Participation
Competition comes to Toastmasters clubs twice a year. First, the International Speech and Evaluation contests (spring), then Humorous Speech and Impromptu Speaking contests (autumn).
Many newer clubs don’t get it together enough to hold competitions, but for the Business Club Toastmasters (Frankfurt), this is our 3rd consecutive and highly successful event.
Contestant for Humorous speech was Cezar, who came dressed for business in his evening wear, black tie, white shirt. Table Topics impromptu speaking had a line up of three – Moritz, Cezar, and Natalie.
And the result are: Humorous speech: 1st Cezar
Table Topics : 1st Moritz, 2nd Natalie.
Communication
After the competitions, Ben ran an impromptu speaking training session for all participants. The format was not the usual one. Members & guests spent 5 minutes devising a story of 50 to 150 words, then we each volunteered to recount our stories to the group. As a result, every single person in the room had a speaking opportunity.
