Learn from the mistakes!

You can only learn from a mistake after you admit you’ve made it. As soon as you start blaming other people (or the universe itself) you distance yourself from any possible lesson. But if you courageously stand up and honestly say “This is my mistake and I am responsible” the possibilities for learning will move towards you. Admission of a mistake, even if only privately to yourself, makes learning possible by moving the focus away from blame assignment and towards understanding. Wise people admit their mistakes easily. They know progress accelerates when they do.

The last meeting of the Professional’s Toastmasters Club was on 15th March, 2012. The venue of the meeting was T2F (The Second Floor).

Toastmaster was TM Fahim and Topicmaster was TM Yasir. General Evaluator was TM Jummani and Table Topics Evaluator was TM Fahim.

The team of the General Evaluator included TM Adnan as the Timer and the Vote Counter, TM Fahim the Grammarian, TM Adnan as the Ah-Counter.

Topics assigned by Topicmaster Yasir were amazing.

Important observations were made and shared in the Evaluation session.

Winner of the Best Table Topics Award was TM Yasir and the runner up TM Adnan.

We ended up with the aim of making change to create innovative thinking 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

The next meeting of Professional Toastmasters Club is on Thursday 22nd of March 2012 at 7:00. to 9:00 at the unique venue T2F.
