They had some fun with "continue the story" session. It was really Fun :D
Note from Organizing Chai Goh Guat Mui,ACB,CL
On a fine Saturday morning in June 2009,a few of our club members went back to school...
Not as students,not as teachers but on a Toastmasters mission.Yes indeed we were all set to embark on a journey of sharing YLP with a group of bright and receptive teenaged boys and girls (secondary 3 to 5)-students of MHS.
The YLP is a basic training programme for the students to experience Communication & Leadership skills mainly in these areas:
Overcome nervousness when speaking before an audience
Organize thoughts and ideas for better communication and speech delivery
Develop better listening skills
To learn to offer advice in a relevant and tactful manner
To participate in discussions and meetings as leaders and team players
Everyone had loads of fun .The sessions included slide presentations,demo speakers ,demo evaluators,prepared speeches,video clips,lively songs,creative story telling ,impromptu speaking and mindmapping teamwork.
The whole event ended with a magical transformation.Yes the students did an incredible ‘showcase your skills’ session for parents and teachers and our toastmasters.The prepared speech and table topics contests were of a commendable standard after just about 2 days of training.Everyone had a nostalgic moment singing the goodbye songs at the close.Thank you Kamala –You made it happen!
As YLP coordinator I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the school MHS especially
Mr.Low Yang Cheng and Mr.Teo Heow Hong and to the following Toastmasters from our club:
1.DTM Audrey for linking us to the school
2.ACS,CL Kamala Nair who showed all how to enjoy learning in a fun way
3.ATMB Jeffery Lee for his knowledge sharing
4.CTM,CL Joshua Ling for his diligent presentation and supportive presence
5.CC,CL Mak Chee Kin for his initiating the first ice breaker session
6.TM William Tay for his well prepared ice breaker demo and his creative story telling session besides all his other SAA and time keeper roles.
7.CC Henry Goh for his video recording and photography
8.CC Melvin Chan for assisting Henry Goh
Without anyone of the above,the project could not have been such a resounding success.
I appreciate all your time and effort contribution for the betterment of the club.
To use a cliché ,”ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL”.
Your Immediate Past President (wef 1st July 2009),
