John Schneyer Speech 5 - Learning from Mistakes

Here is a copy of John Schneyer's Speech 5 - Learning from Mistakes

Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contests

Would you help out a friend in need?

Would you do something a little different and possibly uncomfortable if it helped you and your friends learn and grow?

Would you read the rest of this and let me know how you will help me if I promise you a piece of chocolate?


If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, then you are just who I am looking for (and if you answered ‘no’, call me and let me know what I have to do to get a ‘yes’ out of you).

Please read and get back to me.

So You Wanna Speak

Last week, Toastmaster Rando shared with us some valuable tips to help each of us have a speaking opportunity during meetings. Here is just a partial list.

• Be a backup speaker (have a speech ready)
• Speak at another club
• Volunteer for a meeting role
• Be an evaluator
• Call the Toastmaster and ask to speak
• Give your Icebreaker (these speeches are given priority)
• Ask to be a Table Topics speaker
• Speak outside the club where another TM is in attendance
  

Post a comment and add your suggestion on how we can all have a better chance at speaking and reaching our goals.
