We've made it !!
It is 6 July 08 and I've just peeked at the DCP reports on the Web. It showed a score of 9. Nine of what!! Well, the way I see it, 9 wives could be a few too many, R9 in your pocket (on your way to the watering hole for a few beers) is definitely not enough, but in this case, the figure of 9 is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! It all started with the first meeting on 24-4-07 and even before that. Lois Strachan & Frances Boshoff, how can we ever hope to start Thanking all of you for the many hours of advice to get all of it up and running?!! Yvonne Anderson who donated the "old PE" lights, Etienne who asked a contact in Bloem to craft our own gavel and so I could carry on. To all my "speaking comrades from the past" who also shared in the vision of having our own club, one where we could learn, grow and still have fun because nothing beats enjoyable personal growth. Now we have achieved 9 out of 10 and can call ourselves a President's Distinguished Club. What a lovely feeling!!! My Thanks to all those Protea TC members who kept to their speaking goals (Shaun for forfeiting some night duty income to come and do that # 10 speech/Etienne for visiting Gabarone Club to finish what you promised to finish in order for us to made it to roughly the top 10% of all Clubs). Yep, nothing beats setting of a goal and then "clocking" it.
And now we start all over again, but with one major difference : This time round we know we can do it, we've been to the top of the mountain and we liked the view so let us simply, from hereon, STAY on TOP of the mountain. Look at your personal communication and leadership goals , share it with your VPE and /or your mentor and "clock" each and every one of your goals.
Some wonderfull opportunities are starting to come our way. Marcine from Border Bulldogs is looking for speakers who want to assist in encouraging the Bulldogs into a Winning Team by delivering inspiration and/or educational talks to the players on a regular basis. Talk to me if you are interested in joining us on this journey.
We'll definitely join the Speech Contest circuit leading up to Oct 08 final in Durban.
Presenting of Speechcraft courses is also under consideration.
Looking forward to a stunning year! Most of all, let us always strive to create memorable conversations!
Toastmasters Greetings.
