The November 17th Seattle Sunrise meeting was another fun event.  Two guests showed up and Toastmaster Nicole lead the meeting.  The theme was “Forces of Nature”

The first speaker, Madeleine, told us How to Dazzle Any Audience Anywhere. She referred to 3 of Toastmasters’ advanced speaker manuals in her speech Speaking to Inform, Story Telling, and Persuasive Speaking. She also gave us examples from her own experience as a speaker to illustrate how each may be used to dazzle an audience.
