Theme : Being in the moment
Word of the day: mindful

After opening the meeting, Club president CC Matthew gave general background information about Toastmasters . Then he shared how he acted as sample speaker for the evaluation contest at the Lippo Karawaci Toastmasters Club.

An inspiring Toastmaster of the meeting (TOM), ACB/CL Imung gave us some food for thought : “we usually live in the past or the future… it is not easy to be in the moment, to enjoy the moment. We have so much (electronic) distraction that can decrease our quality of life. Enjoy everything with all your senses … Use your beginner’s eyes to see everything, so that you feel with the ecstasy of being in the moment.

TABLE TOPICS SPEECH SESSION :

Table Topics master CC Matthew challenged us with emotion-laden questions :
- ACB/CLmung : shows how angily she would react after being put on hold on the phone for 15 minutes.
- ACS/ALB Johan mentioned what he would do if he was still single and was refused a visa to the country of his foreign lover ? He said he would ask the foreign lover to come and live in Indonesia instead.
- Guest Riin: pretended to give an acceptance speech as the best actress of the year
- CC Dyah gave her opinion about the issue of beggars and added that NGO’s can help and train beggars
- TM Taufan demonstrate how he would give an excuse if he came 2 hours late on CC Matthew’s dinner party


EDUCATIONAL SESSION

DTM Harlina lectured about “How to give effective feedback” from a leader’s point of view. She illustrated with her experience when she visited another Toastmasters Club. The presentation material is taken from “ the Leadership Excellence Series”,


PREPARED SPEECH SESSION

CC Matthew redid his speech of last week : “Quiet Mind” but as BM #2 (organize your speech). To paraphrase CC Matthew: “ if the mind is more aware, more relaxed, we can enjoy more the moment of e.g. eating a banana”


EVALUATION SESSION

General Evaluator (GE) CC Dyah gave sharp and motivating feedback.
Individual evaluator ACS/ALB Wivina gave lots of specific pointers to CC/CL Matthew. Further teammembers were also very helpful in their evaluation: Grammarian CC Astuty, Timer DTM Harlina, Ah and WOD counter and ballot counter TM Taufan.
