As the General Evaluator, I’d like to share with you the following:

1. The meeting was well organized:
   • thanks for the EVP of Shanghai No.1 , Jasmine and Asst. EVP of CAT Susan (me, our EVP, Emily, is not in town). The key to success is to plan and communicate with role-takers earlier (1-2 weeks before the meeting)
   • Snacks and Water (hot water in cold day is extremly welcomed) are ready, well done!
2. The role takers are experienced and well prepared, expecially:
   • TMC, Alice, is humorous as usual
3. I think the highlight of the evening is Yingdan’s training on Speech Contest
   • video of 2000 world Champion, Ed Tate, it’s very convicing and vivid
   • 3 winning points: Message (inspirational), Connection (with the audience), and Stage Performance
   • practice by LOVE (Learn, Observe, Visualize, Exceed the limit)
   • it would attract immediate and strong interest  if Yingdan could tell us why we should attend the contest in the opening

The only thing I hope we can improve is the speech evaluation. While we CAT members are proud of our critical thinking and frankly opened opinion on the speech evaluation, I do think it would be more motivated if we can:

1. point out the advantages of the speaker and the speech first because the speaker will know which skills he/she has already possessed;
2. focus on speaking skills instead of content
3. provide suggestions or Demo to show how to improve

All in all, I enjoy the meeting.
