Adequate, Good, or Great – What Do You Want to Be?
Last night I asked the question of club members if they wanted to be adequate, good or great speakers. 99% indicated they wanted to be great speakers. One of the tips I shared with them is that if you want to be a great speaker, you need to listen to and watch other great speakers and try to incorporate what they do into your presentations.
Here’s a list of some of the speakers I have listened to and watched over the years which have helped me with my delivery. Many of these you can find in the library, on YouTube or through Google.com

Member Profile – Mary Ann King
Why did you join Toastmasters?
In 2004 a small group at Nestle Purina was looking to form a corporate Toastmaster’s club. Since I’d been a member of the South County Club in the late 90’s, I thought it would be fun to rejoin Toastmasters and an opportunity to help get a new club off the ground. Additionally, Terry Rolan (Solae Club) wouldn’t let you out of the room until you agreed to become an officer.
What’s the greatest benefit you’ve received from Toastmasters?
Toastmasters has provided myriad opportunities for personal growth and has improved my self confidence. Prior to joining I was considered the quiet accountant in the corner. Being Toastmaster of the Evening, especially for corporate open houses to attract new members, allowed me to hone my creative theme skills. I went from a constant state of trepidation to one of looking forward to crafting a fun meeting in each role that I performed. As I grew in confidence I became more interested in leadership roles – club officer and then Area Governor. It was my way of giving back to so many people who had helped me on my journey.
Speaking of roles, what’s been or continues to be the most difficult role for you as a Toastmaster?
I continue to struggle with impromptu speaking. I generally prefer to be prepared. However, after hearing a recent speech by Barb Sapienza, I think I have some ammunition in my arsenal to deflect the next Table Topics bullet.
What are some of your interests outside of Toastmasters?
My family and I have spent the last 20 years exploring the outdoors of the West. Hiking, backpacking, and camping are high on our list. It’s exciting to bump into the history of early Native Americans or pioneers. It’s an education and a window into a much tougher way of life. It certainly gives you an appreciation for all the comforts of the 21st century.
What’s one of your favorite quotes?
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”—Mark Twain
Tell us something we don’t know about you.
I get high on the smell of sagebrush.

Speech Marathon Notes
Since the monthly speech marathon is a “work in progress,” here are a few notes on our first few meetings and how we might improve it in the future. (If you have any other ideas please pass them on to our club president.)
Video DVDs
Bill Collier) I was the camera operator, and we had 6 speakers with DVDs. Each DVD must be finalized in the camera or they cannot be played back when the member takes it home. Finalizing each DVD takes on average 5-1/2 minutes. So with 6 DVDs, the time needed to finalize after the last speaker was almost 35 minutes. There is no time to do this between speeches, so finalizing must be done after the last speaker. Tonight’s last speaker didn’t finish until almost 9PM, which meant I had to stay until 9:35, as did some of the speakers waiting for their DVDs.
Here’s the solution (and I believe it was Mark Roling who had this good idea): When we have a speech-a-thon, put all the speakers with DVDs first. (This assumes that not everyone will want his/her speech recorded.) Then as soon as the last DVD is made, the camera operator starts finalizing. With any luck, the job is done before the meeting is over.
Three more tips for speech-a-thon nights:
- Initialize as many of the blank DVDs before the first speaker as possible. Doing this between speeches is possible but you barely have time.
- The camera operator needs to know the order of the speakers. Again, things are moving quickly and having the DVDs lined up by speaker helps.
- Mark the DVDs or the cases to keep them from getting mixed up. With up to 10 DVDs in front of you, staying organized is important.
Vote Tabulator
Have two Vote Tabulators – one to count the votes and one to gather the incoming comments.
Toastmaster
The Toastmaster should keep his/her comments to a minimum to make sure we don’t go past our 9 pm closing time.
