VALUE OF CHANGE…













OUR last meeting was stunning everyone was like embracing the value of change. We must always be looking for opportunities for personal growth, to improve our skills, expand our influence, and make a greater difference in the lives of others. Fortunately, PTC took the initiative for an enchanting change where every toastmaster has enjoyed a lot.


BIG THREE:

TME: TM Maneckji

GE: TM Tauseef

TTM: DTM Fazal


What a start TM Dr. Avan the Sergeant at Arms for the evening took pledge of Toastmaster with the effective new feelings. She then called Toastmaster of the evening TM Maneckji, who griped the lectern and described an incident which has accorded due to new venue by saying ”HOT CHANGE!!!”


TME then called General Evaluator of the evening TM Tauseef, he then took control and introduced his team powerfully where TM Khalid was the timer and Grammarian, TM Maneckji was the word master, TM Dr. Avan was the Vote Counter and TM Adnan was the Ah Counter.


Table Topic Master DTM Fazal started table topic session with boom by giving a big round of applause for welcoming an energetic change. He literally ignited all toastmasters for impromptu speeches and brilliantly given topics related with theme “CHANGE”


The word of day was “CHANGE” as well, among the table topic speakers TM Khalid has said “Man does not change but the feeling does”. The word “CHANGE” used 8 to 10 times average by each speaker… bravo.


Table Topic Session evaluated by TM Adnan.


TM Dr.Avan delivered prepared speech, Remarkable Evaluation by TM Fahim.

The winner of the Prepared Speech session was TM Dr. Avan.

The winner of the Best Table Topics award was TM Fahim and the runner up TM Dr. Avan.

Significant observations were made and shared in the Evaluation session.


We ended up with the aim of making change to create innovative feelings because we all know what life skills can Toastmasters help us to develop:

ü Thinking on your feet (table topics and evaluations)

ü Listening skills (evaluation, table topics, grammarian, etc.)

ü Time management (speaker, toastmaster, general evaluator, timer)

ü Effective expression of ways for someone to improve (evaluator and general evaluator) especially helpful if you are required to give performance evaluations

ü Speaking skills in both formal and informal settings
