‘Don’t forget
to eat your greens’ Thursday, November 2nd

Toastmaster -
Laurel gave us some facts about what Halloween really means - mischief night,
not at all about just giving out sweets to greedy kids. She was very
professional and ran a tight ship.
·
Speeches – Helen
spoke on the ‘Merits of Silver beet’. She has it grown wildly in profusion near
her home and she produced some very long plants. She spoke of her enthusiasm
for it and the health-giving benefits of silver beet and how she tucks into it
for breakfast!
The second speaker
was Patrick and he spoke about his recent triathlon, his first time and about
body waste or ‘unwanted products’. I commended him for cleverly weaving in a
sensitive subject in a humorous way, which engendered chuckles especially at the
end.
·
Mike won
best evaluator for his thoughtful evaluation of Patrick and for using his
warm, resonant voice in such an effective way.
·
Barbara did a great job of evaluating Russell’s
transport orientated table topics, giving specific feedback as well as
being positive and upbeat with her recommendations.
·
Feedback –
a great use of pause throughout the meeting, our aim of reducing the use of
‘ums’ still needs focus. Using more vocal energy will result in a
greater overall pitch range and smiling more allows for a more modulated and
resonant voice. Laurel rounded the meeting off expertly with time to spare.
Don't forget to eat your greens!!
