How do we know when a speech is a good speech?

That’s a really good question. It usually doesn’t involve much more than a “That was really good” whisper to someone sitting nearby; it would be a struggle to determine exactly why the speech was so good. There just aren’t a lot of measures.

This workshop will show you what you can use to measure a speech and how you could deliver a speech that is REALLY “GOOD!”

Did you participate in 2 world-class carnivals in the same place and week? I bet you didn’t. We have a chance to experience it in May 2010. The Shanghai Toastmasters Convention will take place from 7 May (Fri) to 9 May (Sun). Simultaneously, the Shanghai World Expo will be in place at the same time. The World Expo has 24 exhibition halls, which encompasses all major contemporary cultures. I am sure it will be lots of fun.

Not only will Ed Tate, World Public Speaking Champion in 2000, be a keynote speaker, but there will also be 10+ communication and leadership workshops to join. An amazing function!

This year, seats are allocated on first-come-first serve basis, which means those who paid in earlier periods can opt front-row seats. Besides, because of the World-Expo, hotel and flight prices will rise rapidly. Price will rise 50% from Jan to May, when the World-Expo starts. Therefore, please act early to buy tickets, reserve flights and book hotel. Do motivate your club members as well!

Details of seats, transportation, flight, hotel, Asia World Expo and etc. are on the following websites:
