“Turn Around” by Zifang “Sherrie” Su, 2018 World Championship of Public Speaking® 2nd Place Winner 

This was the speech that should have won 1st place. I was there, 8th row. This speech is so well constructed, the build up to the end took it to the top.

I got tears and laughter listening to her speech. It's like watching a beautiful inspiring movie in a concise form. I believe so many people could relate to some of her story. Congratulations for Turning Around and for getting your points across effectively.

Champion-caliber speech. I connected with hers, but not with the 1st place. There is something about speaking from the heart, rather than acting.

She's hero of Chinese Toastmasters！

That was an amazing speech that blends true emotions, humor, and inspiration altogether!

"Sherrie, we are not your parents. We are CCs" loolol lovvvvvvvvvvve it!

She definitly shouldve have won!!💙💙

SO GOOD. Watched it twice. She is funny, engaging and tells a great story.

That was amazing!!! I cried twice and laughed hard multiple times hard!! Powerful and effective speech 💪💪🤝🤝🌷🌷🌷🌷👏👏👏👏

Amazing, witty, quirky, and super inspiring! Great speech Sherrie!

I was in the fifth row. I think she should have won... and she may have if she had not the misfortune of drawing the first speaking slot. It's also worth mentioning she didn't speak English eight or nine years ago.

This speech should have won, the winner can't even compare to this... Su is just so amazing

Well spoken & acted out. She not only execute her speech well, she plays the role excellently. Constantly switching between emotions seamlessly, she's definitely one of the most effective speakers I've heard.

WWWWWWOW! SHE IS AMAZING!!!!! ((-: HOPING AND REALLY FEEL THIS SPEEECH WILL TURN MY "LIFE AROUND! "

Cuteness overloaded... lovely speech!

What a terrific speech! Humor, pain, mindful observations...wonderful to take in. Congratulations to Zifang!

As a book coach, I love the emotive way she communicates her story

Yeah, how did this girl not win???? I laughed and cried in the same speech, several times. And she's beyond adorable.

So much was packed into this 7 minutes, so much, so rich, so full, so clear, so eloquent, so so good! I love it!

"All of our conversations are 5-7 minutes long" HAHAHA!!

I could relate to most parts of it, that's why it could make me cry as well as laugh.

Love this! I just signed up Toastmaster recently to turnaround my shyness of public speaking. 😊

It was very powerful speech I liked it many more times then the winning speech and I think I would encourage me to think differently from now on

Those were the words from your heart that run through your entire speech. you were truly true to yourself sir and it has brought an impact on my life "to follow one room" that is to be myself. Thanks for reminding me to work on it to improve upon and go ahead in my life journey, to be an inspiration for the true wealth of the world that is humanity and more specifically the "Youth" to value the gift of life and to bring joys, serenity, and peace in each individual on this planet.
