Last night's Toastmasters meeting was awesome. Themed "Unforgettable Furry Companions", we heard from members and our guest about important pets in our lives in our introductions.
We heard a dynamic speech from John S. about overcoming your fears and embracing success. This was a speech from the Better Speakers Series that John adapted to make much more engaging with stories, vocal variety, and intentional movement around the room.
Heather wowed us with her speech about the pliability of our language and gave us some surprising examples of how speech has changed in the last few years. If you missed hearing this speech, encourage Heather to do this again because awesome. :-)
Jim had a creative Table Topics about conversations on long flights in first class with famous people / characters. Very fun!
