Speak to Lead

“A good speaker may not be a good leader, but a good leader must be a good speaker.” San, the table topic master, and Ling, the best table topic speaker, brought this point to every audience and connected us to our club motto “Speak to Lead!” on 1 Aug 11. Ling, who was the dual winner at the night, suggested leaders should adopt the approach of “Teaching someone to fish instead of feeding someone on fish.” to help the grassroots in the best-prepared-speech-speaker presentation. In the evaluation section, Ai Ai, the best evaluator, analyzed Amy’s speech with reference to the techniques highlighted in Project 1 to 5 of the Competent Communication Manual.

Leaders are also learners. Therefore, we invited two heavyweights to our meeting to demonstrate evaluation skills to the leaders and the to-be leaders. In the evening, it was our club’s honour to welcome Manfred Leung, our Division G Governor to be the general evaluator and Andrew Yeung, our Area G1 Governor to be the speaker of the evaluation workshop in which the speeches of the president of the states were evaluated (Wow!).
