🎤 Our next Toastmasters meeting is shaping up to be an inspiring one!
We're looking forward to two very different but equally engaging speeches:

🔹 "A Loop in My Life" – An Icebreaker speech by a new member Basma Jedli. The Icebreaker is a special milestone in every Toastmaster's journey, offering us a first glimpse into the speaker's story, experiences, and personality. A great opportunity to get to know a fellow member better!

🔹 "Are You a Leader?" – Presented by one of our more experienced speakers Nadège Anyikoy Olenga. Leadership is often associated with titles and positions, but is that really what makes a leader?

Two more speeches are on the agenda... but their topics remain a surprise! 👀

Whether you're a seasoned speaker or simply curious about Toastmasters, we'd be delighted to welcome you.

Improvisation is not just for comedians. 😃

It is a practical skill you use whenever life does not follow the script: during a meeting, a job interview, a difficult conversation, a presentation, a Q&A session or an unexpected challenge at work.

On Saturday 30 May, Atomic Toastmasters invites you to a practical workshop designed to help you think on your feet, stay calm under pressure and respond with more confidence. 👌

The workshop will be hosted by Nayara, an aviation expert who knows from professional experience what it means to adapt quickly, communicate clearly and make decisions when circumstances change.
During this two-hour session, you will practise simple and effective techniques to:

✅respond more naturally when you are put on the spot
✅structure your thoughts quickly
✅speak with clarity even when you have little time to prepare
✅become more comfortable with uncertainty
✅use improvisation as a communication skill, not as a performance trick

Life in times of AI.

That was yesterday's theme brought by our great Toastmaster of the Evening, Lauriane Harrington. She conducted our meeting with grace, professionalism and always adding great value to us all.

Then, Keyla Calixe Lumeka conducted the Table Topics and gave many of the attendees, amongst whom members and guests, a chance to improvise on a spot a speech about Life in times of AI.

During the network break, we got a chance to catch up, talk and meet new people.

And then came the second part, dedicated to the prepared speeches. It was now up to:
Nadège Anyikoy Olenga
Vancesca Dinh
Nayara Lemes and
Panda LOKHAT

to dazzle us all with their 4-7 minute speeches.

When the time came to evaluate how we did, we were happy to count on Thilo Kreibich as the general evaluator, then on, Oussama EL HADI, Eric Camargo Keyla Calixe Lumeka and Gelnta Mouemin as evaluators and on Michael KAHLA, Hadrien Dony and Salim Abdelli as TAG(Timekeeper, Ah Counter and Grammarian) Team. At Toastmasters, we do believe that feedback is essential to growth and that's why we thank the evaluators and the TAG team for their valuable human return. In times of AI, we may wonder about the risk of running short of human input.

And that's why our meeting was so rewarding yesterday and deserved a special celebration afterwards.

If you also want to be a part of this growth, come to our next meeting, every Monday.
