In this episode, Stefan shares his journey from struggling with business communication to becoming a prominent leader in Toastmasters Europe. He reveals the origin of his signature word "so," reflects on the 11-year path to becoming a District Director, and explains why serenity is a leader's greatest asset during a crisis . Finally, Stefan discusses how his passion for creative Italian cooking mirrors his approach to public speaking, emphasizing the importance of adding personal "twists" to surprise and engage an audience . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Key Takeaways for Listeners Own Your Flaws to Build a Brand: Stefan turned a common filler word—"so"—into a signature trademark . By acknowledging and leaning into his speaking habits with humor, he transformed a perceived weakness into a memorable part of his identity on stage . Leadership is About Service, Not Status: Having climbed the ranks from club member to District Director over 11 years, Stefan emphasizes that in volunteer organizations, it is far more important to "serve than to shine" . Because volunteers cannot be commanded like employees, a leader must focus on inspiration and humble communication to achieve a win-win result . Cultivate Serenity in the Face of Chaos: True leadership skills are tested during high-pressure situations, such as managing a district conference when the venue catches fire . Stefan highlights that maintaining serenity and calmness is essential for a leader to keep a team focused and ensure that the audience remains unaffected by behind-the-scenes challenges .https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f298010b-ab78-4eb0-8476-214aee40cf17/a53fdfe5-c56f-4a46-8cfc-4035e286bdd9-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/vXtH4m4zJaUipSVzVbUYTa1656002026-10-02T11:02:29.190ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/nDL21c2fYJ3sS257hknRDq2026-10-02T11:02:15.290Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/f3fc0c06-4752-4d48-bbd6-40e553344fdc.jpgFocus | Scrum ValueHow focussing on one task at a time makes a difference?

His career quickly expanded, shifting from successful competitive speaking into professional training and event moderation. Initially, he started his business by organizing local "5 minute speeches" events because, as he put it, "nobody called me. So you know what? I'm going my I'm going to invite myself there on stage". He delivered immersive, three-day training workshops, often held in the mountains to keep participants engaged and disconnected from the outside world, allowing them to feel "very happy with the activity of speaking".

Literally, it refers to his physical stature, as he is only **132 cm tall despite being 33 years old**, meaning he is frequently "looking up" when speaking to others. Philosophically, the title underscores his commitment to being **positive, optimistic, and persistent** regardless of the challenges he faces in life. The inspiration for the book came from his father around winter 2019, who suggested Gustaf turn ten of his recent Toastmasters speeches into short stories. This initial idea launched a substantial commitment that spanned five years until the published book was finally held in his hand. The writing process was highly vulnerable and required Gustaf to combat insecurity and procrastination. He likened sending his draft to an editor as sending "a piece of me over the internet" for critique. To counter this fear and hesitation, he committed to public accountability by documenting his progress on an Instagram account, following the powerful advice that **if you don't feel any doubt, shame, or fear about making an announcement, you've waited too long**. This perseverance, nurtured by years of developing inner strength through playing sports and taking leadership roles within Toastmasters (where he has been a member for eight years), led to a contract with a Swedish publisher. The resulting book provided him with the **credibility** necessary for speaking engagements outside of Toastmasters, leading to paid events and regional recognition, including features on TV, radio, and the front cover of a regional newspaper. Gustaf's current strategy is to focus locally—all paid speaking engagements and the book are in Swedish—before expanding globally by releasing the book in English. 