GE Report by Suhail Nasir (China National Champion Of Public Speaking 2008)

Let me start with the President Opening. We can see that Joe was well prepared and his energetic words caught our attention immediately, which was very good, because usually people don’t know what to talk about in the first 1 to 2 minutes, just wasting some time on the stage. Joe didn’t talk about any nonsense and all his words were related to the theme of tonight’s meeting, “challenge”!

Our timer, Ben Dai was very diligent. He was assigned with the role the last minute before the meeting but he still took it seriously. He also facilitated some speakers very well to control the time by showing them the cards but not disturbing them.

Ah counter Sophia Yan also did a very good job. Also assigned with task in the last minute, but from her precise report, we can see she didn’t ignore any minute of the whole meeting.

Our Grammarian was very professional and she gave us a wonderful word. One thing I want to mention about is that I also used the word of the day “conquer”, but I didn’t think you count it. Listening is very important. As a leader, you should pay attention to each single word, because no one is happy to be neglected.

Warming up is my favorite session. Brad Zhang did it in a unique way. One observation, may be that “Obama” is too popular, so it’s easy for people to guess. Next time, I think you can choose a not-that-popular person such as Suhail. J

The table topics session was very exciting. It’s not hard to see that Xiaoxiao prepared those questions very well. As a leader, you must make everything prepared in advance. One thing I want to point out is that a leader is as a boss of a restaurant. No matter what kinds of people coming to your restaurant, all you want to do is to make everything go smoothly. The same theory for Table topic masters, when you’re holding the whole session, you’re responsible for its going smoothly. You should avoid troubles.

I’m so surprised by the three individual evaluators. Each of you gave the evaluation according to the objective of the speech, which was well-targeted. A bad example is that when some one is giving an evaluation for a C2 speech, he also talks about body language or vocal variety. I’m happy I didn’t see it tonight. Because as a leader, you should clearly know what your target is and what is most needed, then you can make it achieved. One suggestion to you all is that try not using notes when you’re giving evaluation on the stage!

I always leave the best in the last. I like the performance of our TME, Peter, very much. You made everything under control. You used some jokes to connect one part with another. I’m still immersed in your made-up “Brad Peter”!

2009年6月6日,Amazing Friday俱乐部在四川北路群众影剧院举办了一场500人共同参加的”闯与创”Toastmasters Meeting,这场Meeting创下了Toastmasters历史上参与人数的纪录. 以Meeting参与人数众多且会员多才多艺而出名的PSTMC当然也要在这场会议中好好表现一番.

受到AF俱乐部的邀请,PSTMC与AFTMC合作,在本次会议中呈现了一个爆笑,幽默,讽刺现实,立意深刻的小品.剧中,Edgar Gong, Xiaoxiao Sun, Peter Wan, Joe He, Jessica Yao以及Emma Li都有出色的表现.Joe He与Jessica Yao饰演一对情侣.Jessica Yao背的蛇皮袋上写着两个很大的字:”LV”.

Roawin Law的一句:”为了中华民族的崛起,我们宁愿加班,我们宁愿做外企的熊猫!”让她成为了整场比赛的最佳辩手.
图为Roawin获得最佳辩手后,激动得和队友们拥抱.

除了小品和辩论赛的精彩表现,PSTMC的Jessica Yao,作为Toastmasters全国中文演讲比赛的冠军,给大家献上了她的获奖作品<征服自己>.身穿运动服,背着运动包的 Jessica Yao用她丰富的body language和vocal variety等一系列演讲技巧以及真情实感告诉我们,”林妹妹也可以跑马拉松.让我们征服自己就可以创造一切可能!”

本次活动,PSTMC的会员们给与了AFTMC很大的支持与帮助,AF本次的Special Meeting也获得了圆满成功.

上周六，应Lighthouse Toastmasters邀请，到其俱乐部分享了15分钟关于PPT设计的内容。
基本内容和之前在北京 convention上是一样的。不过因为时间少了一半，且在北京时现场播放的案例（PPT+视频）占据的时间有些小多，所以这次把结构调整了一下，内容 也做了删减。还要特别感谢Yingdan在我的Twitter上获知我要做分享后，特别给我发来短信，给了我很多内容设计方面的建议。

1.案例分析
这部分我拿到了之前一个星期LH搞2周年庆的PPT，因为用他们自己的案例，会感觉比较亲切。

原始页面

小小的版本。我的思路是，既然是lighthouse，最好能找一个质量不错的图出来，全屏。

当然，也可以用一些生日的元素，比如蜡烛。：）

这个页面是一首诗的预告，现场就是四个人拿着本子念诗的过程，诗很长很长。

我的建议是不妨在诗歌的每个部分，放一张PPT。这样可以增加观众的兴趣。

于是我就做了一张封面，给每个章节做了一张PPT，还配上了音乐，播放了一下。：）

2.7个习惯

这次所用的7个习惯，没有做更改，时间的关系也没有在每个习惯后面加案例。点这里查看之前所用完整版7个习惯
不过在全部7个习惯讲完之后，我加了一个回顾的页面，并且告知大家，若无法做到7个习惯，有两个是我觉得最关键的，那就是箭头所指的。

3.Toastmasters PPT欣赏
点这里查看

因为时刻留意Timer的提示，所以正好用了15分钟就讲完了。

整体感觉比在北京convention上面自然，内容设计也相对合理。

再一次体会到Toastmasters是一个learn by doing的地方，且失败也没有关系，因为下一次会失败得漂亮一点，越来越好！
