This note is a reminder from the Toastmaster for the upcoming meeting, Paul Tanner (in case you need time to prepare a presentation). The meeting is on Thursday evening, March 27.
As this club has flexibility, the presentation can be a:
o manual speech
o presentation at work to colleagues, customer, or prospect
o any other public speaking presentation you would like to practice
According to The Seven Strategies of Master Presenters by Dr. Brad McRae and David Brooks (page 206):
Most presenters overprepare on content and underprepare on delivery. To counteract this natural tendency, … (use these) five principles for effective rehearsals:
1. Test early, test often
2. Simulate the setting and audience as closely as possible
3. Conduct dry runs
4. Test on mixed audiences
5. Look at the presentation from a fresh perspective
Please let me know whether you would like to present and receive objective feedback.
Also, let me know if you are interested in conducting a table topics session. It too can be flexible and creative, with a more workshop style focusing on speaking technique, or traditional.
Other key roles will be assigned at the meeting.
Thank you,
Paul Tanner
