If you've noticed some hot air rising from Bally's Hotel-Casino this week, it may have something to do with the the Toastmasters International Convention this week. Tomorrow, the finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking will be held to close out the convention. We meet the group's leaders and two of the finalists ahead of their speeches for the big finals.

GUESTS

Pat Johnson. Pres, Toastmasters International

Daniel Rex, Exec Dir, Toastmasters International

Jeffrey Purtee, World Championship Finalist, Reno

Olivia Scholfield, World Championship Finalist, Berlin, Germany

	Jeffrey, you never cease to inspire me my good friend. The kicker is that what you say on radio here are words of yours that I've heard before from no one else but you, the exact way you say them. That consistence in who you really are places remarkably strategically in your ability to keep inspiring me. Kudos to you, Sir. "Always a pleasure, my friend" I guess you recognize those words :) Andrew Kasozi –Aug 22, 2011 14:34:35 PM Respond to this comment

	Your Toastmasters guests said it just the way it is! I was proud of their responses to your questions. Las Vegas' contestant - Scott Pritchard - is in the finals tomorrow morning! Break a lip, Scott! Dianne Hunter –Aug 19, 2011 16:03:11 PM Respond to this comment

	Very interesting story, and it looks like my girlfriend is right- I don't smile either. I have to consciously smile or I "must be in a bad mood." Ryan –Aug 19, 2011 10:22:04 AM Respond to this comment
