I attended the J41 Evaluation and International speech contest at SAIT. If you didn't attend you missed out on a very enjoyable event. It was great having Glen, Marvin and Margaret there Igniting Spirits in their contest roles.
Congratulations to Nandini our
Club President, who won the International speech contest. She presented
poised (with her beautiful smile) and confident. She owned the stage and
the passion flowed throughout her speech about - Not Just Yet! There were 5 other contestants who did really well too, but I knew Nandini was the winner. Way to go girl!
Way to Go! Chris G. our VP of Public Relations, who was flashing a suntan from his trip to California, presented his Evaluation
for the test speaker. The test speaker only joined Toastmasters four months ago - brave soul. Chris
did a very good job - outlining the method of his evaluation and shared strengths and helpful tips for the speaker to improve. He said he was very nervous but he didn't appear to be. He came in 3rd out of 6 Evaluators. Congratulations Chris!
It is always nice to sit back and enjoy others
speaking. I sat beside two contestants(whom I didn't know were speaking)and they didn't appear the least bit nervous. I was surprised when they got up and spoke. Toastmasters can really help members learn ways to be more confident. Practice makes perfect!
You will have to plan to attend next time. There are many opportunities for contestants, judges, and contest official to keep learning. Division J Contest is on April 10. Go Igniters!
