Monday nights meeting had three prepared speakers and three very different topics.
Ela took us back to a moment when life changed in a split second. With a 12-metre wall of water coming towards her, she discovered she could run faster than she thought, her speech titled 'Change in a Split Second' left us with a bigger question… do we really need a natural disaster to wake us up?
Huw explored The 2 Parts of Public Speaking, sharing advice Morgan Freeman was once given: “Just act.” Huw’s approach is just keep turning up and doing speeches! Because public speaking isn’t just about the speaking part. It’s also about overcoming that voice in your head telling you not to do it. Sometimes you just have to get out of your own way.
Christine showed us the power of Teaching Through Story. The way we communicate sets the tone and a good story can do so much more than statistics alone. By bringing story into her teaching, she reminded us that how we share a message can be just as important as the message itself.
Three great speeches, plenty to think about, and another Monday night of learning together at Noosa Toastmaster.
