Good 'Ol Public Speaking

I'm always on the look out for examples of Good 'Ol Public Speaking.  Here's an example of how a political candidate shows up to speak to people in real time.   Not a robocall. Not a text message.  Not a Live Video on Facebook.  Not a postcard in the mail.  Not a TV interview.

My then-14-year-old daughter wanted to host a Meet and Greet for a Gubernatorial Candidate in our home.  Would anyone show up on a Sunday afternoon?

Over 50 people showed up.  And they wanted to hear from the candidate and ask questions about her positions.   That they took to time to travel to our home, converse with complete strangers and then listen to the candidate speaks volume of their interest in the candidate and the political process.  These 50 individuals will prove to be far more valuable to the candidate later in the campaign than the thousands who may follow her feed on social media.  There is no substitute for hearing someone speak in person.  The stakes will be high to deliver in that presentation, but the impact will be far reaching.

What examples can you find of public speaking in today's world?  I would like to feature  more on this blog.
