Friendship on Tues 1 Nov 2011
On an evening of drizzling rain, members and guests of Friendship convened at Bukit Kiara to Initiate the Transformation to revolutionize (word of the day) our communication and leadership skills.
Members & guests of Friendship
With 4 project speeches and Table Topics Session filled with “transformation” questions, General Evaluator Victor declared it to be a productive meeting.
At the end of the meeting, Immediate Past Area W3 Governor Angeline presented Immediate Past President Zaiton with District 51 President Distinguished Club award, for her leadership role in guiding Friendship to a successful term for 2010/2011.
VPM Alexandra who has been working assiduously on her Competent Leadership projects was presented with the Half CL ribbon as she has completed 14 out of the required 23 projects.
IBM Malaysia on Wed 2 Nov 2011
For their second club meeting, IBM Toastmasters gamely took on all meeting roles with the exception of the evaluator roles. President Kenny in trying out the TME role for the first time declared that it was fun because he was in control of the meeting !
Grammarian Laila presenting her entertaining and insightful report
In Anthony’s Ice Breaker speech, he shared with us the upheaval in his life back in 2010. Despite the difficulties he had faced, he was grateful he had emerged stronger and wiser.
Yiyin’s Ice Breaker speech about her school days and her college years was refreshing as she was a natural speaker, at ease speaking in front of her peers and visiting Toastmasters.
President Kenny presenting GE Aaron with a token of appreciation
It was equally refreshing to observe that new IBM Toastmasters were putting in effort to practice and improve as speakers and leaders, guided by their dedicated club sponsors and mentors.
KPMG KL on Wed 9 Nov 2011
By TME Jowy Chong
Two hours well spent! We had a fruitful and efficient meeting today. Once again our members demonstrated excellent team spirit, flexibility and ever willingness to accept challenges.
It’s a known fact that KPMG’ians are always busy with work and operating under tight schedule. At the eleventh hour, our VPE standing in for President and as speech evaluator as well as our Club Secretary playing the role of Ah counter were unable to attend the meeting. Our Grammarian also could not make it at the last minute !
Without a sign of panic, first timer TME, Jowy Chong, with the help of IPP Grace quickly sorted matters out by asking members to multi-task and inviting our guests to take up available roles.
Best Table Topic Speakers Ben and Suresh with TME Jowy (middle)
We had a successful and fun meeting where 13 of us participated and brought home some learning points. The meeting ended on time with a delicious, simple nasi lemak meal as well as an apple each. It was indeed a very efficient and fruitful lunch meeting today.
Kudos to our neighbour and friends from IBM - Ben Koh, Wai Lim and Kenny Chan. Not only did they join us for the meeting and bravely volunteered to be table topics speakers, they also took up the impromptu roles as Grammarian and Ah Counter.
This is what I call the TOASTMASTERS SPIRIT ! Well done everyone.
