In his first podcast interview after winning the 2020 Toastmasters World Champion of Public Speaking, Mike Carr talks about his life, the importance of being a good speaker, and his journey to the speech contest. Mike Carr is a neighbor and friend of "Making Waves at C-Level" host Thom Singer. When Mike made it to the Toastmaster Semi-Finals, Thom joked that if he went to the finals of the competition and won...his first podcast interview had to be on Making Waves. Always a man of his word, Mike created the time for this in-depth interview just a few hours after his victory. About Mike Carr 25 years ago Mike had 1 wife, 0 children, and 0 stories. Then Mike started applying lessons he learned from a communications “guru,” and that made all the difference. Today, Mike still has 1 wife, but now 8 children, and more stories than he can count. Along the way, he has started small businesses with mixed success, and has held senior positions in government, corporations, and non-profit boards. Mike has told stories in order to make his point and make part of his living for 35 years, speaking to large organizations like Merrill Lynch, UBS, and Hewlett Packard and innumerable small ones. And this year he became the 2020 World Champion of Public Speaking. Currently, Mike is a partner in a financial planning and private equity company and speaks frequently on the topics of effective communication in a virtual world, team dynamics, and leadership.
