How to prevent boredom from presenting the same material to different audiences? That is if you have the luxury of having many audiences for your presentation. Always, shake things up—at least a little. (#podcast link in the comment)

@HoESpeaks Hello @HoESpeaks, I agree! What are the the top 3 other things than public speaking in Toastmasters for you?

Being a #Toastmaster isn't just about public speaking. There is a lot more to it than that...

@fruitbowlmedia Even if you can't see them well on the camera - the person/people still are on the other side. Don't talk as if there was nobody on the other side. Ask rhetorical questions. Pause. Did that explanation help?

@fruitbowlmedia People doing a "pitch" often have a tendency to speak in a more formal, "presentation" mode. It is better to tune it down and be conversational. Talking to a screen may be tiring - but you will improve your chances by adding a bit of enthusiasm.

@geriwithetc @Toastmasters19 That's a great observation, @geriwithetc! We listen better when we have a task to understand. By the way - this is a very clever Toastmasters trick. Why is it that everyone at a Toastmasters meeting is so engaged? It's because almost everyone has a role in the meeting.

This is why, every week in Toastmasters, members of our club provide speech Evaluation. I used to hate it. Now I realize I am learning to LISTEN. Do you know how much BETTER you listen, when your task is to understand and reflect back what you have just heard? @Toastmasters19
