Toastmaster of the Day Worksheet
DATE:
28th July 2013 Word
of the Day: gregarious
Theme:
Discover the leader in you
1.
Introduce theme of the day and word of the
day. Encourage the speakers to use them during the meeting. Ask the audience to
applaud when the Theme of the day and word of the day is used by the speakers.
An Egg is a symbol of transformation
A hen lays several eggs. But only a few hatch and transform into chicken. Similarly, a number of members join toastmasters. However, only a few are determined and passionate to get transformed into great leaders and communicators. Our mentors help mentees to discover the real leader in them. Discover the leader in you, is the Theme of the Day.
If
you carefully observe the newly born chicks, they go around in groups. They
love to be with other chicken. That is because, they are all GREGARIOUS – that
is the word of the day.
2.
Explain the flow of meeting and the 3
segments (Prepared speeches, Table Topics and Evaluation) for guests.
Every toastmasters meeting has 3 segments.
The first segment is called prepared speeches
segment. In Toastmasters, speakers are given time to come prepared with a
speech and deliver it in the club as part of the Prepared Speeches segment. The
prepared speeches section in Toastmasters meetings is the incubation house for
members to practice their presentation skills.
The second segment is called Table Topics
segment. In this segment, we help fellow toastmasters to handle impromptu
speaking situations .. which normally comes with extreme Temperature &
Tension. Like an egg that becomes stronger when put in a boiling water, our
fellow TMs become stronger by participating in Table Topics Session.
When an egg is broken from outside force life
ends, when an egg is broken from force inside life begins. Evaluation is that
segment in Toastmasters that helps members to break that shell from within, to
bring a new life into this world.
In order to walk us through the evaluations
segment, we have a team headed by our General Egg Braker... I mean General
Evaluator..

the General Evaluator (based on the meeting theme) and ask the General
