Congratulations Luisa, every passing second of the speech was nerve cracking and very inspiring. I could live those 6 minutes as you experienced and narrated as your best 6 minutes of sleep. You will always be that ‘stranger’ going forward reminding the importance of self-value. Thank you so much for that bit of motivation and inspiration.
Thank you so much for your message. I am so glad to learn from your uplifting spirit. As an over 70-year-old lady, after being abandoned by the world as an elderly, I felt that was it-the end of my life. But I couldn’t find the exit. As a distinguished Toastmaster for over 20 years, battling aging and memory degradation, I have created a new life plan with schedules, target objectives, and milestones for my brave new life.
My dear, I’m so sorry you felt the world abandoned you. Sometimes life can be cruel. You say you couldn’t find the exit. This hurt my heart. Yet here you are finding new ways to navigate through this amazing life we know as you!! I applaud you and commend you. As a stranger, please know that I can see your value and worth! Congratulations on still sharing your life with us. ❤
Still crying. I’m sharing this everywhere!!! I missed your speech live on zoom but said you were the winner when I heard your witty explanation of how you got your speech title… I got 37 invoices in the mail from 37 strangers 😂 bittersweet. Powerful. Inspiring
Fantastic speech! I love how Luisa kept it conversational, it felt like you were sitting at the kitchen table having a conversation with her. Heartwarming, clear message, and powerful perspective.

Congrats Luisa! The most important tool I got from your speech is to remind myself that importance of self-worth - we don't need its validation from others' before we accept it ourselves. Congrats on winning such an impactful 100 year event of Toastmaster's and I am glad to see that your alive, changing lives and still living life to its fullest! 🚀🏆

Congratulations! I heard about your winning speech in my TM club today, so raced here to watch it. What I loved most was your casual, comfortable style. I felt like you were in my living room talking to me. It's so unusual to see an ease like that on the world stage and it does take a special kind of talent, which you clearly have. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this gift that you have shared with 37+ strangers.
It was perfectly executed. Iv seen your 2019 speech. You had the same witty expressions, you carried the same energy. But this time it was more calm. Kept us hooked for entry of the speech. It was like listening to a story by grandma or grandpa. You graced the audience with inspiring story about resilience. Thank you.
Luisa, your speech was well-constructed, well-delivered, and well-received by us, your audience, who needed to hear your words of wisdom. Thank you for changing our lives!
WOW! WHAT AN AMAZING SPEECH! all kinds of strangers believe in us and see value in us! Who are you to doubt your value!? There have been so much intelligent design and purpose mixed together to bring you into life!
Another real life stories of substance for it talks about a life that must matter even after life on earth!😉 Worthy of my 7minutes! GOD our Maker is so good to remind all today through your voice. Thanks to to you & my kudos!
Oh, I just love your spoken and subliminal message - Obstacles can become Opporunities. I wish I had been there in person to watch and listen to your speech, but even through this virtual portal, my breathing change a few times, I got choked up and when you stood up to conclude, goosebumps crawled all around my body. Congratulations Luisa Montalvo!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
❤ felicitaciones Luisa, seguramente también hubo grandes toastmasters que tuvieron que ver para que tú llegarás hasta ahí. Un abrazo 🤗 y sigue inspirando.
@@luisamontalvo106 We are so honored to have your support. You are our hero! Congratulations on your immense success. We know it came from tons of hard work and practice. Just fabulous!
The storytelling is captivating. However, the video production appears amateurish, and the video quality is unfortunately quite disappointing. Watch how good it was in Kuala Lumpur in 2014.Dananjaya Hettiarachchi
"Strong people build each other " has always been my saying but Luisa , what strength, what courage and how beautifully you demonstrated that if 37 strangers can put that positive energy in you, see your value imagine what kind of inexpressibly beautiful human being we all can be by practicing this in our daily lives . Yes , I am up for more goodness. Reset done ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ World champion for a reason. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
While that’s one way of looking at it, my perspective of it was that I felt it was my God placing the young man in my path to help me realize that my life was valuable.

I understand why you would hope I wouldn’t see your message, but I want you to know that I feel EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion. It was actually a hidden message I had in my speech. I understand you didn’t find the speech great, I didn’t think it was GREAT either. But somehow the judges thought it was good enough for me to take home first place. I’m sure it wasn’t just you because if there’s anything I’ve learned from contests, it’s that you never know what’s going to win, and not EVERYONE is going to like your speech. I applaud you for telling the truth, and please believe me that I hold no ill will towards you for speaking your mind. ITS YOUR OPINION, and I RESPECT that!! Thank you my friend!
What am interesting take you have on my speech. I’m so sorry you feel I’m talking about God in an inappropriate way. This is my version of my God and I feel I made that known from the very beginning of my speech. I promise to try to become a better, more effective communicator so these comments will be a thing of the past. Once again, my apologies for offending you.
It's laid out very clearly in most contest language, I don't have the exact wording in front of me, but the contest chair or Toastmaster should say something before contests begin like 'These speeches may contain views, content or other material that some people may find offensive'. You don't have to agree with most speeches or people who win and that's both good and healthy.
Interesting reaction. On site, I found this approach to be particularly effective to reach believers and non believers alike. Watching again online, I stand by my opinion: @luisamontalvo106 was brilliant in her approach. Notwithstanding this, it's ok if you find it inappropriate; it's not ok to "demand that this video be deleted." Let's have more discussion, not less.
This speech is a trendsetter. Congratulations Champion!
Trendsetter! I like that!

Well instead of the 37 Strangers and the God, it took a handsome man to realise that she's got a second chance XP
While that’s one way of looking at it, my perspective of it was that I felt it was my God placing the young man in my path to help me realize that my life was valuable.
