?? An Inspiring Evening at Texas Tech Talk Toastmasters Club! ?? Julia Yuan kicked off tonight's meeting, themed "Speedy or Steady," and took us on a thought-provoking journey exploring the balance between moving fast and staying steady in our personal and professional lives. The Word of the Day, "Ingenious," perfectly embodied the creativity and resourcefulness displayed by our amazing speakers and role players. ?? Highlights from the Meeting: ?? Roger Luo PM3 delivered a masterclass on "Learning in Managing a Difficult Audience" under the Presentation Mastery Pathway. His speech not only provided practical strategies but also demonstrated a calm and ingenious approach to handling challenging interactions—a valuable skill for any leader! ?? The Table Topics session, 5 Skills for the Future, Creativity, Curiosity, Courage, Compassion, and Communication, led by?Jennifer Hoch,?DTM, was entertaining and enlightening. Participants, Yujun Liang, Ben Liang, and Eve Meng, were challenged to deliver one—to two-minute impromptu talks on topics that kept everyone on their toes. From spontaneous humor to deep reflections, each response was a testament to the power of thinking quickly and speaking clearly. ?? Connie Luan PM2 took charge of the General Evaluation session, offering insightful feedback that helped everyone improve. The evaluation segment at Toastmasters is truly where growth happens, and Connie made sure we all left with actionable takeaways. ??? Our supporting roles played a crucial part in the meeting’s success: Glen Dian Fan EH2, as the Ah-Counter, diligently noted filler words and verbal pauses, helping us refine our speech clarity. Grace Ding TC4, PM5, as the Posture Monitor, provided valuable feedback on body language and stage presence. Ben Liang PM3, as the Timer, kept everyone on track, showcasing the importance of effective time management. Nathan Currie, our Grammarian, introduced the Word of the Day, “ingenious,” and highlighted exceptional and improvable uses of language throughout the meeting. ?? Key Takeaways: Embrace both speed and steadiness in your approach—there’s value in knowing when to push forward and when to hold steady. The importance of providing constructive feedback—a cornerstone of our club’s mission to empower members to develop their communication and leadership skills. ?? Gratitude and Appreciation: A huge thank you to our Sergeant at Arms, Roger Luo, for setting a warm and welcoming tone, and to our Toastmaster of the Day, Xiang Li Justin Zhang LD3, for expertly guiding us through the agenda. ??
