Why Is Overrated. How Is Everything. Well, Almost!

(Please bear in mind that this blog script is the one I used to perform this in front of live audience. ) Are you ready for some magic? This is a simple A4 sized paper. Can anyone pass their entire body through this piece of paper?  Well, most of you can't and the ones who can I'm not going to let them do that. If you said you can't, Why can't you?  Do you want to learn how you could do that? --Yes! Let's come back to this activity. Can you make some noise. You have to flip this paper into a half on the long edge and use a scissor to cut it like that. Onc

How to improve your impromptu speech sessions

Today, I came across an old video of mine. This is about 2 years old. Now the funny thing about old photos or videos is that no matter how much you hated the way you looked or spoke back then, when you watch them after a few years you simply love them. It brings smiles and laughs and you are taken back in time which you cherish. In this video, I was telling small children how to speak when given any topic. I had myself forgotten all this information, but after watching it I felt that I did talk sense. I am learning from my own self about the tricks. Especially, I liked

How is Ah-Counter Role Performed in Toastmasters?

There is a famous quote by Management thinker Peter Drucker which says that If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.  Ah counter in a Toastmaster's meeting is a person who keeps a measure of the unnecessary words or long pauses in a speech. https://youtu.be/ILTKt3wqW48 Unnecessary words could be crutch words, filler sounds or repetitions. Crutch words are words used to fill the gap while the speaker is thinking common ones being You know, So, Basically and Like. Filler sounds are sounds such as ah, um and er. Repetitions are either repeated words o

How To Prepare a Script For A Speech?

As someone who has delivered short speeches for Toastmasters to full day workshops, I have come to realize this trick mostly through my experience. The most critical part of preparing the content is same regardless of whether it is a 5-7 minutes speech or a 2 hour presentation or even a full day workshop. I'll come to what that is, but let me first tell you what it isn't. It's not researching the content. As a matter of fact, we can get into an endless research trap which is to be avoided. Just to give an idea - If you have an hour to prepare the script, don't spend more

How to Use Your Brain To Your Advantage?

I had given this speech as part of my Toastmasters project. Had titled it 2 States, which is a famous Bollywood movie starring Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor. However, this speech had got nothing to do with the movie or the border between states. Instead, it was about something far more important - Our brains. That's that beautiful instrument which we are meant to use for our entire life, but unfortunately hardly does anyone ever teach us about how to use it properly, isn't it? Hopefully this video will have some answers. https://youtu.be/19Qx9U857FM Brain always swin

How is Pathways an Extension of Traditional Manuals

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths - Walt Disney With the advent of Pathways in May 2018, Toastmasters gave us all an opportunity to walk down a new path. Refer to this article that focuses on the way Pathways was developed. Contrary to the beliefs of some, Pathways, is actually an advanced extension of the legacy manuals themselves. Excerpts and Summary of the article: In 2010, the Toastmasters Board of Directors crafted a five-year strategic plan that laid out the goals
