Second meeting

The second meeting of our group happened to be already without the support from other clubs. Nevertheless, it was a great meeting. There was a lot activity from the participants. Quit impressive for a such a new group.

There were already 2 speeches from the “Competent Communicator Manual”, the basic training material. The first speech project is the so called Ice Breaker. Both speakers, Miso and Georg, showed a great example of commitment and dedication, and good communication skills.

Additionally we did an educational session on speech evaluation within Toastmasters. The trained content was put immediately into action. Again, the participants showed a high level of initiative.

Looking already forward to the next meeting: How want to take on a role during the event? Pick one of these activities:

Speaker, doing a speech from the manual?
Evaluator, giving structured feedback to a speaker?
Professional Tip of the day: Present a practical tip we can use in our day-to-day live?
Word of the day: Introduce us to a new English word in order to enrich our vocabulary?
Who wants do be the Table Topic Master?
Timekeeper, AH-Counter and Quizmaster are to be covered as well.

These are 10 opportunities to take an active role during the next session. Please sign up!

Status of the club:
We have received the “Club kit” from the US. So I have the “New Member Packages” for 20 people. In case you are interested let me know and I can forward the material to you asap. Precondition of course is to become a club member J.

We have already one person who signed up to take on a Club Leadership Position (or a VP as it is called in Toastmasters). Radovan is prepared to get into the team, preferably as a VP of PR. Anyway, there are still some more empty places to be filled…. I am happy for ever further application.

Next meeting is on the 09.06. at 18:30 room A3.12in within the UniEco. Guests are welcome anytime! Spread the word!

Hope to see you there,
Klaus
