Jauhari Bilingual TMC as Workshop Presenter, 09th November 2019

On the 09^th November 2019, I was at Jauhari Bilingual Toastmasters Club, as workshop speaker.  This was my 114^th club visit on the 131^st day of the Toastmaster year.

The Toastmaster of the Day, and sergeant-at-arms, was Muhammad Nurfarhan bin Abdul Jaaffar, and the photographer was Siti Zuhriyyah binte Mohammed Ariffin.

This is the second in a series of workshops organised by Jauhari Bilingual Toastmasters Club, and is about impromptu speaking.  The first session, the week before, was about being the life of the party.  The workshop was streamed live, and there was an online audience in addition to the physical participants.

Whilst I did touch on the concept of table topics in a Toastmasters concept, what I did cover was the ability to speak off the cuff, and the art of conversation.  Words matter, and conversations must have an intent, and a structure, to achieve measurable results.  We also touched on how to steer a conversation, and when to not speak.

Since this is a workshop, there was n emphasis on practice, and the participants were put through two rounds of drills, playing roles, in distinct situations.
