We held our 554th regular meeting in a hybrid format, with twelve members and one guest

in attendance. The meeting theme was “The Art of Negotiations” presented by the

Toastmaster of the Morning (TMOM) , TM MA. Although she appeared nervous at first—it

being her very first time as TMOM—her excellent facilitation and thorough preparation led

to a smooth and successful meeting!

Prepared Speech Session

We had two engaging prepared speeches from TM SN and TM EA.

TM SN delivered a speech on project management. At a previous meeting, she presented

her plan, and this time, she shared the results. Her project focused on a visit to the Osaka

Expo. Thanks to her careful preparation, the trip was a great success!

TM EA gave his Ice Breaker speech. Though new to our club, he is an experienced

Toastmaster from the Philippines. His confident delivery belied his past experience of

freezing during a speech—proof that challenges can be overcome with perseverance and

the courage to try again.

Table Topics Session

The Table Topics session, led by TM BS, featured a creative twist! Speakers were asked to

express two opposing perspectives on a single topic. Our guest did an outstanding job

embodying two personas while debating whether to give up a seat to an elderly person on

a train.

Evaluation Session

We had a constructive and motivational evaluation session led by TM HY and TM MT. Their

evaluations were excellent models for others to learn from. One focused in depth on two

specific aspects with clear reasoning, while the other offered multiple detailed insights,

providing a well-rounded example of effective feedback through concrete demonstration.

As the current Toastmasters term comes to an end, we held an installation ceremony for

officers as they begin their term!
