Some of Division S Council members were in Ipoh for SMK Gunung Rapat Gavel Club's Speechcraft programme on 15th August 2009.
Lead by Division S Governor, SH Lim, Asst. Division Governor (Education & Training) Johnson Tang, Asst Division Governor (Marketing) Christopher Choong and Division Webmaster Joanne Tan went for an adventure, greatly shared with the members of the Gavel Club.
The Speechcraft programme was an eye opener, the members of SMK Gunung Rapat really amazed us with their effort, their enthusiasm and their willingness to learn. In fact, they strived brilliantly as a representative of Toastmasters!
The programme, which was organized by Pak Peter, was a great effort that shows the students are indeed an avid fan of Toastmasters programme. We were presented "Ten Behaviours of An Effective Evaluator" by DTM Peter Ng and followed by a row of speech presentation and evaluations by the students themselves.
Just a sharing :
1. Show that you care
2. Suit your evaluation to the speaker
3. Learn the speaker's objectives
4. Listen actively
5. Personalize your language
6. Give positive reinforcement
7. Help the speaker become motivated
8. Evaluate the behavior - not the person
9. Nourish self esteem
10. Show the speaker how to improve
It was amazing to see how fast the Gavel Club members put their lesson into practice as they take turn to evaluate their friends, both as an assignment speaker as well as an evaluator.
Here's some of the actions :)
KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB SMK GUNUNG RAPAT GAVEL CLUB!!
