PROGRAM: Tonya Lehren, a Toastmaster
Tonya is working on her Accredited Speaker Presentation status and was a very fun speaker.
She discussed “How to Speak” and we played speaking games.
The secrets to speaking are: 1. Speak up
2. Answer off the top of your head
3. Unexpected questions – move your mouth.
Fun time, teaming up with other members for several sets of “guess what this word is?”.
