chauffeur if he can drive the limo. Chauffeur sits in the back seat. John
Lennon drives the limo and accelerates way over the speed limit. Limo gets
pulled over by a police officer. Officer radios into headquarters that's
he's pulled someone over that's really important. How important? Officer
responds, I'm not sure, but the chauffeur is John Lennon.
Speaker#1. Richa Acharya. Sales 101.
Experience with sales from books and co workers. Three points. 1. Now or
Never. 2. Need and Benefit. 3. Create the Want. Role play with Shirley
Eaves and Kathy Barrett. Richa sells jewelry. Shirley wants cheap and
cheerful. (Shirley made a tee pee with the tips of her fingers when she
was looking over the jewelry. Placing your hands in a steeple gestures
signals confidence and dominance over others, indicating your' thinking or
evaluating something. To achieve this posture, lightly touch your
fingertips together with your hands pointing up in the shape of a church's
steeple. Light touch is important. Go ahead and try it. I know you want
to. I'll wait for you). Feedback with audience members. Options,
pricing, and a story.
Speaker #2. Russ Agnew. Inspire Audience.
Stop in your tracks. Lizard brain. Good fear protects. Bad fear mocks
you. Tells you not to do it. David and Goliath story. Steps of fear
setting. 1. Define the fear. Write down the fear to prevent these things
from happening. 2. What are the benefits? 3. Cost of inaction? Fear
and emotions will start to serve you.
Table Topics: Jonathan Kolber. Rock and Roll Lyrics misinterpreted.
1. Katelyn Stoll. First six string. First sex dream.
2. Shirley Eaves. Excuse me while I kiss the sky. Excuse me while I kiss
this guy.
3. Robin McIntosh. It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not. It
doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not.
4. Luis Estrada. The girl with kaleidoscope eyes. The girl with colitis
goes by.
5. Kathy Barrett. Like a virgin, touched for the very first time. Like a
virgin touched for the thirty first time.
6. Phil Poplawski. There's a bad moon on the rise. There's a bathroom on
the right.
General Evaluator: Alan Wong
1. Colette Smith evaluating Richa.
Outstanding job meeting objectives. 3 quick point engaged the story. Set
up self as expert. Role play with Shirley and Kathy a great strength.
Having two role players may have caused the time to go over. Challenge you
to keep pushing forward. Hand clasp up front to a minimal. Breath and
pause a little bit more.
2. Dirk Kittredge on Russ.
Objective to challenge the audience and connect to the audience. Appeal
directly to fear. Self actualization. Story of snake, fear. Changing
status quo to be a better person. Moving through out the room with the
computer a curious move. Appeal in first person we and us.
Reports
Grammarian: Shirley Eaves.
Jennifer Dunne. "Get to Do list".
Richa Acharya. Read in, I learned, I gather.
Russ Agnew. Conscious fear. Fear setting instead of goal setting. Him
and his people should be He and his people.
Gesture Master: Phillip Poplawski.
Colette Smith. Barrier with hands. Hand clasped doing it before saying
it.
Dirk Kittredge. Stair step hand movement
Russ Agnew. Stop in your tracks. Holding the pose.
Richa Acharya. Hand accordion movement.
Quiz Master: Kathy Barrett
On Russ Agnew's speech, what can serve you to accomplish your dreams? A:
Fear.
In Jennifer's Dunne's reference to her book, what was the title of the
book? A: The Daily Stoic.
In Katelynn's joke, who was the chauffeur? A: John Lennon.
Alan's evaluation on the evaluators.
1. Colette Smith. Gave very good reference to role playing, hand
clasping, and breathing and pauses. (What I was going to say to Colette
and didn't say was Predictable. In my mind when I was up there, I didn't
think the word predictable had the positive impact it should have so I
didn't say it. What I wanted to say was "Predictable Excellence"). Too
bad my mind works so slow. Good evaluation on Richa.
2. Dirk Kittredge. Great voice. Inspires us with organization. Dumb
founded, doing what your suppose to do. Crushing and killing. Cited
author, T rex arms. And used the polite word curious. Observing things
that the rest of us would not think or notice and presenting it in ways we
go "ah ha".
Ribbon Winners: Congratulations
Russ Agnew: Best Speaker
Katelynn Stoll: Best Table Topics
Dirk Kittredge: Best Evaluator.
There were 16 people in attendance. 15 members and Mike West.
Congratulations to all the new officers and thank you to all the past
officers for a job well done. The speakers were wonderful. Table topics
was fun and entertaining. I can only imagine how much time it took
Jonathan to research all the lyrics and songs for table topics. Jeff
Stoll's theme was well selected. Who doesn't love Rock and Roll? It was
another fantastic meeting and in case you missed it, you should've been
there. On that "note", I leave you with this.
When we learn something new, we don't go from wrong to right. We go from
wrong to slightly less wrong. And when we learn something additional, we
go from lightly less wrong than that, and then to even less wrong than
that. We are all in the process of approaching perfection. And
toastmasters does all that for us "everyday". Thank you
Until next week, I am your humble secretary.
Alan Wong
