Yes. Those who show up will one day own the future. So keep note those that missed our meeting on Tuesday 20th August! Read on to find out what happened.
FIRST HALF OF THE MEETING
- Louise Taylor led the meeting as the Toastmaster
- Neha Arora introduced the word of the day – ‘Recontexualise’
- Cristelle Delaporte added a creative spin to our table topics section. Guests and members were asked to participate in a panel to answer questions such as ‘What is the future of social media?” and pitching their best inventions. This is great example of where Toastmasters can help you with real life situations such as speaking on a panel.
AFTER THE NETWORKING BREAK
- Agnes Favillier gave her speech on “flying or streaming?”
- Caroline Gormley taught everyone the joys of doing absolutely nothing with her speech on “the art (and science) of doing nothing”.
- Sarah Bergin asked everyone “what is your pace?”
