Kenyan Wins In The Silent Speaker Battle

Wiesbaden, 14. November 2023

Over 200 speakers from 27 nations gathered in Wiesbaden to participate in a unique event to sharpen their public speaking skills, compete against each other, and share their stories. Among them was an African immigrant based in Germany for over twenty-five years.

At the International Silent Speaker Battle, a competition among professional speakers, Nancy Nungari impressively demonstrated her talent for inspiring people. And she did it in a foreign language - German.

Within 120 seconds, she became the audience's favorite, proudly representing her home country, Kenya, and her city of residence in North Rhine Westphalia.

Silent What?
The Silent Speaker Battle is an innovative event initiated by Germany's leading speaker, trainer, and author, Hermann Scherer. Like silent parties where multiple DJs synchronously play different music, and guests choose their preferred DJ using headphones, five speakers simultaneously took the stage in Wiesbaden.

While all five delivered their concise 3-minute speeches simultaneously, the audience could only listen to one of them. This was possible via headphones, with the possibility of switching between the channels of their favorite speakers by pressing a button. The colors red, blue, yellow, and green illuminated harmoniously with the speakers and headphones, creating a kaleidoscope of colors in the hall.

The Challenge and Assignment
Speakers had only three minutes to captivate and inspire their audience. The ability to effectively deliver a speech alongside four peers simultaneously talking without getting distracted and losing your train of thought is a mastery in professional speaking. Participants also had to maintain composure and focus on delivering a complete talk because the microphone was turned off after 120 seconds.

Nancy successfully conveyed why we need a vision and what we can do to overcome the barriers that hinder us from following our dreams. She illustrated her message by explaining why an African impala in a zoo cannot fully unleash its potential compared to an unrestrained animal in the savannah. A listener said that the example of why we don't move forward like an impala in the zoo helped him internalize the message.

In conclusion, Nancy shared how a vision helped her get through an extremely challenging and dark phase in her life. Her speech was based on principles from her book on vision boarding.

A Book With Applicable Inspiration
Nancy's book 'Vision Boarding - How to Activate Your Dreams' gives readers simple and practical insights on approaching their big and small dreams without sacrificing themselves to the "altar of performance." It is about holistic life design to live out one's potential and enjoy a fulfilling life.

"The book encourages and invites readers to pursue their forgotten, buried, or new dreams despite life's challenges," the author reports. English copies have been available on Amazon since 2017, and the German version will be available from January 2024, when many of us are optimistic and open to change.

My goal is to inspire many people to take steps of faith because, from working with my coaching clients and personal experiences, I know we often don't follow through with our goals and dreams because we lack a clear vision in our mind's eye. Visible and invisible barriers hinder us from moving forward. The crucial action steps towards implementation are often not taken because we don't know where we will land - just like the African impala in the zoo.

Communicating all of this convincingly in just three minutes was a challenge. So when Blue, my microphone color, was announced as the winner, I was pleasantly surprised and thankful to the audience for voting for me. The surprise was because, unlike my peers, German is not my native language. It is not an easy language, and the grammatical gender (masculine, feminine, neuter) and the correct cases, nominative, accusative, genitive, and dative, will always remain a mystery to me. But that shouldn't be an obstacle to inspiring people.

As long as the core message is understood - dare to dream, but wake up, take small steps toward your vision, and remember to enjoy the journey," Nancy concluded with conviction.

The Speaker Slam has already made a name in the European speaker scene. It has been held multiple times in Mastershausen, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, and Hamburg.
