The people

Enrique, in his usual high spirits mood, was the first person to start this toastmaster special session.

Secondly, Jelena, our exquisite president, told us that in this session there would be an evaluation exercise. She also told us that the most important in toastmaster was its people. It made us feel proud!

Following this, Jorge, whose, role was toastmaster of the session explained to us the theme of the session, the timetable and the program of the session.

Amoldar was the chosen word for the session.

Jordi did a brilliant speech whose theme was: about your life...you decide. In his speech he talked about mountains which were his favourite place to be. He also managed to incorporate in his speech personal elements. He finished with one thing he found out: each one enjoys the life as one wants and that you can’t delegate your limits into other person.

The second speech of the night was told by Jelena with the title moments of true. Firstly Jelena told us what kind of true was going to be revelled. Following this, Jelena added that to see how successful the club was, we were going to do an evaluation exercise. This would allow us to see the good points and the points that we could improve. All toastmasters’ members and guests had to participate.

According to our president there are six critical moments of true. The following were: the first impression; membership orientation; fellowship, variety and communication; program planning and meeting organization; membership strength and last but not the least, achievement recognition.

The class was divided in six separate groups and each group had six standards to evaluate in 10 minutes. After finishing this exercise each group had to share the report with the rest of the audience. Each report had to include the standards the club currently met and the recommendations each group had for improvement or change.

When this workshop finished it was time for Rayane to evaluate Jordi’s speech. She remembered the audience its objectives. Then Rayane commented on the things that she enjoyed and after that she recommended her points of improvement. She concluded by saying that she liked the history because she herself could identified with it plus and she too likes mountains.

After Rayane left the stage it was time for Laia with a very accurate evaluation of the entire meeting, focusing in what went well and what could be improved for further sessions.

Our president gave the news that we were going to have a temporal solution for the next toastmaster session room. Her last message was that for her what was the most important in toastmaster were its people.

Our brilliant Sergeant of arms, Enrique, finished the session.
