  Her charisma won the championship for her. <br>Charismatic habits:<br>1. Inhabiting actions/characters of the story<br>2. Using vocal dynamics: changing tonalities<br>3. Hand gestures<br>4. Using the stage <br>5. Using humor

  Her confidence level is at level of nobody. Her speech is simple but message is strong and delivery is extremely well done.

  Her presentation seems to be more of a poetry slam contest than a toastmasters&apos; speech.

  The humorous, expressive, and highly empathetic delivery makes the moral message conveyed feel so memorable and relevant to anyone who is currently facing challenges.

  I was a competitor in the 2018 World Championships from Australia. After winning the Club level and Area level, I went on to win the Division level and &nbsp;I progressed to the District Contest in which I did not place, but I am quite happy to be the Division Champion in my very first World Championship. <br><br>I have to disagree with some of the commenters who have said that this wasn&apos;t a great speech...not World Championship material...not much content... etc. However, one has to remember that a winner is a person who scores more points over the current opponents and not some previous gold standards. <br><br>As a competitor (who lost) I have to concede that Ramona did a great job and I have lost to a really deserving speaker. She had humour, it was entertaining...she brought out the humour in stages after building a foundation of personal defeat. There was also a call to action in the very inspirational message that whatever happens it is to your credit if YOU ARE STILL STANDING! <br><br>Hats off Ramona...Congratulations on your spectacular victory!
