Meet our speakers from 09.06! 🎉

🎤 1st Speaker: Bartosz () – "II Tacco - A Journey to Puglia"
💬 1st Speech Evaluator: Konrad ()

Evaluator's Feedback:
• He fulfilled the purpose of the speech quite well by telling about his trip and its schedule.
• The structure of the speech was well-prepared and quite clear with an interesting twist of seeing it from Bartosz's point of view as a pilot.
• The presentation was very informative and beautiful, it made the audience feel as if they were on a real trip to Puglia.

🎤 2nd Speaker: Madina () – "Klatka do Góry: What Fitness Taught Me About Confidence"
💬 2nd Speech Evaluator: Anna N. ()

Evaluator's Feedback:
• Madina had an incredible delivery, vocal variety and very effective body language, making a split in the end of her performance.
• She showed a significant growth on how comfortable she looks on stage and connects with the audience.
• Quite powerful message that resonates with our common goal of improving public speaking skills.

Thank you, Bartosz and Madina, for such incredible speeches! 👏

💬🦉Words of Wisdom

Last meeting we had a blast with three speakers and an interactive question of the day from our VP Education, Madina!

As the Toastmaster of the Day, Madina created an engaging activity of asking the audience to write some words of wisdom anonymously on a piece of paper and then randomly distributing them.

We heard some quite insightful quotes, inspirational mottos and even some disagreements with what was written.

It was a wonderful practice both for delivering impovisational speeches and argumenting your position. A big round of applause for Madina and this fun and engaging activity 👏

What does WORDS OF WISDOM means to you?
Is it a universal fact? Or maybe some phrase sad by an old man? 🧐

June 16th, Tuesday
🤝Networking: 5:45 pm - 6:00 pm
⏰Meeting: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

This time we had an unusual meeting: we were combining our regular official meeting with elections.

Therefore, the theme of our meeting was "Leadership" ​🦁

We explored different scenarios of leading others and decision-making not only during real-life example of our club elections, but also in hypothetical scenarios during the Table Topics session with Table Topics Master Kamelia.

It's always exciting to see former members return to our club! This time we would like to congratulate Arman, one of our newest members, who after a long break from Toastmasters decided to embark on our journey of public speaking yet again!
Taking the role of General Evaluator right after resuming his membership is not an easy task, but he did an amazing job 👏🔥
