I remembered the reason why I came back to Toastmasters Club. Because of the urged to guide Sister Catherine of her willingness to develop her public speaking skill.
That's why I allocated my time to bring her to the Pioneer Haus - the venue of the Queen City Club Toasmasters meeting. I made her special by fetching her from the home going directly to the said venue.
It was highly memorable and unforgettable moment together with Sister Catherine. Because I found her so nice to talk with coming from her heart. I admired her to much of her skills acquired in entrepreneurship as she foretold her experiences during her childhood days. I couldn't imagine how she was able to experience the hardships of selling of any sort of items from food to jewelries. She is really one of the kind I knew ever since.
The meeting formally started at 7:30pm almost an hour beyond the set time. But thank you for the food servings that made us felt comfortable together with my guest. Everybody had a part of the meeting. I was assigned as a counter of Ahs, Uhmm, repeated words or any speech violations. And even got a surprise of the table topics impromptu speaking that shook my nerves. It was then, my first time experience.
It was embarassing from the eyes of the guests because I wasn't able to relate the table topic as with regard to school. And I felt really at difficulty level constructing words. Hehhe, I don't even remember what I said. It was a great learning point for me. I bet I could make a better next time around by just following the AREM(Answer, Reason, Example(s), Message) approach.
With my guest, we asked permission to leave the meeting because it was already a heavy night. I got a nice feedback from Sister Catherine showing interest to join the club.
