👉Do you often say that the meeting / party / time was great even if it wasn't? 😱 I bet you do!!! We all do it sometimes.😋
🚩Well, after Infosys Toastmasters meetings we do not have to lie 😊 because all our meeting are dynamic🚄, energetic🔥and valuable ✔for all participants. Yesterday, Angelika prepared a speech from the Competent Communicator Project 4 titled "BODY LANGUAGE". She impressed us all by the content preparation and a way of delivery⬆️. Nevertheless, there is always sth we can improve➡️. Klaudia's feedback about the Speech as well as the whole meeting was (according to the club members) really constructive⏩. And that is great because such feedback shows us areas for improvement and motivates us to develop. Every meeting is also a chance to leave the comfort zone🆓️. Viraj created such an opportunity for us as a Table Topic Master. We did not expect to be asked about such things (😇 secrets). Our 🕓 Timer Nicoleta shared detailed 📊report which helped us to be aware of the minutes in our presentations. Pity that the role finished with the 🔚 of the meeting, because after that we could not stop talking. That is why we are going to meet today in a bit of an informal setting 🥤🍟🍔 to have fun 🎶 and continue our club journey 🚀. Would you like to hear more? Stay tuned 🙃

Aren't you curious how our meetings are going?

And yet again, we have made it 😊 Another Toastmasters Infosys meeting was concluded with a round of applause 🙌 for Viraj - our new member - who, in his personal, informative and imaginative ice-breaker speech, dived into his "Travel Hiccups" 🀼🛫
🙌 for our increadibly creative Table Topics speakers, who, without any preparation whatsover, gave insightful and inspiring answers to the pretty crazy questions they were given 🏆
🙌 for all gathered members for their positive energy and continuous support 🎉

If you feel that our meetings could be a place for you to either face your fears of public speaking or develop you skills (or both and more 😉), join us at our next meeting this Wednesday, 20th Feb in the Aquarium small room 🙋😄

Hope to see you there!

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! 🎭⛄📆

Do you know that each project we prepare in TM journey brings us one step closer to our best speech ever? That's why we keep trying and expecting feedback. Last Monday we had many opportunities for both.

Our 1 Speaker🎙Karolina🎙 presented a lot of her crazy side of mind.📍 Ania📍 evaluated the speech and confirmed that the Icebreaker was delivered with a very good English level. Karolina 🔊 we are waiting with impatience for your next project 🤗
Our 2 Speaker🎙Anastasia🎙impressed us involving 4 Riders of Apocalypse into human's relationships. We will not give you details neither a summary, cause it should be seen only together with📍Hanen's📍 great evaluation, so we hope you will not miss another chance :)
Our 3 Speaker🎙Federico🎙 talked about the heroes and showed us how to fall 🙃 and how not to fall dawn 😉 His speech was evaluated by 📍Radek📍 our Special Guest of the Evening.
Feedback is not about content only but also about the time, so🚦 Rafał 🚦: chapeau bas for your details !!!
Thank you Klaudia for conducting ⁉️TableTopic session⁉️ and Nicoleta for your tasty 🍩Chocolate🍪 role. You made the winners day (with you on the photo👇). But most of all THANK YOU ❤ Angelika ❤for being such a wonderful, 💝 warm and very well prepared Toastmaster of the Day. We hope that our guest will come back to us next week. 🤗

Another perfect Monday evening 🤗🐝
Today,dinner for our brain and almas: a bowl of team work as appetizer, a slice of creativity as main dish and a special speaker guest for desert at a brand new Toastmasters meeting❣️

🙏🏿and we did it!
Season 1 - speech marathon - 'Voice your thoughts' was a success as usual!!! Yet more emotional and with higher ambition our star of the evening 🏅Perla took the bravest step and magically handled the 7th speech project. She bravely shared an amazing story about the fight agains breast cancer and facts about the desasease. Klaudia's speech shaped an innocent example about self trust and brave young courage resulting in a 'dream come true' and yet last but not least Ania, our amazing rookie, gave her ice-breaker in an impressive structure spicing it up with her confidence and mesmerizing presence✨
The challenging speeches were evaluated by Angelika, Nicoleta and Tuomas
👩🏼‍⚖️ Our GE of the day Anastasia sprinkled her constructive and warm feedback together with our ' volunteers' and guests of the day: Timmer Beata ⏱ and Ah-counter Anna🥁
A marathon not only of speeches, but as well of emotions and all this happened under the TM's guidance Alma 👩🏻‍🏫
Can't wait for season 2️⃣
❣️See you next Monday, with a surprise guest 🤗
