Mannheim International Toastmasters Club Goals - Theme of Mannheim International Toastmasters Meeting of June 25, 2024 Our President Alexya Azhakesan open the meeting in her usual warm way. She greeted our one guest, Alex, who was here for the second time. She then invited us to a go-around, asking us to briefly mention one thing we love and one thing we hate.......a great warm-up for us all. Our Toastmaster of the Evening, Valentin, introduced the  meeting theme of goals, emphasizing that it is goals that give us direction in life. The word of the day was given by Gabi: holy grail, which means an especially important goal. Timon Kabisch told a true funny story from his childhood, where his kid brother quickly served himself all the special cookies on a plate. When Timon asked if he didn't think that the others might want some of those cookies, his brother smiled and replied: "yeah, that's why you have to be quick" 😂 For the thought of the day, Gabi told how her daughter dealt with a school challenge and reached an important goal. Timon then gave an Educational Moment. He shared three points which he learned from his last speech (which didn't go a well as he had wished). Alexya led the Table Topics with questions concerning goals. ............................................................................................... After the break we had three prepared speeches. Speaker 1 was Poorana with the  project Presentation Mastery #4-1 - Managing a Difficult Audience.  Speaker 2 was Alexya, and her project was: Visionary Communication #5-1 - Develop Your Vision - 1. Jeff was her Evaluator and praised her lively and passionate delivery. Speaker 3 was Jennifer, who gave her Icebreaker. Her Evaluator Gabi underlined how powerful her message was, and gave examples how Jennifer crossed boundaries to reach new goals. Our General Evaluator Oliver then got the reports from the Grammarian (Hannah), Ah-counter (Hannah again), and then gave his short feedback to all the roles and the meeting as a whole. Alexya announced the winners from tonight: TTs - Jeff / Eval - Jeff / best speech  - Alexya. This meeting ends the current Toastmaster year, and Alexya thanked her leadership team for their service to the club. She then named the team for the coming year and wished them well for their term. Please join us for our next meeting on July 9th (online meeting). Here is a photo of the  meeting: Best Toastmaster greetings, Jeff Gordon Mannheim Int. Toastmasters

A huge high five to the 28 Semi Finalists of the Toastmasters International #internationalspeechcontest!!! I'm so excited for all of them and know how surreal it is to hear you're through to this level of the contest! My advice? * Don't waste a second! * Act as if you'll make the finals * Write a second speech that is the message you want to share with the world * Ask for feedback and be open to change * Practice in different countries to see if your message comes across * Work with a coach / mentor * Watch previous winning speeches and see what makes the difference * Treat this like you're going to the Olympics of speaking 🏆 Most of all, embrace the privilege of feeling this pressure. Only 28 people get to feel this each year. Lean into it and let it help you deliver diamond quality speeches!

😍 Yesterday we enjoyed the evening with the theme "Inspire to Achieve" together with our colleagues and guests. Although not many of us were there due to the holidays, the exam period and the hot weather, which is perfect for outside :), we managed to organise a smooth meeting where all the important roles were covered. 😇 The meeting was opened by Andreea, the TME, who introduced the topic and challenged everyone to tell when they were last inspired and if they also managed to inspire someone. 🧠 The first speech was given by Michael May l who talked about neuroplasticity, the importance of food, sleep and exercise for our brain and reminded us the importance of this complex organ, that controls all the processes in our body. 👀 The second speech belonged to @AL, who shook us awake and made us realise how important it is to always say "yes" when an opportunity "knocks" on your door. As one quote says: "When an opportunity presents itself, don't be afraid to take it". (EK) 🌺 The Table Topics Master, Cleiton Pires, had prepared some interesting questions on the topic of the meeting and invited both members and guests to give a short speech. The guests gladly agreed to step in and overcome their fear of public speaking. 🖊 As there were only a few of us, each speaker evaluated the other's speech and gave each other valuable feedback, mentioning the strengths but also things that could be improved. 📗 The role of Timekeeper and Ah-counter was taken on by Andreea Turcu, who kept a close eye on all the speakers, taking notes on their ahs and uhms and also keeping track of the time of their speeches. The meeting ended with a positive feedback from our guests, who openly said that they would like to come again. 😊 See you next time on 11.07. More details will be announced soon.
