Ready . . . Set . . . .

Following are the speaking opportunities available to all members if they’re up for it!

·        

·         A chairman for each meeting, who brings a wise quote or saying to open the meeting.

·         One person each meeting to speak for 3-5 mins to ‘Great Speeches of Our Time’. 

·         One person to facilitate ‘Table Talk’ – this is an extension of the ‘point of view’ concept.  We will be taking this skill further by pretending we are expressing a point of view in the board/meeting room or around a dinner table

·         All members to speak on 2 occasions – ‘The Getting of Wisdom’, and ‘The 7 Wonders of the World’

·         Symposium speakers for ‘The Good Life’ (from a global perspective).  Q & A to follow.

·         Debate speakers x 6 – ‘Australia Should Become a Republic Nation’.

·         Impromptu Speaking Competition

·         Follow-up 5 min speeches to follow our 3 X 10 minute speakers – titles are ‘Jackanory’, ‘Big Apple’, and ‘Behind the Words’

·         Impromptu Votes of Thanks – I’ll provide a proforma to guide you, with the aim that you will be able to do it without notes.

If this seems overwhelming, remember, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do!  I’m just creating the opportunities for you to hone your confidence and presentation skills.
