Members enjoy Table topics
6 members and 4 guests attended the October 6th Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters meeting. Nicole led the meeting as Toastmaster.
Our first speaker was Sally. Sally gave a hilarious speech titled A Mixed Marriage. It was about how she and her husband work through the cultural divide that separates their marriage. Sally says you haven’t experienced frustration until you’ve had to argue with your spouse in a second language. “Everything I say sounds too polite!” she says.
Sandy evaluates Scott’s speech
Nagisa was our second speaker presenting her speech titled So How Was Zambia?. She shared stories from her recent trip to Zambia and some of the interviews she conducted with locals about the tourism industry during her trip. Specifically, she told us about Zambia’s challenge with elephants. It turns out, elephants are considered an annoyance in Zambia. They can storm a residence and eat peoples food, but tourists love them. What’s a country to do!
Scott was our third speaker. His speech was titled High Performance Leadership Project. He gave a summary of work he had completed earlier in the year for his High Performance Leadership Project (HPLP). The project was to organize a leadership workshop for club officers and members. He shared what he learned from the experience.
Will lead our table topics session. He asked members to share their favorite genre of movie for their table topics response. Colin and Norma tied for best table topics participant.
