The World's Worst Evaluators
Mark D'Silva DTM and Steve Howard DTM |
Evidence suggests that the greatest “turn-off” for Toastmasters members and visitors is poor evaluation. Mark and Steve demonstrate how NOT to present evaluations when they metamorphose into the world’s worst evaluators. Laugh while you learn in this audacious presentation. Warning: Do not expect political correctness. This forum exposes the unpleasant characteristics of the WORLD’S WORST EVALUATORS. |

Change? Bring It On Baby!
Jennifer Long VC1 |
Change can be dramatic and demand that we radically alter how we think or work. We may feel uncomfortable. We may be scared. We may resist. At other times change sneaks up on us like a thief in the night. It might surprise us. We might only recognise it when we view it in retrospect. In this interactive session you will learn about the key features of change and some strategies for managing the change process. |
