Perceptions of Saint John by Locals and Visitors - February 8 2016

Perceptions of Saint John by Locals and Visitors  At our February 8 th meeting we again had three speeches delivered.  And three guests, two of which have joined and will start participating in our self-paced program.  People can join and begin at any point throughout the year.    One speech exercised vocal variety, one exercised use of visual aids, and one exercised interpretive reading techniques, in this case interpreting poetry.  Topics were on working with media, decisions related to visual aids, and of course a poem, in this case one from the 1800’s.

Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and Skills of Professionalism Saint John Toastmasters Monday April 14 2014 Two speeches this week;  one on Gardner's model of Multiple Intelligences and one on three skills of professionalism developed in Toastmasters (inspiring action, dealing with conflict and mentorship). The skill exercised in the first speech was choosing and using organizational techniques, and in the second speech on choosing, defining and making clear the general and specific purpose of the speech. Impromptu speaking practice was about 'flow' and how it relates to managing stress, rebounding from setbacks, occupations such as writing, managing interactions etc. We added a new member and had two guests who appear to be interested in joining the group.

kundalini yoga, heatlh mentorship and procrastination

Saint John Toastmasters Monday February 24 2014 Tonight we had four guests, the biggest turn out of guests we've seen in 2014.  We have been promoting an open house month although people can visit at any time, and new members can join at any point of the year.  The program is self-paced so when someone joins isn't material.  No semester systems in Toastmasters.  We have a program year that runs weekly from September until mid-June but people can jump in at any point. Next week the school is closed so we will be at an alternate location on Monday March 3rd - check the website for details http://saintjohn.toastmastersclubs.org/directions.html Our speeches were on the topics of health mentorship (a project on inspired word choice and description), kundalini yoga (a project on organizational techniques), and on procrastination (a project on entertaining audiences). We meet each Monday now through to mid-June at St Macs with the exception of holidays. ...
