Number 10 or Number 1

Is this a repeat?  Last week we heard an Ice Breaker speech as well as a Competent Communicator speech number ten.

This afternoon we had another great Toastmaster meeting with an Ice Breaker speech, the number one.  And a Competent Communicator, Inspire Your Audience speech, the number ten.

This afternoon we got to know a little bit about one of our newest members, Kris.   Kris delivered his Ice Breaker today.  His first speech.  Was her nervous, you certainly couldn't tell.  Was it an engaging story?  You bet.  His presentation was well delivered to a very attentive audience.  We all got to know about the places Kris has lived in his search for the perfect place.  We also heard some of the good as well as the bad things about these places.  Kris is in the environmental field and from today's presentation, I am sure there are some stories that are busting out from his experiences that we are sure to hear in the future.  Thanks for your presentation Kris.  You did a great job and the club is looking for your next presentation.

Next up was Tanya.  She is also a relatively new member to Prairie Schooners, transferring to our club last fall from WE Toastmasters.  As Tanya has completed her presentations we have come to enjoy her easy story telling voice with her gestures and animations.  Her presentation today did not disappoint.  As Tanya is involved in the health field, her presentation revolved around appreciation and looking at changing our perspectives.  Tanya presented many facts that convinced us if we are happy and appreciative, we are healthier.  She guided us in a visual exercise that demonstrated her points.  With the completion of this speech, Tanya has earned her Competent Communicator educational designation.  Great job Tanya.  Even thought there were some minor technical difficulties, your presentation went off without a hitch.

I am certainly looking forward to hearing the continuing adventures Kris chooses to share and well as seeing what advanced manuals Tanya dives into next.  The whole club is waiting in anticipation as am I.
