Chill out! — Jan 13 Meeting Recap

Posted on January 14, 2016 by libertyvillagetm

01 Andrew Jan 13

Stop! Now take a deep, deep breath…

…and you’re relaxed. That was just one of many “chill out” techniques our Toastmaster Andrew taught us during his relaxing start to the meeting. Wes followed with a thoughtful journey to his past, present, and future in his Icebreaker speech, while Richard stayed cool through a test run of his upcoming talk at a conference. Whew!

Congrats to Wes for winning Table Topics with his chilling pitch for Netflix’s Making a Murderer, and for being inducted as our newest member.

NEXT WEEK:
Speeches from Arash, Maxim, Mohammed, and more…

Beginnings — Jan 6 Meeting Recap

Posted on January 7, 2016 by libertyvillagetm

Be Jan 6

Need some inspiration for 2016?

Our special “combined” meeting with UHN Toastmasters provided plenty. Toastmaster Be encouraged us to make a new best friend this year — yourself! — and to take yourself along for the ride. Cristina shared her own beginning in her Icebreaker speech, filled with change and transformation, while Ray inspired us to transform ourselves into coaches and mentors. Finally, James shared the story of Tommy the rabbit, who showed great courage and persisted through adversity.

Table Topics was won by our guest Bob, who’s beginning 2016 by joining several Toastmasters clubs. Congrats!

NEXT WEEK: Our first meeting back at the Harbourfront Community Centre, 6:15pm.
