This show is specifically directed to the NON-Toastmaster. I explain what Toastmastering is all about and hilite the many attributes being a Toastmaster helps to develop and hone. Everybody joins and goes thru Toastmasters working on different skill sets which they realize is important to them and needs improving.
I follow with my traditional, “Tip of the Show”.
In this episode of “Of Worthy Mention” I discuss the article on Page 8 of the February 2010 TOASTMASTER mag, “Leadership Lessons from Olympic Athletes“. Seeing that the 2010 Winter Games from Whistler, British Columbia, Canada were closing off their 17 day spectacle, I found it fitting to talk about this article.
I wrap up the show emphasizing that my previous Show #014 (below) covered our TLI of Jan/2010 which had for its’ theme, the same theme of these 2010 Winter Olympics, “Do You Believe?”. I congratulate ALL athletes who competed at these 2010 Winter Games as they are ALL winners getting that far to compete against the “Best in the World”.
Till next time !

In this show my feature is on the role of the General Evaluator (or GE) in a Toastmasters club meeting. I reflect on my recent role of GE at my home club meeting and explain what went wrong. I try to pass forward the tips I learnt along with some new perspective of the General Evaluator role, hoping others will consider this along with their own style of being the General Evaluator.
I discuss the VIEWPOINT article from the November TOASTMASTER mag, provide a “Tip of the Show” and conclude by hiliting 1 article from this November issue; “How a Hunter Captured his Game” - the introduction of Mark Hunter of Australia - this years winner of the “World Championship of Public Speaking” at the Toastmasters International Convention at Mashantucket, Connecticut.
