Enrique will be the Toastmaster and the theme of the meeting is impromptu speaking.
Everyone will get a chance to work on their impromptu speaking skills. (guests do not have to participate)
There are no other pre-meeting assignments at this time. After all the theme is impromptu
The formula for the evening
Each person will fill out a slip of paper with a topic. Very short, 1 – 5 words.
Will will gather them together, number them for speaking order, then mix them up, and distribute.
People can trade with their neighbors if they wish.
Each person will have a 2nd slip of paper, the size of a small, square Post-It note. The idea is it fits and hides nicely in the palm of your hand.
You will have 2 minutes to write on that paper:
- Intro:
- 3 – 5 main points
- Conclusion: Restating the Intro and the key points.
The talent is to take the topic where you want to go. Take it to something, some key points, you can speak cohesively about.
Then wrap! it up in an irrefutable way so you make your final point.
You are the expert or at least someone credible on the topic, your topic, which doesn’t have to be right on the main topic.
For example, if you were given Healthcare 2010. You could bring the speech to a personal story about your grandmother and talk about how she might have viewed the situation.
We will do short, group only, evaluations after each speaker speaks. 2-4 minutes.
