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

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.   Also if schools are closed for weather, our meeting is cancelled.

Golf Skills, Public Speaking Skills and Leadership Skills

I used to be a pretty good golfer scoring in the low to mid 80s quite consistently.   However, I haven’t played in three years and in the past ten years I’ve played perhaps six times. My issue is that I remember being a pretty good golfer and when I visit the course this week, I expect to play like I used to play.   I know that isn’t reasonable, but that’s the way I think.   I expect to perform like I used to perform when I golfed a couple of times each week. How does that relate to public speaking and leadership skills? It relates directly. Golf, public speaking, and leadership are all skills.   Skills require practice. The best athletes in the world practice basic skills regular...

Toastmasters Clubs Adapting During Times Of Social Distancing

In April 2020 people are living through a pandemic as the COVID-19 virus has spread around the world.  The virus spreads quickly with human contact, so many people are living with rules or strong guidance to practice social distancing, or physical distancing. I have seen and prefer the terminology physical distancing with social connecting.  This guidance means people should maintain physical distance from those other than those in your household, and holding no large gatherings, which in some locations means no more than two people. People are limiting the occasions when they leave their homes, and when they do so, must work to maintain two metres of distance between themselves and others. As a result of these physical distancing measures many businesses have closed, hopefully temporarily, or changed their methods of operation. Restaurants and coffee shops are take out only, for example, if they have remained open. Toastmasters clubs have adapted as well. We ...

Three Speeches - Saint John Toastmasters Monday January 6 2014

Saint John Toastmasters Monday January 6 2014 Tonight we had three speeches, two from experienced members, and one from a member who joined in December.    Members can join at any point of the year as the program is self-paced. It is rewarding to see new members begin to develop their skills and confidence.  The speeches were about selecting a topic for a speech, about a survey of video games, and one on a couple of leadership stories and lessons. We meet each Monday now through to mid-June at St Macs with the exception of holidays.   Also if schools are closed for weather, our meeting is cancelled. http://saintjohn.toastmastersclubs.org/directions.html
