How can a mentee reap the benefits of the Toastmasters Mentorship program?

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 evaluate a speech?

If you are a beginner in toastmasters/gavels remember there is never a end of learning and one of the important parts is evaluation. Lets get to the "HOW" you should always follow the CRC approach C- commendation (you can start your evaluation was nice/great/bronzer/amazing) speak that what did the speaker tell in his speech.

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.

How to Assign Club Proxy for Toastmasters

This is an every year affair and Toastmasters know they have to keep coming back to it. It's best therefore to make a note it here especially if you're an Area Director or Club President. For assigning the club proxy, the following flyer explains the steps very well. It's either for the club President or Secretary to login and start from Step 1 in the image. Idea in normal situations is to give the District Director the authority to act as proxy unless in the rare circumstance that you are attending the meeting and know of the candidates for voting. Until next time

How To Give A Useful Speech Evaluation

I have already covered this in a previous blog but just to test it out, I applied this technique in the last club meeting. Voila, it worked, and I won not only the Best Evaluator among four extremely talented evaluators but also the table topics. Well, that's because the table topics was different this time. Our VP Education was the Table Topics master and she's an innovator. So, she played a three minute Priyanka Chopra speech, which she then asked the Table Topics Speaker's to evaluate, based on her selected areas such as Share one Commendation, a Recommendation, and Summ

How To Structure an Evaluation Contest Speech

What's most important as an evaluator is to have an evaluation framework ready. It could be different for you and me, and it could be different even for you at different occasions. But the main point is to have a framework ready. As a matter of fact, the same thing applies to impromptu (Table Topic) speeches as well. If you have that you could use your initial 15-20 seconds to put the topic in that framework, before giving it a go. While one can simply say that the Beginning, Body and Close (BBC) is already there, then why does one need anything else. Well, the reason is th
