Creating the Speech: 11 June

Dan Smith, DTM — Fri, 29 May 2009 01:00:05 +0000

Creating a speech can be challenging. You need to come up with a topic. And you need to generate ideas about that topic. And you need to get that topic aligned with the project objectives. And then, in case you had nothing better to do, you’ll want to check that the speech that you created aligns with your personal objectives.

No wonder so few people make it to DTM.

This week, join us as our President-elect, Carlo Wolff ACB CL, explores how to Create the Speech. As well as…

TME Spike Gu ACB CL
TTM Susan Zhou DTM
Polarity Wendy Wang ACB ALB
GE Emily Minor CC ALS
IE Jenny Ni CC CL

This Thursday, 11 June, from 7pm.

12 March: Pre-contest meeting

Dan Smith, DTM — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 01:00:02 +0000

With the contest season about to being, this can feel like The Lull Before the Storm. Just before a storm hits, we can notice a period of relative calm; just before the excitement and thrills of a big day, we can experience a similar period of peacefulness.

To cope with this, we have:

Summiting Session: Dan Smith DTM – State, State, State
Speech: John C Ng CC – Thus Spoke Coach Wooden
Speech: Spike Gu ACB CL
Speech: Bill Wang ACB
TTM: Emily Minor CC ALS
IE: Delphy Chow ACS CL
Timer: Delphy Chow ACS CL

See you there.
