Public Speaking Northwest held its Inspirational and Evaluation Contests. Toastmaster Tracy led the meeting with a tribute to competition and the contest participants.
Public Speaking Quote:
“A good orator is pointed and impassioned.” Cicero
Our speakers and evaluators were both pointed and
impassioned.
Inspirational speaker, Barbara Katz, shared a personal story
about the need for forgiveness. Its surprise ending proved how important
forgiveness is. Her call to action enhanced her presentation.
Pierce Loftin evaluated her talk with many positive remarks.
Pierce’s enthusiasm, clear thinking, and direct manner made him a great
contender.
Inspirational speaker, Emery Jordan, gave an inspirational and
humorous talk about the romantic relationships in his life. It was a perfect
topic since the contest was held on Valentine’s Day. His message invited all of
us to embrace our relationships.
Ken Knuckey gave a dramatic evaluation pointing out the
strong points in Emery’s presentation. He used gestures, facial expressions,
and direct eye contact with Emery which highlighted Ken’s kind and awesome
skills in evaluating.

With a drum roll, Toastmaster Tracy, announced the winners.
