Introduction
- Ask audience if they are familiar with the famous Sculpture Donatello
- Brief hint of who is donatello - not the ninja turtle
- "Did you know"... another famous sculpture donot-tell-you
- Greet audience
Body
- Profile of Donatello
- Italian sculpture, known in the medieval times, and he is famous
- Describe his style of sculpture -
- starts from the top towards the base/foundation
- face first, make it perfect then move to the body
- this became the standard
- all other styles were gauge base on Donatello works
- Finish product is perfect
- Profile of Donot-tell-you
- Italian sculpture, works in remote area, virtually unknown
- Describe his style of sculpture
- starts from the bottom towards the top
- he argues that he wants to make sure foundation is solid before proceeding
- his style was different and generally not accepted
- Finish product is also perfect
- Comparison of finish products
- similar with almost no difference
- both achieves their purpose
- Toastmasters and individual styles
- Indians do it differently
- Focus on form, delivery, and structure
- Positive feedback is highly encourage
- More encouraging
- Filipinos does it different
- Focus on message and content
- Constructive strong feedback is encourage
- Less on positive - argues that the speakers will not grow on this
- More on recommendation - argues that these are something that the speaker can benefit and can grow on
- Finish product of both styles are same - perfect Toastmasters
Closing
- Lessons learned
- Filipinos should not seek their own style among Indians, vis-a-vis
- Adapt to the style of club, area, or culture
- Arabs may need improvement on the command in language, but they are rich on ideas, confidence, etc
- Read or understand beyond the black-and-white
- Try to fill yourself in their shoes
- Leadership should be the bridge not the walls
- Expose their clubs to others
- Cross-membership (dual membership) with other nationalities
- Pick up and learn from different clubs
- We are here to learn, help and encourage each other, and provide a stage for improvement
- Competition is not the main aspect of Toastmastering, growth is!
