Speaker 1Robin—CC, “Persuade with Power; 5-7 minutes; “Life Is Just a Bowl Full of Golf Balls! Or Inspiration in a Jar”
Congratulations
to Robin on her 10th Speech, allowing us to become “President’s
Distinguished for a 11th year in a row. We have the required 9 points, but are going for a perfect 10.
Robin
spoke about an article entitiled, “The Journey to Fulfilling Your Dreams” by
Janet Grace Ortigas. It stated that
while we all want to fulfill our dreams and desires only a small per centage
actually do. She persuaded us to
prioritize our goals by examining them outside the box with, of all things, a
bowl full of golf balls, beads, and confetti-like sand. That’s Robin for you!
Speaker 3,
Sonia—CC, #3; 5-7 min.; “Weight Loss Obsession”. Sonia revealed her thought process as she was trying to lose the 20 pounds gained in her early years in college. While researching the ads for chemical solutions, diets, and exercise machines, she finally realized that the answer was balanced nutrition and exercise. She was then able to lose the 20 pounds in 1year without financially investing in diet programs, pills, or exercise gizmos.
Speaker 4:
Andrew—CC,
Icebreaker; “Life and Learning”; Andrew needs to be commended for diving into
his icebreaker. Being creative, he used
his talents to give teachers a run for their money in high school. Using his artistic ability, Andrew forged a career for 30 years as a Tatoo Artist. Though his reputation was not as a student, he is on the verge of completing his Bachelor Degree because of his appreciation of life-long learning.General Evaluator: Robin
Evaluator 1: Chandra for Robin—Robin persuaded us to keep
adding to life, never losing sight of priorities. Robin left us with visual images as she took
out her inexhaustible bag of tricks that
allowed us to see that there is always room for more in life. “The only one
stopping you is you”.
Evaluator 2: Rachel for Joe-Joe did a fabulous job of
demonstrating as he too brought out his bucket of tools. His props fully engaged his audience as they
actually experienced his speech topic.
Evaluator 3: Ian for Sonia-Sonia has great natural
potential, using very effective body language as a beginning Toastmaster. She related her journey to weight loss
experiences and research which culminated in the simple solution of balance, nutrition,
and exercise—how profound.
Evaluator 4: Rich from 1 State Street for Andrew-Rich has
an effective conversational storytelling style and a sense of humor—important
for an effective public speaker. He even
ended with a quote. After this
impressive icebreaker, he is well on his way to passing his public speaking
requirement.
