Quote of the day
Lucky me (Muzza!), I landed the job of general evaluator today, evaluating the Toastmaster, evaluators of speakers, grammarian, table topics and the list goes on. With all evaluations you start off with a good point, followed by something they can improve on then another good point to keep your speech positive. Sometimes I get a bit tongue tied (others may say dyslexic) and blurt out some amable phrase taking myself and others off guard. So while evaluating Michael one of the speech evaluators I ended up putting my wrong foot in, telling him he wasn’t so much a monotone speaker (his words) he’s just a great person to speak to.
He’s just a great person to speak to.
Instantly the class erupted in laughter with big smiles all round. Stopping my evaluation for several minutes until the joking subsided.
On a more serious note we have had another great rollup at Kickstart Toastmasters and indulged in a great breakfast put on by the Reef Sebel. Bronwen is organising a new page on the website with all the job descriptions of our rolls. Meanwhile head over to the Toastmaster International website for a gander there is more information than you’ll ever need.
If you’ve been wondering who the handsome guy in the above photograph is, is Troy. One of Kickstarts well respected members and an all round nice guy. I captured in action evaluating todays Table Topics.
Tom Cruise have dyslexia and yet he is still a very successful actor.*-,
dyslexia is not that debiliating but it is somewhat limiting to the kind of job that you can get:-’
