Another great meeting this week with two excellent presentations from two seasoned Toastmasters.
Raymond is working through one of the advanced communications manuals, Persuasive Speaking, and tried to sell us on the benefits of LED message signs. His delivery was so relaxed it felt like he was talking to us in our family room instead of being a typical sales pitch around a board room table. Raymond posed questions in his delivery and them answered them. Questions that the audience were already thinking about were answered before the end of his talk. I think the members in attendance were convinced that this technology is the way to go if you wanted to advertise your product. A very interesting presentation, thank you Raymond.
Our second presentation was by our Past President Julia. She is working through the requirements for her Advanced Leader Bronze and gave us a detailed explanation of how to give effective feedback. Feedback is one of the cornerstones of the Toastmaster experience and this is the reason it is part of the Leadership Excellence Series. Simple and direct points were presented that all toastmasters, new and seasoned, can incorporate into their evaluations to make them better. Very interesting Julia and well done. I see you completing your Advance Leader goal this year.
Why not come out next week and see who is on the schedule. I think there are another two presentations, one from a new member and the other from a veteran.
See you then
