What We Can Learn from last CCTMC meeting |
Dear CCTMC members,
I am writing to share a few reflections I have about the club meeting last Thursday.
As I mentioned earlier, I would like to promote the culture of thinking and applying what we learn at Toastmasters to our life and career. Here are a couple of things I picked up at last meeting:
1. Give a summary at the end of our talk
In oral communications, people often only remember what you said at last. Therefore it will be helpful to have a recap (summary of key ideas or messages you have covered) in the end. This will not only leave people the impression that you can speak in an organized way, but will also make listeners remember your points deeper and longer. |

Dear members of CCTMC,
Happy New Year!
First all, I want to say ‘thank you’ to each of you for choosing to stay with CCTMC during the recent club split. As new president of CCTMC, I am grateful for your decision and I appreciate your faith and confidence in CCTMC.
At the start of a new club term (January to June 2010), I have a few messages for you...
A strong membership base
CCTMC is a club well known for its member’s quality. Although half of the members will move to CHIC club in January, we still have a highly passionate, professional, diversified, and strong membership base. |

This past Thursday, Dec. 17th, I delivered the speech #5 of my Advanced Humorously Speaking Manually. I completed this fun manual in a short 8 weeks span. Ever since I entered and lost the humorous speech contest in Fall of 2008, I began to take interest in enhancing the humor in my speeches, and slowly becoming more analytical with process of making people laugh. But it is during these 8 weeks of writing hundreds of punch lines and failing in half of them, that I have begun to grasp some of the basics of developing humor. In this article, I will elaborate on one of my key reflections. |

Some of us want to improve our public speaking skills for getting a promotion, while some of us want to use our speaking skills in our non-profit organization to make the world a better place. Whatever your reason for joining Toastmasters, you'll find in our club: - A strong learning environment based on high quality evaluations, trainings and pro-active mentorship
