Smart Speakers

In the regular meeting on 15 Aug 11, our Ice Breakers demonstrated smart ways of delivering Project 1 of the Competent Communication (CC) Manual. Alan, the first Ice Breaker in the evening, aroused our curiosity by dropping hints for the audience to guess his occupation. The IT Manager shared his experience of giving a 3-hour lecture and preventing his students from falling asleep concurrently. Sergio, the second Ice Breaker in the evening, told us his journey of carrying out an important mission assigned by his country was initiated by a lucky draw and his luck brought him to Hong Kong.

At the night, it was our pleasure to invite Ivy Chan, a seasoned Toastmaster who won a number of titles in different speech contests in different levels, to provide a humorous speech workshop to our club. Ivy not only explained several methods of constructing a humorous speech by comparing them with cooking skills in a simile smartly but also taught us how to decorate speeches with rhymes.

“A smart person is someone who is able to hire smart people.” In the table topic section, Ben, who was asked to suggest a smart way to work if he was elected as Miss Hong Kong, shared his view of being a smart person and brought laughter to the venue during the play of a pretty and wise Hong Kong representative.
