TOASTMASTERS - or how to make alive your public speech

Most schools or universities don't offer this type of training. Toastmasters does. Embarked on a journey that is greatly improving my Life. How? Listen more... evaluate others' ideas and of course formulate, express, sell my ideas and myself with poise and confidence. I became a person that more comfortable communicate by electronic mail or telephone than in person. But I never was afraid or intimidated of speaking to large or small groups, or one-to-one; that's why I felt this need - to return to myself, Creating my path through my Thoughts that are Speaking. I let Them speak! So, I started with the CC manual :) and I'm already preparing my 2nd speech out of 10 projects, each designed to develop your speeking skills one step a time. Every project builds upon what you've learned in the preceding project, so you should present the speeches in numerical order. I will begin with the "Ice Breaker" speech. Since it will be my first speech before the TM club, it will be based on a easy subject- Myself. And in the subsequent spechees I'll learn the importance of organization, speech purpose, proper word usage, body language, and vocal variety. I'll also learn how to do research, use visual aids, speak persuasively, and inspire others that is my aim in the TM club. Most of my talks are only 5 to 7 minutes long. This gives me enought time to develop my topic while still keeping club meetings to a reasonable length. I'm speaking with confidence, clarity, persuasiveness, and enthusiasm. There is also an evaluator that gives me verbal and written feedback on every speech I present. The evaluator provides a personal opinion of my talk, pointing out its strenghts and offering suggestions from improving my next speech. Evaluation have one purpose: to help me become a more effective speaker. Eventually, as I gain more experience, I'll evaluate the others' spechees. Excited I started my TM experience. I feel I learn more than just commnication skills in my club. Thank you, Gon for sharing with Me This Experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3ym8R6XGo4

Ritorno

Non giudicare chi non conosci, sentiti straniero ovunque, e prova compassione per tutti: i nostri viaggi a piedi si susseguono stagione dopo stagione, ma rimane questa morale più alta che si trae dal camminare con uno zaino in spalla, nel Levante come in Italia.

Quando si viaggia si accetta la possibilità di perdersi, così come quando ci si innamora o si ha una passione che ti prende così tanto da farti perdere l'orientamento. In un modo o in un altro alla fine ritrovi la strada di casa: diversa, più grande, con una borsa carica anche di tutto quello che hai visto e che non conoscevi prima.

Cantare, scriverecanzoni e senza alcun dubbio l'apoteosi dello sfogo, è quel trattino che manca x finire un cerchio perfetto.
VIAGGIARE è LO SteSSo :)

Striving to be a little bit better today than yesterday

My attention is focused to obtain personal development.


TO HAVE MORE THAN YOU'VE GOT, BECOME MORE THAN YOU ARE.

UNLESS YOU CHANGE HOW YOU ARE, YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

Viva la vida!

Ti criticheranno sempre, parleranno male di te e sarà difficile che incontri qualcuno al quale tu possa piacere cosi come sei! Quindi vivi, fai quello che ti dice il cuore, la vita è come un'opera di teatro, ma non ha prove iniziali: canta, balla, ridi e vivi intensamente ogni giorno della tua vita prima che l'opera finisca priva di applausi.
