Meeting 912 "Speechfest"
Liz We with Flame |
President Liz We has returned from her trip overseas and got acquainted with Robert's new guide dog, Flame.
It was almost a full house with only one member absent (Missed you, Trish!) We also had three guests, Karen, Norm and Hollie.
In the wake of White Ribbon Day promoting the elimination of violence against women, Jim proposed a toast to women - that they be strong & respected & safe - and what ever age they choose to be.(not his exact words.)
Round Robin Master John S asked what word do we avoid using because we find it difficult to say or to pronounce. Some of the words mentioned were facade, pronunciation, aficionado, relevant, patina, castle, leverage, fruition, vocabulary, etc.
Annette |
Don't attempt to speak about topics you are not interested in.
Make eye contest, hold a person's gaze for a moment. Make the audience feel you are speaking directly to them.
Leave hands at your side when not gesturing.
