Summer 2017 – Special Outdoor Meeting at Königsplatz!

c13087f0cf

It´s summertime, the weather is fine and it´s about that time…. to hold our annual outdoor meeting at Königsplatz!

The key to a successful outdoor event is the weather! And anyone who has lived in Munich for a while knows that predicting the weather around here can be tricky. So here’s the plan;

We are going to name two dates, if the first one gets rained out we will go with the follow-up date one week later. Therefore the target date for our outdoor meeting will be Tuesday, July 25th at 19:00! The follow up date, in case of rain, will be August 1st.

This year, we will hold our meeting on the steps of the Glyptothek, which is the building straight across on the North side of the Platz.

For those who seek some more inspiration, check our last year´s outdoor meeting!

So come one come all and recapture the feeling of the ancients of Greece and Rome, speaking outdoors on the sun-warmed stone steps of a magnificent columned structure!

A new Competent Communicator

20170124_205509

Dear Munich Toastmasters,

On our last meeting on 24th January 2017 we were able to observe how one of our dear members achieved the Competent Communicator award by Toastmasters International. The first important step in the Toastmaster speaking career. Edgar, well done! Congratulations!

Edgar delivered a wonderful and inspiring speach about taking failures in your life. And he did this in  a very personal way be telling us a bit of his life and his recent failures. The three tips he gave us in his speech on how to take failures were the following:

  1. Accept them
  2. Find the driving force
  3. Work on yourself

What a wonderful insight from one of our members. The Comptent Communicator was well deserved and I look forward to seeing other members of our club reaching this level and going even beyond it.

After the Competent Communicator level a Toastmaster can work on many advanced speaking projects like “The Entertaining Speech”, “Speeches by Managment”, “Technical Presentations”, “Storytelling”, etc.

Who will be next?

See you soon, take care

Gudrun
