Last night, we were privileged to watch Spike Gu ACB deliver his tenth advanced speech. This was a team technical presentation in which he worked with three other people – a demanding task at the best of times, but one that he pulled together well.
It’s great to see someone with talent practising and refining their skills so that they can demonstrate their abilities when it counts.
Congratulations, Spike!
Other highlights included a speech from the Public Relations Manual from Chris Haynes CC, a great job as Toastmaster from Bill Wang ACB, and Southbank (Brisbane, Australia) Toastmaster Andrew Smith delivering a smooth and integrated Table Topics session.
Our training was on eye contact. In this, Daniel Smith DTM emphasised the need to:
- Project yourself
- Be present, and to
- Connect with the Purpose of your speech
Our next meeting is in two weeks…
