Last Tuesday we had a great online meeting ably led by James as the Toastmaster for the first time!
We had two prepared speeches by Chris on how AI will affect the way business is done in the coming years and how its something to be embraced, not feared, and by Nicole who shared with us useful techniques for managing anxiety in public speaking.
We then had two educational speeches with the forthcoming club competition in mind, Smita gave us 25 techniques to use in Humourous speeches she had gleaned from studying past winners and recent District table topics winner gave us some great advice on how to tackle table topics.
We then had a great table topics with some of our guests taking part and giving some great answers.

The next meeting on 3rd September is the Table Topics and Humourous speech contest at St Mary’s and then the next regular meeting is online on September 17th.
