Raise Your Game!


How do you raise your speaking to the next level? Come to the Circle of Gold (COG), where top-notch evaluators give feedback to Contestants.This is the brain child of our own first President of Igniters Darlene.
On April 1, 2 - Division E Evaluation Contestants Ksenija and Ellen and International Speech Contestant Diane recieved helpful mentoring and tips.

Feedback team including Trevor and Nandini shared insights to make the speeches stronger. The learning for everyone was incredible! If speakers and evaluators raise their speaking game - it's not only a win for them - but the audience too!

Division E Contest Fri April 5 - Let's cheer! Learn! Grow! Go Igniters!

Speaking Nuggets:
1) Intro - grab our attention early! You only have 15 seconds to reel us in.
2) Micro pauses - allow the audience to take into your key message. Pause. This will imprint in their memory.
3) Know your purpose - this will ground you, lessen your anxiety, and keep you focused.

How will you raise your game?! Tuesday nights at Igniters - a fun way to do it!!
