Toastmaster: Arnel
Speakers: Parveen, Kelly and Sheryl
WORD OF THE DAY: Piffle – to talk or act in a trivial, inept, or ineffective way
USAGE: Avoid piffle in your manual speeches; however, it is acceptable to piffle over beers!
This was my first experience witnessing Arnel as a Toastmaster. He had a very laid back demeanor – and still managed to get us out two minutes early!!! Arnel’s toastmastering was humurous, light and made the morning very engaging. Typically, he serves as our astute Ah-Counter, but today he was bested by Cathy’s quick wit and fun introspection. Speeches by Parveen and Kelly gave us insight into leadership styles while Sheryl demonstrated personal leadership in her life and how she overcame adversity by reframing her real estate career – several times – both inside and outside the United States.
Sheryl earned the BIG FISH award today for her stylish Icebreaker speech.
President Nickolas presented Sheryl her Icebreaker pin. Welcome aboard Sheryl!!!
