Menlo Park Toastmasters

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! 🎃👻🙃 See you all again next Tuesday, same place, same time!

Missed our meeting last Tuesday? Our Table Topic was "When you were 7 years old...", and here are some of the questions:

- How would you plan your birthday party?
- How would you annoy your elder sister?
- What did you do when you had to eat the green veggies that you hated?

Yes, our questions are mostly light hearted and relatable. We can have fun while practicing impromptu public speaking too! 😉🤣🙃

Check out the impressive speech by the recently crowned 2018 Toastmasters International World Champion of the Public Speaking and the 7 speaking tips she shared.

7 Critical Public Speaking Tips (Source: The 'World Champion of Public Speaking,' Who Beat 30,000 People for the Title) Her 7-minute speech ran 900 words. And she totally killed it.

Thank you Lynn Kirkham from Yes, You Can Speak for the "Impromptu Speaking Made Easy" workshop last night! Glad that every one of us had the opportunity to participate and receive our personalized takeaway from the session.

Spotted this at Bethany Lutheran Church’s notice board. 🤓
