Tip of the Week
Elaine, a contestant in the upcoming D42 Table Topics contest in Lethbridge, shares some valuable advice she received at Circle of Gold.
1) Warm up your brain every day before the contest, by asking yourself rapid fire questions - 3 people you admire, 3 stories, 3 pieces of advice, and so on.
2) Ask your club to email you table topics that you can practice.
3) When you see the yellow light, wrap up your speech with a message, call to action or a take away that the audience will remember.
