For the 12/11 meeting, Toastmaster Steven decided to have a meeting without a theme, that’s right Themeless.
Sergeant at Arms Bill Scott shared with us zoom etiquette rules. Quote of the day was:
“The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.”
Word of the day, presented by Grammarian Petar was:
bodacious, excellent, admirable, or attractive.
Example: “the restaurant serves bodacious grilled lobster”.
Jovica was in charge of timing speakers, impromptu speeches and evaluators.
Our three speakers for the day were:
Joseph presenting stories to demonstrate communication styles in a 5 to 7 minutes speech, where he talked about the main problem of communication being the illusion that it has taken place.
Jamie presenting a 5 to 7 minutes speech titled “Wanderlust for Thoughtful Travel”, inviting us to travel and bring back the greatest souvenir of all, a broader perspective.
Isabella presenting a 5 to 7 minutes speech titled “What I learned from evaluator”, where she shared points to look for when being a speech evaluator.
Impromptu Table Topics Master of the day Saurabh asked interesting questions to elicit 1 to 2 minutes speeches:
– Jovica – imagine you received 1 million dollars, how would you spend it?
– Cris – if you have an option to go to the past or the future what would you choose and why?
– Petar – what’s the most sensible thing you have heard someone saying?
– Steven – what’s a belief that you hold with which many people would disagree?
– Traci – what is number one motivator in your life right now?
Evaluators Sarah, Bill and Paula evaluated our speakers following the sandwich approach: what you did well, areas of improvement, what you did well.
Come join us and listen to interesting speeches in Seattle here at Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters!
