January is now gone but February started with a bang on Tuesday! Our Toastmaster of the evening was Kohinoor from our closely associated club of Connected Speakers London. Operating our unique timing light was Daniela doing the time management project of her Competent Leadership manual. The tempo of the evening escalated by one notch with Terry as our grammarian of the evening. Completing the team of functionary, was our glamorous Rosie as vote counter.
Club President’s Florian Bay opened the speeches with the vision speech from the High Performance Leadership manual. London Victorians journey only began recently, but the vision for the club is anything but unambitious! Club secretary Ayokunle took up the stage with a journey through the various stages of his quest for happiness. A roast of our area 6 governor George that lives and breathes Toastmasters followed up aptly delivered by Fahad. Sergey concluded the first part of the meeting with an appeal to take control of our destinies and to open up the doors that pop up in our lives. Using the example of a former once hesitant Toastmaster that became world champion of public speaking five years later.
A tough act to evaluate, but club sponsor Warren, followed up by Julia, Daniela and Simon rose to the challenge to deliver constructive evaluations. Our table topics session was chaired by Ross (first time table topics master – congratulations!) using a variety of improvisation techniques using both coins “what happened to you in the year this coin was struck” or unusual words like albertpolis. Assistant division B governor Neil Coleman closed the evening with his general evaluation.
