12:20: Toastmaster introduced the day’s first speaker, Doug Goodman.
12:21: The purpose of Doug’s speech was “show what you mean.” Doug related being a Toastmaster to learning how to fly and being a pilot. Flying takes mental and physical power and good communication skills – also traits of a well-trained Toastmaster!

12:31: Jim’s speech titled “Good to Great” focused on the three major steps we can take to be a GREAT human being and Toastmaster.

He also suggests figuring out which functionary positions in a Toastmaster meeting make us feel “safe” and “unsafe” and volunteering to fill “unsafe” roles in meetings. And lastly he suggests brainstorming a list of special moments and memories from our lives – these make great speech topics! People love to hear personal stories and experiences from speakers.
