Sunway University Toastmasters Club: 2012

Sunway University Toastmaster Club 9th Meeting (6th September 2012)

Just hours before the meeting, Mr. Victor asked me whether I was interested of taking up the challenge to be the TME for the meeting. At first I did not hesitate to take up the role but slowly reality set in.

I started to doubt my own capabilities and thought to myself "oh...what have I done."

I was getting more and more nervous as it was getting closer to the meeting.

Right before the meeting started, I stop and calm myself.

I start to gather all the training and knowledge I learn from TM.

I thought to myself, "this would be the perfect opportunity for me to apply what I learned.

So I did and it turned out that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I ended up having a great time and a wonderful experience serving as the TME :)

So remember this,

take up the challenge and get out of your comfort zone because you'll never know what you are capable of unless you put your skill to the test.

Table Topic Session

We had 8 wonderful topic table speakers. All having their own unique style of speaking.

It really does take courage to step up on the stage, unprepared, to take on a topic given on the spot.

Any who take up the challenge, deserve praising.

FYI, our club record so far is 9 table topic speakers per meeting ;)

Haha I guess the person who had the toughest job here was the table topic evaluator.
