Toastmasters: My Treat For You
Recently, I spoke at a workshop at the District 80 Semi-Annual convention, and was greeted with quite a surprising response. To be able to see MANY old friends and people whom I’d worked with for quite some time was, least to say, embarrassing since I’d forgotten many names.
Well, here’s a chance to see an embarrassed Stuart Tan. I’ll be running a workshop for District 80 on Evaluations and the Voice of Leadership. It’s one of those topic titles I feel is important enough for people to open up their eyes and look at.
Has your evaluation been the Voice of Leadership? That’s so important, you’ll suddenly realize that any leader worth their salt celebrates the successes in a speech and draws out the best possible in a person. How do you do that, and do you know that your words will have a long lasting impact in the lives of others?
In 2002, I had formulated a very raw approach to evaluations. It was quite messy to say the least. However, that was sufficient for me to win the District 51 Evaluation Speech Contest. I think I’ve honed that skill and ability for a long time already in different kinds of evaluations (evaluating a business, evaluating a potential employee…) and I find that to really build what the Toastmaster/Leader, we must infuse the best of evaluation skills in their speaking toolbox and their lives.
Anyhow, here’s the shortcut to the details.

This is part of my personal community contribution plan, and can only happen because I’m a Toastmaster and I want to help those who are interested in speaking better. :)
See ya!
