For successfully completing ten advanced speeches from the manuals on Storytelling and Special Occasion Speeches, Jono received his Advanced Communicator Bronze award.
And congratulations to Jono for achieving Advanced Communicator Bronze recognition!
Seven Competent Communicators, three Competent Leaders, one Advanced Communicator Bronze and one Advanced Leader Bronze: that is the impressive list of awards from Toastmasters International that our members have already achieved during the past seven months of this Toastmasters year. There are around 30 Toastmasters Clubs in Christchurch and over 250 in New Zealand. With the proud record of twelve educational achievements so far, U-CAN-SPEAK is the uncontested club number one on the list. This result can be seen as further proof of the great motivation of our members, the supportive learning environment and the vast educational opportunities that the club has to offer. And even more is yet to come!
Why evaluate? Who benefits? How to evaluate? And when? These are the core questions our absolutely awesome Assistant Division Governors Rob and Mark raised and which members of the U-CAN-SPEAK Club along with four enthusiastic guests found compelling answers to.
Assistant Division Governor Mark delivered an outstanding educational on effective evaluation techniques.
