Verity Price 2015 District 74 Evaluation Champion

How the Toastmaster Program increases self-awareness and positive mentoring:
Teams work effectively through working together and understanding the goals they are going to develop. If you can listen effectively and then provide clear thought through discussion, do you think that would help to produce effective teams?

One of the ways Toastmasters develop this is through a program called evaluation. It develops 3 key skills. Listening, thinking and then speaking. Perhaps you might agree with me that those 3 skills, in that order, are much more effective than speaking first, listening to yourself and then thinking “Oh that was not a very smart thing to say.”

I this evaluation. Smooth, vivid, enjoyable speech with a lot of meaningful observations and recommendations. Thank you for sharing this.

This is one of the best evaluations I have seen so far!

[MyHomeGymChannel]

Good one. Recommendations were clear and on point. Last line for encouraging to speak again was awesome.

This is just..wow. I’ve just started learning to evaluate speeches & am having this as a motivation for my long long journey lol :)))

[edvardkalathil]

This is an excellent evaluation, doesnt look artificial like usual toastmasters speech :)

[josephfinn]

That was a fabulous evaluation.  No wonder she won!  Great job Verity

[secordman]

"A word wizard in our midst". Good one. Maybe I'll steal, I mean, borrow that line. :) Growth points were done in a very encouraging and fun way. The "this was very good but could be really great!" technique. Presented with sincerity.

[AnneLeighton]

The writing patterns on this are wonderful, too.

Great evaluation - noteworthy was the structure. I think it would have been even better if the evaluator had spoken to the audience rather than the speaker; and referred to the speaker in the first person; in this way the recommendations / challenges would have been offered as learnings for all to consider, not just the speaker she was evaluating. On the whole though - awesome job, articulate yet succinct; thumbs up Verity!

how can we find the original test/target speech by Keta?

[tarascherkasov]

Excellent, definitely took notes for the next club meeting:-))

[iamlethibe]

Where can we watch the speech she is evaluating?

[jamessimms]

Notes were apparently placed on lectern by Sgt At Arms...less obvious

[JorgeHernandezPositive]

I liked this style, I think is a good idea to use it as a format for my evaluations, I will keep searching for more evaluations to refine mine, please if you have any other evaluation suggested, share them. Thanks.

[shahzaibiqbal]

I watched and listened this almost 20 times. What about you?

[fitpresenter]

I wonder if Verity was living in her sister's house at this time.

[sajik.g.]

Poor & selfish presentation, bcos she seems to be addressing only Native English ppl in the audience. That's why she speaks very fast.
SLOW-DOWN & SHOW YOUR EMPATHY WITH ALL THE PEOPLE... DEFINITELY, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE UNDERSTOOD BY ALL.
