I began my “Creating Colorful Connections” workshop at the Toastmasters Joint District 59\/95 Conference in Athens, Greece,<\/a> by explaining that an artist connects with colors. After a quick presentation of my theory of the seven rainbow colors a speaker uses, I showed a short clip of a speech called Press the Button<\/strong> by Ricardo Cabete to illustrate what I meant. Ricardo was the winner of the\u00a0 2017 Division 59<\/a> International Speech Contest with this speech he performed in Winterthur, Switzerland. In my opinion, Ricardo is an artist who\u00a0 masterfully creates colorful conections with his audience. In my workshop, I showed only the first 75 seconds of Press the Button<\/strong> and then asked the audience to comment on the colors Ricardo used to connect. Review the colors on my Creating colourful connections handout May 2018<\/a>\u00a0and then take the test yourself.<\/p>\n

You can watch the full speech below. However, there is a long period of silence at the start of the video – the speech actually starts at 1′ 24″ with Ricardo’s first gesture.<\/p>\n
