Updates from July & August Meetings
Hi Everyone,
We had a great few weeks of Toastmasters here at Raintree:
- Our informal meeting in July was hypnotic
We had a fun & quick informal meeting followed by 5 hours of a hypnosis workshop conducted by President Rachit! The workshop had over 20 participants all learning the basics of hypnosis, trance and healing using this great tool. Thanks to all the coaches from Patterns of Excellence who came by - Our formal meeting on August 1st was a blast!
We had several guests from the Patterns of Excellence program who dropped by and joined the club! We also had distinguished evaluators from Chua Chu Kang TMC (thanks Pauline Lim & Jave), Queenstown TMC (a great table topics session by Bernard Gan) and AIA Changi TMC (an always entertaining Hijazi showed us what energy is about) who took valuable time out to give feedback to the speakers. We also had the Division Governer (Kristina was at her sarcastic best ;)) drop by for the Exco installation. - Our informal meeting on August 25th reminds me of a story …
We had a fun meeting where a number of our new members started their project 1’s and we had a unique evaluation session where a panel of judges (Eldhi, Rachit & David) evaluated the projects on different aspects (body language, words & tonality, overall impression). Afterwards, Area Governer David conducted an enchanting workshop about Storytelling and had all of us weaving loops in and out … - We learnt so much from visiting a tonne of clubs
Last month our members visited Sony Ericsson TMC (David, Tim, Rachit), Braddell Heights Advanced TMC (Mavis), ITMA TMC (David), Tamil Language TMC (David), Great Eastern TMC (David), Chua Chu Kang TMC (Rachit). Each of those visits was quite an experience as we learnt a lot about how we can improve in our next meeting.
This month, we have a lot of interesting activities planned too:
- A formal meeting with a whole new set of guests
- An informal meeting to introduce all the new members
- An in-house humorous speaking contest
- An in-house evaluation contest
- A variety of workshops on NLP, Self development, hypnosis and coaching!
For details just drop by one of our meetings or give us a call
