We had another beneficial meeting today. Jean was our Toastmaster and shared many famous quotes about Autumn. Jean also gave us a mini refresher course on how to be an effective evaluator. A simple method for giving useful evaluations include saying something positive followed by a suggestion for improvement and concluding with something positive. It is important "to own" your suggestions by starting the statements with: " I suggest", " I think ", or " In my opinion ". All of put our evaluation skills to use because we gave group evaluations to our second and third speakers.
Our first speaker was Kate. The tittle of her talk was " Survive and Thrive". Kate shared three skills that will help everyone survive thrive from any crisis. They are: trust your instincts, know your surroundings and live in the moment.
Our second speaker was Sravanthi. The tittle of her talk was " Count 0 to 10 Everyday". Sravanthi spoke of the importance of drinking 8 - 10 glasses of water everyday. She listed the many benefits of water consumption and gave us suggestions for incorporating the habit into our daily routine.
Jerry was our third speaker. The tittle of his talk was " One Two Three Foot It Out." Jerry spoke of the need for cultural diversity. The 1,2,3 foot it out was a technique his kindergarten teacher used to make sure everyone got a fair chance. Jerry pointed out that cultural diversity at its best ensures everyone getting a fair chance.Our meeting today was also enriched by our guests; Jordan, Dallas and Sophia. Jordan and Dallas were invited by members and Sophia found us via our web page. Now we extend an invitation to you. Please join us. Guests are always welcome.
I was happy we had guests because they could see how fast a member grows with just 7 talks. Both Kate and Jerry made us so proud. Srivanthi came to us with speaking skills and her speech wowed us too.