3 Key Takeaways 1. **The Message of Persistence and Optimism:** The book, *Always Looking Up*, is a literal reference to Gustaf's height (132 cm tall) and a metaphoric...https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/218e4aa9-d72a-4400-84f6-3d08d8c039cc/97ea1931-f92b-4514-ba02-ba944192e82c-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/59k8j55PB3MLFHvGJhXKyG2366002026-10-02T10:58:36.851ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/4rCSaCnkZz5ZmNcrs3i1EJ2026-10-02T10:58:02.060Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/b36e7750-fb3b-43b1-a05a-4b9951832e8b.jpg"Be Real in Speaking and Singing" with Naomi Susan IsaacsWelcome back to the Speaker Shine podcast! I am truly honored to host my special guest, Naomi, whose insights have profoundly influenced my own approach to speaking, dating back to a workshop she led at my Toastmasters club, the Munich Pros Masters. That workshop introduced me to the concept of speakers who "take the party to the audience" versus those who say they "bring the party to them", which felt "strangely powerful" when I adopted the latter approach. In this session, we delve into Naomi's journey from developing her distinct, powerful voice, which she attributes partially to her family history of having to fight her way to being heard, to finding rebellion and freedom through discovering jazz. She shares her deep belief in "Singing for All," arguing that nobody should be excluded from singing, as telling a child they cannot sing attacks a very central part of their personality and ability to communicate. We also explore her time in Toastmasters, where she found a community focused on speaking about "something that mattered". Naomi recounts the absolute highlight of coaching Cyril Junior Dim, who became the international champion of public speaking, a collaboration that emphasized him being real and joining the audience rather than "stop trying to be good". Finally, she offers wisdom derived from her German book, Postkarte aus Bali, which contains her philosophy of life, providing timeless advice for speakers, singers, and everyone seeking to communicate authentically. 3 Key Takeaways from Naomi: 1. The Core Mandate for Communication: The ultimate parting thought for speakers, singers, and all human beings is: "Stop trying to be Good. Just be real". Being likable is crucial, and it means being normal and natural, allowing yourself to be seen by others. 2. The Speaker's Essential Trifecta: Naomi outlines the three most important priorities for speakers and singers: connection (connecting to the audience), empathy (understanding the audience and ...https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1bdfbaa3-11ec-4a70-9dfb-3b190e260b8e/1febfd28-df7c-4dee-9d70-acf0945712c8-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/4rCSaCnkZz5ZmNcrs3i1EJ2826002026-10-02T10:58:02.060ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/g4XPm2TeqbisZDNocRKtZW2026-10-02T10:57:39.750Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/8ff45d03-af19-42bb-b61b-aee185789c8d.jpg"Singing Speaker's Journey to Intention" with Find Your Voice by Hana BrellahWelcome to this episode of the Speaker Shine Podcast, featuring speaker, singer, and professional leader, Find Your Voice by Hana Brellah. Hana shares her journey from her "first love," singing—which began in childhood using a big wooden spoon as a microphone—to becoming a multilingual songwriter and public speaker. Drawing on her extensive background, including her education as a pharmacist, she now runs "Find Your Voice by Hana Brellah," a company dedicated to coaching leaders to improve their communication clarity and consistency. Hana firmly states that communication is critical, asserting it is **not a "soft skill" or "sideline hustle"** and must be prioritized equally with strategy and finance. She discusses her commitment to continuous growth through Toastmasters, which she describes as her "speaking gym," and reflects on the rewarding journey toward her significant goal of becoming a TEDx speaker. Here are 3 key takeaways for the viewer from this insightful conversation: 1. **Performance Skills from Singing are Highly Transferable to Speaking**. Hana learned essential stage tips, collaboration, and audience engagement skills from performing solo, singing in choirs, and engaging with the conductor. She also found that **songwriting is akin to risk-taking** because it involves exposing oneself and one's original message, much like public speaking. She leverages these analogies in her keynotes, comparing topics like leadership to the dynamic between a choir and its conductor. 2. **Communication for Leaders Must Be Prioritized and Constantly Improved**. Hana emphasizes that leaders are the face and voice of their organizations, meaning their communication directly impacts trust, reputation, and competitive positioning. However, studies suggest that only 5% of leaders seek feedback on their communication, indicating many may speak exactly the same way they did ten years prior. Hana stresses that leaders need a **"sparring partner" or outsider coach...https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7a06b58f-e29a-41cc-a97c-84c96bf3ee14/b3ebc012-1ac7-456d-b2a3-ca39288132d9-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/g4XPm2TeqbisZDNocRKtZW2356002026-10-02T10:57:39.750ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/k2GqXK75WJS7wCewnweMsK2026-10-02T10:57:02.890Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/55f12981-bd68-4cde-a3e4-499a6ed68423.jpg"Transform your presence" with Sangbreeta Moitra @SangbreetaMoitra is a TEDx award winner, European public speaking award winner, Solopreneur of the year 2024 and one of the 400 Most Inspiring Women of The Netherlands.

