This week, we will be welcoming back our EVP, Emily Minor ACB ALS, as TME and our previous EVP, Daniel Smith DTM to deliver our Summitting Session on Speaking with Metaphor.
Throughout the world, metaphors are powerful tools for conveying meaning and moving audiences. How well are you using metaphors now? In this 20 minute session we will learn from NLP Trainer and experienced speaker Daniel Smith how we can make metaphors work for us in our speaking.
Also starring this week we have speeches from:
Susan Zhou DTM delivering her C4, evaluated by Jenny Ni CC CL
KC Loh delivering her A7, evaluated by Aky CC
Carlo Wolff ACB ALB delivering his A16, evaluated by Joyce Hu CC CL
Table Topics will be led by Minnie Li and our General Evaluator will be Andrew Wong
Due to October Holiday, we will hold the next CAT meeting on October 15th.
K. Beate Richter DTM will lead our Summitting Session on Coaching: Your support system towards success
Speech: John Ng CC
Speech: Joyce Hu CC CL Hakka (A7 from Speaking to Inform)
Super Table Topics: Raf Verheyen
TME – Dan Smith DTM
TTM – Susan Zhou DTM
GE – Spike Gu ACB CL
Spike Gu, as TME, will lead us in our meeting themed “Organization.”
How to organize your speech is one of the first things we learn from our Competent Communicator manual. But when we need to speak off-the-cuff, how do we organize our thoughts with just a moments notice? Think of the message you want to get across and go from there! Members can practice this skill during our SUPER table topics session.
We’ll have our second round of Super Table Topics, where a member chooses five topics they are familiar with, and their evaluator chooses one of the five topics for the speaker to give a 5-7 minutes speech on. Daniel Smith, Joyce Hu and Carlo Wolff will practice their impromptu speaking skills.
Susan Zhou’s speech is titled “Go Beyond Shenzen Convention” and guest speaker Alice Yan will give her humorous contest speech “My Love My Toastmasters”.
The evaluation team of Jenny Ni, and Friedhelm Maur will be led by General Evaluator Daniel Smith.
In a little over three hours on Sunday afternoon, more than 100 Shanghai Toastmasters were treated to a valuable Education Day. We were led most eloquently by David Yang CC (Microsoft No. 1) and Jackie Zhao CC (Lighthouse), our hosts who provided engaging interactions through the afternoon while linking the various sessions.
You will find videos from parts of the session here.
