A simple tale, told well. With feedback from our incredibly supportive members, you can learn to do this, to craft a speech, taken from what might be considered a mundane part of your life, and make it shine. By using all the tools available… humour, timing, pauses, voice modulation and a smile, you can capture an audience!

We had a super meeting this week… lots of fun and plenty to celebrate! The theme was Crazy Hat Day… so our chair Richard rose to the occasion by wearing three! There were two Triple Crown awards to present… one to the fabulous Margaret Wong, and the other to Janice Lawler-Cooper! We’re so proud of these ladies And we enjoyed two awesome speeches... our newest member, Scott gave an insightful look into his life; his vulnerability and humour captured our hearts! And Margaret’s level 4 speech from the Successful Club Series about Toastmasters' Educational Program was perfect timing as it triggered two guests to sign up right away!

We all have our favourite moves, songs and books, but do you have a favourite speech? Every now and again, we'll hear a gem in our own club meeting. It's only after it's done that we realize... "wow, we should have recorded that!" Of course, we would never do that... at least not without the speaker's permission. Here's one from 9 years ago that you will likely relate to. We are sure it will make you laugh!.
