This post will be God-sent for those of who you are cracking your brain to think of a speech to deliver at your Toastmasters meeting, a business gathering or an after-dinner event.
What you are seeing below is an abstract of Darren La Croix’s winning speech “Ouch”.
Have you watch it? If no, go watch it esp. if you are looking to be humored after a long day at work.
If you read 2nd June’s post, you will learnt that I played an improv game with a group of P4 - 6 kids. It is very simple actually. You can try it too at your meetings or social events. Get the audience to call out 5 random words or sentences. In my case:
Maverick
Food Court
Volcano
Rotten Cheese
A Bowl of Hot Soup
Get a volunteer up on stage and start telling the story by weaving in the words, in whichever order he wants. Optional: They can repeat the words OR go in a particular order like bottom-up. It’s all up to you!
The Public Speaking Blog has gone for nearly a month of hiatus because of a whirlwind of events that I have been involved in. The good news is… I am back!

Before I share with you Jim Key’s thoughts on how you measure your speaking success, let me give you an update of what have been happening for the month of May.
