Your first Toastmasters meeting - Part 3

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

Part 3 in our orientation to a Toastmasters meeting is the evaluation of speeches.

Members are assigned to observe and offer feedback on the impromptu (Table Topics) and prepared speeches. Evaluation helps everyone develop their skills - the speakers, evaluators, other members and guests.

The "traditional" model for evaluating a Toastmasters speech is "CRC" - offer a "Commendation" (positive comment), a "Recommendation" (suggestion for improvement), then another commendation. Our new Pathways Learning Experience offers a revised model - mention something the speaker excelled at, something they may want to work on and offer them a challenge for future projects.

We can be learners and teachers - it's at the heart of the Toastmasters experience.

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
