Do you want to know what a great meeting we had on Wednesday! 😎
We started at about 16:15, as usual, and we had a blast at testing out our new structure approach. 😉
As a corporate club, we have one hour packed with valuable lessons, tips and tricks to help us grow or inspire us to look further.
And we made the most of it! 🎉
After succesfully going through the meeting's agenda, we had the chance of enjoying a most interesting and helpful speech presented by Karolina. This was her second speech as a Toastmaster and it was "Breath, chew, record and vacuum". 🤩🥇😇
Besides keeping us interested the whole time and interacting with us through questions, she gave us 4 valuable tips to put into practice while preparing for our own future speech experience. 📝🧘♀️🍪🔊
First and the most important, of course, would be to prepare the speech properly. Document your ideas, organise them accordingly and RECORD yourself while reharsing the speech. But the other 3 where not exactly the first things to come to mind, however logical they did prove to be by the end of it. Breathing, chewing movement (you don't chew/eat anything when you are in danger and want either run from or fight with it) and speaking loud enough to cover the noise of the vacuum cleaner (you want to be heard by those tucked in the back) are suggestions that make perfect sense, actually. Thank you, Karolina! 🎉
The Table Topics were a great succes, thanks to our valuable and experienced Toastmaster, Federico. 😎 With his great improvisation skills he's already famous for, we ended up having impromptu speeches on surprising colour-related topics, such as Viraj's challenge to present the Green of his country, or Monika's challenge of presenting the story behind the Red of her hair, Karolina's challenge of the Blue of the Avatar and My challenge with the Black from Dracula's country. 💚❤💙🖤
We then had the third part of the meeting, consisting of the much sought after feedback that confirms the strong points of the speaker and, most importanly, the points where they can improve. 🤓
Closing with general feedback, planning the agenda for the next meeting and having a laugh was the perfect atmosphere for the photo we present in this closing. 🤩
Special thanks to Giordano, our Mascot!⛄
Both him and we are waiting for as many of you as you wish to take part in our next meeting! 🎭⛄📆
