Northgate Sunrise kicked off the New Year with energy and two new guests (Nicole B. and Steve ). A total of 12 people were in attendance and Lisa led the meeting using the theme “Going to Africa!” Here are the highlights:
- Lisa opened the meeting as emcee by reflecting on her travels to Africa and highlighted some resources she had found that document what Africa was like prior to being settled by the Europeans.
- Tammy gave her third speech titled “Resolve to Exercise”. She identified exercise as being a common New Year’s resolution and outlined 5 ways that anyone can more easily achieve their goal of exercising more.
- Andrew delivered his second speech. He spoke on the topic of how to search for the perfect job. Andrew pointed out that the most successful job searches start by identifying what characteristics about a job we don’t consider “work”.
- Our third speaker was Mary who delivered her 3rd speech to the club. The content of the speech was similar to a speech she had given before, however she incorporated prior feedback. The results were amazing. She delivered an engaging speech that painted colorful imagery of how children learn in a kindergarten class.
- Our table topics winner was Nagisa who revealed to the club that she has a reputation for over-packing when she travels abroad.
- Nicole C., Amara and Ray provided feedback to our speakers. Nagisa and Sonja helped as Timer and Ah Counter respectively, keeping us as on-time and as ah-free as possible. Dave evaluated the meeting as a whole and called all speakers to include “hook” in the introduction of their speech – something that immediately makes the speech about the audience.
The next meeting is scheduled for January 21.
