TDK talks TM Blog

I begin this show with a bit of real life humor I had the pleasure of experiencing centering around “first impressions”.

I begin by discussing Gary’s VIEWPOINT article, entitled, “Creating Your Legacy of Leadership”. It gives us a chance to consider what legacy really is.

My “FEATURE ARTICLE” I talk about being the General Evaluator (or GE) at your Toastmasters club meeting. I couldn’t resist as my role as GE at my home club meeting last week resulted in me making a fundamental blunder. So I thought, “To redeem myself, why don’t I do a show around it”, and so I did. Hopefully my experience can assist other members at rounding out how they perform when they are the GE.

For the “TIP IF THE SHOW” I point members to an excellent toastmaster website I discovered full of resource and tracking charts. There is so much there I still haven’t perused it all. Maybe you will be luckier. Check out http://www.t82.org by going into “MEMBERS ENTER HERE” ( I found out it means Toastmaster member, NOT District 82 member). It is the District 82 website of India / Sri-Lanka.

In “OF WORTHY MENTION“ I hilite 1 article from the November issue of TOASTMASTER magazine. ” HOW A HUNTER CAPTURED HIS GAME” introduces us to this years “World Championship of Public Speaking” (WCPS). Reading this article several times, I already want to buy the video proceedings from the Convention just passed at Mashantucket, Connecticut.

Hope you enjoy the show! Remember, feedback and discussion is always welcome here!
