Resolutions

I have to say the toastmasters meet on the 8/1/2020 was another high-energy, vibrant occasion.

As one member aptly summed up before, toastmasters is analogous to the ‘school of life’ and we all came away having learned something new. 

The crowd numbers are ever-increasing and that’s a tribute to how well-run, encouraging and enthusiastic the meetings are.

The topics for the evening included New Year's Resolutions, topical flu vaccines and how to reset your mindset on a Monday.

You know the topics are a great success when the members and guests all have their hands up hoping to be picked to speak.

A great topics section inspires people to speak impromptu regardless of nerves and that was evident this evening.

The two ice-breaker speeches at the meet really set a high standard for 2020 and were both really interesting, humorous and serendipitously congruent.

We had two following speeches from more experienced members from which we learned about the difference between hearing and listening and enjoyed a humorous anecdote about pub raids.

At the tea break, members could bond more and enjoy conversing with all the other like-minded individuals all on different stages of their public-speaking journey.

And the final note, delivered through a poem in the creative corner, reminded us all of the importance of brushing our teeth.

As evident from this meeting, no two are ever the same, yet the perfect group always assembles.
