Last Wednesday we had a great evening at the Toastmasters Ascot&Bracknell Speaking Club!
Amanda delivered a charismatic speech on handling difficult conversations, providing us with invaluable insights and helpful tips. Three things to think about: How to reduce the emotion to enable discussion; how to minimise opposition and show you have something in common; how to reduce the stakes and put the situation in perspective.
Joanna dived into the fascinating world of EI (Emotional Intelligence) and AI (Artificial Intelligence), presenting the potential impact this connection can have on our future lives. Have you ever thought about what AI could do if it could recognise and respond to emotions?
Mike led a fascinating Table Topics session on the theme of Daring Spirit. The questions stimulated the speakers who had no difficulty filling the time with interesting stories.
Throughout the meeting, not only did we practice our public speaking skills but we also gained knowledge shared by the speakers and participants. It was a truly enriching experience.
If that sounds like something you would enjoy or benefit from, please join us at our next meeting on Wednesday, 26th July. We look forward to meeting you then! 🙂
