Stories From Around the World – Toastmasters meeting on May 5th

We had a global audience join us virtually from all around the world, including countries such as India, Mexico and Slovakia! Read on to find out what happened in our fun-packed meeting.

In the first part of the meeting, we had our Table Topics section. Jon Lam, the Topics Master of the night, challenged members and guests to imagine themselves as authors and describe their very “interesting” books to everyone.

After a small break, we resumed with the prepared speeches section where:

  • Cristelle Delaporte described “My favourite memory”
  • Matilda Hay taught everyone “Lessons for our Inner Artist”
  • Neha Arora told everyone to “Screw that! Just chill out instead”
  • Saloomeh Mokhtari emphasized “The power of you”

Without evaluations our public speaking skills would see little improvement and that’s why we had our evaluators give feedback to the speakers. Thank you Ga Lok Chung, Dipendra Mistry, Scott Baker and Dami Sangobiyi for providing very useful feedback to the speakers!

Our night was filled with winners:

  • Best Table Topics Speaker: Ga Lok Chung
  • Best Evaluator: Scott Baker
  • Best Prepared Speaker: Matilda Hay
Thank you for making this such a fun meeting!

See you for more public speaking and fun on May 19th 2020!
