This was Tom B’s last meeting as our club President. Thank you for your service, Tom!
Kiki N. was Toastmaster, Michael R. , Grammarian, and Tom B., Timer
Speaker #1, Traci M. brought a storyboard and shared her ice –breaker, “The One –Mile Me”. She shared how she made her life efficient, fulfilling, and sustainable in her work, family, faith, and daily activities all within a one mile walking radius from her home. Her next goal is to be efficient at writing her speeches to share at Toastmasters.
Speaker #2, Brett S. gave a powerful speech, “Surfing on the Waves of Change”, an appropriate title as he urged us to let go of trying to control change, and instead try to understand our reaction to it, and embrace it. After all, change is essential to our survival. Be flexible and know that we are all resilient to change.
Speaker #3, Aanya L described the phenomenon of “Hangry”- a combination of hunger and emotional chaos, and how to recognize it in yourself and the people around you. Hangry can control your life and make you crazy, irritable, and irrational. Aanya’s advice was to plan on tasty and nutritious snacks such as monkey balls which can be made with 5 simple ingredients
Speaker #4, Yanyan B presented “Bitcoin”, which , according to Robert Mundell 1999 Economic Nobel Prize winner Robert Mundell, was poised to be the world’s most reliable e-cash system. Nine years later, Mr. Nakamoto started Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since taken off and is having an impact on financial institutions and stocks. When you deal in bitcoins, , you do not need a third party such as a bank. You become your own bank. Yan yan has resolved to test it out and buy three shares.
Julie S. led the table topics.
Big thanks to Kathy M. for subbing for me!
What do Mauritius Island, fashion design, Vaclav Havel, Poutine and the Emerald City have in common? Me! All these ways have led me to ( drum roll...) the Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters where friends and great speakers are made! I look forward to sharing my stories with you!
