Africa to ever be crowned the World Champion of Public Speaking and the 6th woman in history. Her talent for ‘acting out the box’ rather than merely ‘thinking out’ of it, has brought international success for Verity, speaking globally on innovation and thinking differently, which includes two TEDx Talks. As the Toastmasters 2021 World Champion, Verity captured the judges, and thousands of peoples imagination with her winning speech ‘A Great Read’ - an inspiring invitation to improve our lives by "writing a different story". Helping people do just that, is Verity's passion. VIEW FULL SPEAKING PROFILE HERE
