Congratulations to our Chapter Champion!

New chapter member Anna Njarlangattil Thomas is the winner of NSA Pittsburgh’s Last Story Standing contest. The contest challenges professional speakers to tell a story in less than 5 minutes that demonstrates Purpose, Impact, and Delivery.

Anna wowed our panel of judges with her gripping tale of the tornado that hit her daughter’s day care center, and how it showed the importance of having systems and routines to help us maintain order in moments of chaos.

Watch Anna’s winning contest entry here:

NSA Pittsburgh has some especially talented speakers! See the stories of Runner-Up Jim Ice and all our contestants here

Good luck to Anna, who now advances to compete against other Chapter Champions across the eastern United States in the Last Story Standing regionals. We hope she gets to be one of three national finalists performing this July at Influence! 

Thanks to all our contestants for sharing their excellent stories. And start thinking now about what story YOU will tell in next year’s Last Story Standing contest. We’ll be doing it on stage with a live audience!
