👍🏻👍🏻Nice Pictures
Missed the great meeting
As a Toastmaster of the evening, Shared my personal insights on the importance of “what’s in it for me- WIIFM” concept in public speaking. WIFM is a universal question every audience member is asking themselves when they’re attending a meeting, sitting through a presentation, or listening to a speech. Majority of the Toastmasters have sighted “Enhancing public speaking skills” as the prime purpose for joining a Toastmasters club, which I feel is a very generalized statement. Extending the WIFM concept to the members’ goal in joining a club, I elaborated on the abundant opportunities that members can look forward to benefit from including developing self esteem.
There are more positive reviews about the meeting. Sorry I really missed the exceent meeting conducted by TM Shruthi
Superb meeting well conducted by TM Asif, Honoured with special guests from TMI Area and District and ended with fantastic dinner with grilled fish instead of regular chicken grill.😊👍Thank you Shyamlal…Thank you all Team IUTM.
