May 14th - Moments that turned up your life!

Hi members, guests or people who found out this blog by chance.

I am here to speak about the last session, on Wednesday May 14th who was conducted by M.A. 

Would be there a reason because M.A. were the toastmaster? ... Five years ago, M.A. joined first time to a session of Barcelona TM Club. In his own words, this was a relevant decission for the life of this veteran member.

Then, the theme of day was "moments that turned up your life".

The session was well balanced in all the parts. Evaluations were carried out by Rayane, Thomas and Nacho, and the table topics part was conducted by the imaginative Isabel Valdevieso.

But, in my opinion, the special prize of the evening was for the speeches. What a three speeches !!. What variety of topics!! ... and all together the interest aroused.

Firstly, we enjoyed the Beatriz's speech about the basic influence that open gestures more than on the audience, has on the positive working of our brain. It's not a question of physical or chemical. It's physical AND chemical.

Then, Lukasz informs and persuades us about the dangers of plastic in seas. This pollution covers a extension equal to four Spain. It seems nothing in the inmensity of ocean but this is a increasing problem that we no know tackle?, no can? or no want to? !!.

Finally, a controversial speech of Marion about the low risk and repetitive standards of our emotive speeches. The title of the speech "This is not a story about my dead hamster" gives you some clues about the subject. Very interesting !!! and MORE... she give us clever advices about public speaking that I keep as a pearls.

No ... I don't forget you... Cristina Simon, Jelena Vetockina and Lucie Arnaudies ... and Mariyana Tasheva. A big applause to people who allow rest of us to have an objective feedback thanks to their tough effort puting the focus on filler words, grammar and time.. and general review. Technical team ... the soul of session !!!.

Let me count ... we had four Spaniards, a Polish, two French, a German, a Dane, a Romanian, a Lithuanian and a Bulgarian. Wow... Europe was very well represented !!!.
