Toastmasters Humorous Speech Contest
The Toastmaster's Humorous Speech Contest at my local club (Naval Postgraduate School Toastmasters Club #2032) piqued my interest, so I participated on 18 August and surprised myself. Yesterday I proceeded to the Area-Level contest in Salinas, California where lightning struck twice on my shiny dome. Lo and Behold, I'll head to the District-level competition in Aptos, CA on 7 Oct. Thanks Carl, Arnie and Rachelle for the encouragement and seasoned critiques!
The contest yesterday was organized by a team of about 16 Toastmasters who pooled their collective energy and commitment to excellence and produced a very professional event! I was impressed. The level of effort surprised me--folks are really serious about doing well in Toastmasters International.
Several of the team met afterwards in the Ellis Restaurant in Salinas to do a military-like "After Action Review," to examine what worked and what didn't. No wonder they pulled off a quality event.
