Educational MinuteEducational tips should focus on issues specific to the development of such Toastmaster skills as speaking, listening, gestures, timing, developing your speech content, evaluating a speech, or others.
Preparation: (very much like a speech)
- Go over your talk with a coach/mentor, or fellow Toastmaster (the Meeting Toastmaster would be a good choice).
- Note cards or a script can be helpful. Use a large typeface.
- Practice as many times as you need in order to feel confident (by yourself and/or with an audience).
When introduced, go to the lectern and greet the Toastmaster with a handshake. Acknowledge the Toastmaster, fellow Toastmasters, and guests (if any).
Educational tips organization
- Strong beginning
- Organized body with definite, flowing transitions
- Strong ending (no thank you's).
Wait for the Toastmaster to come to the lectern for another handshake and then return to your seat.