How he went from a quiet kid and realized that Math was not his forte but he did have the Gift of the Gab! He explains his challenges with weight and transforms that journey for the listener to a bigger message. I loved the way, he used the weighing scale as a prop and masterfully crafted the message around it. It is great to see how he took his learning from Toastmasters and used it in leading at work with his improved communication skills. Here are few quotes from Martin: "A scale can only measure your connection to gravity and not how much you're worth." "We connect through emotions rather than rationality." "It is that you can't teach somebody they shouldn't smoke if you smoke yourself." "And if you want to go beyond, like if you want members to go beyond, you need to go beyond."https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/66f04def-b456-4399-9778-23b08e088f74/bca2855b-f268-47f5-880a-65a86bf9d876-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/dHfQLmaoviHeQ4wVDEYgUh2674002026-10-02T10:56:40.313ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/2t6dHuZznuaDL9ptVbyYoo2026-10-02T10:56:11.436Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/dd028d6c-33b7-4f7a-9d21-303c2784a68d.jpg"Event Hosting and MCing" with Ben J. Munday## Speaker Shine Podcast: Body, Purpose, and the Art of Connection with Ben ### Summary Ben, an expert coach from Berlin, grounds his work in the connection between the **brain, the body, and purpose** (mental, physical, and emotional aspects of performance). He uses **somatic exercises** (practices derived from the Greek *soma*, meaning body) to build physical self-awareness, believing that **change starts with the body** and influences how we think, feel, and do things. The host immediately noticed a **change in energy and flow** simply by choosing to stand during the podcast. Ben's early viral video featuring a half-naked picture humorously demonstrated tips on using the physical body to influence thought and action. Ben provides practical advice for the startup scene using the quick and effective **three H pitch technique** for founders: the **Hook** (to draw people in emotionally), the **Hope** (the aspiration or impact they wish to achieve), and the **Help** or 'ask' (the specific need for investment, community, or knowledge). Ben "fell into" professional **moderation and event hosting** through volunteer leadership roles in **Toastmasters**. He clarifies that the moderator's primary role is to be the **connection** between the audience and the stage. While acting as an ambassador for the organizer, a successful moderator strives for the **speakers to shine**, not for the MC to steal the spotlight. ### Key Takeaways * **Connection is the Red Thread:** The ability to be a good moderator or host hinges on **connection** with the audience and the speakers. * **Preparation is Everything:** Moderators must conduct research, including building personal connection with guests beforehand by asking for **personal, humanizing details** (e.g., being a volunteer firefighter) to incorporate into introductions. Cultural research (e.g., local language greetings) helps the audience feel **seen**. * **The 5-Minute Prep:** Before going on stage, the...https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0be16fd9-c46c-4afd-8097-82d8d5e41cf2/b785c881-17e3-4040-8d2d-3417017aa18c-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/2t6dHuZznuaDL9ptVbyYoo2909002026-10-02T10:56:11.436ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/vSMVtSukPreQ2HcQEsEgkh2026-10-02T10:55:43.801Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/f428f5a2-0a02-4615-ba5d-25586df18034.jpg"Global Delivery Evolution" with Anurag SethiThe discussion featured Anurag and the host, BITS Pilani alumni (1992–1996), who connected in Munich. Anurag's career began in pharma before he transitioned to IT around 2003, during the Y2K and IT revolution. Early outsourcing involved transition teams securing large 3–5 year deals and transferring knowledge, often facing hostile reactions from staff who felt their livelihoods were threatened. However, Anurag stressed that India’s success was driven by its **talent** pool, with cost serving only as a bonus. This talent evolution moved the delivery ecosystem up the value chain, shifting from operations towards development, design, strategy, and R&D labs, and fueling GCC growth. Anurag moved to Munich in 2013 for Infosys's BMW project, noting the German market was just beginning to adopt global delivery models. Acceptance of English as the common business language was key to leveraging global talent. Later, managing alliances for HP Software, Anurag became the bridge to major Indian SIs. This revealed that system integrators (SIs) acted as critical influencers and recommenders for customers, making partnerships essential for product companies. Currently, as Global Client Partner for SAP at Infosys (managing a $2.5 billion business volume), Anurag observes SAP’s push for a fully integrated application suite, challenging the "best of breed" concept. He views AI as a **watershed moment**. For SIs, the immediate mandate is to "recharge their core" and boost productivity. The future is a **hybrid world**; while 30% to 70% of tasks may be automated by algorithms, human teams must achieve higher productivity. Crucially, future global delivery decisions will be driven by which location offers the most **creativity** and ability to align with business problems, moving beyond a focus solely on low-cost locations. The near future promises "agentification," where technology agents will manage transactions and communications.https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f1f08297-9ab8-4bb6-a018-6206c0c5af4a/94d1bab5-3bdf-4041-aa09-80c2015097ff-master.m3u8https://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/videos/embed/vSMVtSukPreQ2HcQEsEgkh2577002026-10-02T10:55:43.801ZYESRanjith Venkatesh SpeaksNOhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/w/fiZ3C7P1nnRTVQvzXeWxZV2026-10-02T10:55:18.404Zhttps://videos.ranjithvenkatesh.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/4f256bca-2dde-4544-b8d9-065a50ae4b9a.jpgKural | Sweetness of Speech | 1/10Kural | Sweetness of Speech | 1/10 Speaker: Ranjith Venkatesh Description: Reflecting of the sweetness of speech by bringing in elements of love, deceit and virtue Author: Thiruvalluvar Book: Thirukural Translator: W.
