Dear Members, Friends, Guests and Fellow Toastmasters of Stage Coach Toastmasters in Hyderabad, India:
It became crystal clear how far we have come along since the early days of stage coach travel to the swift click of a button that virtually transports us halfway across the world!
It was a beautiful, enriching experience to have a combined meeting this morning. DTM Kip and TM Kunal explored the world of idioms, and we found that…
- TM Priya faces unexpected situations in life as opportunities to “break a leg”…
- TM Carmine knows that there is always “light at the end of the tunnel” as we find our way out of the dark and into the light…
- TM Veena is agreeable to “pull someone’s leg” as a metaphor for using humor with perfect strangers…
- TM Lois pondered about the saying “it is what it is” which undoubtedly is the safest way to confront situations we can’t control. She Won Best Table Topics Award.
Then came the prepared speeches…
- DTM Mary Helen regaled us with an on-point, timely speech about her prior physical visits to Toastmaters Clubs in Gaucho Argentina, Ireland (predictably held next to a pub), Bustling Berlin…. And now, thanks to technology, she was able to visit a Toastmasters club in India and made many new friends.
- TM Prachi revealed that her communication style is analytical and told descriptive examples of other styles which wiped her formerly foggy perceptions and were instrumental – but not effective. She Won Best Speaker Award.
As far as evaluations….
- TM Marie praised TM Prachi for taking us right along with her on a rollercoaster of emotions and for challenging us to communicate with integrity and trust.
- TM Prathyusa lauded TM Mary Helen for a great topic and perfect timing. As a speaker, she connected with us, the audience, and motivated our new joiners and guests to embark on the Toastmasters virtual path. She Won Best Evaluator Award.
The Word of the Day was
LOGOPHILE, noun
Someone who loves words.
A great time was had by all and we hope our new friends from Hyderabad, India, return to visit us very soon!
