General Information

Table Topics Evaluator 

1. TABLE TOPICS EVALUATOR - ROLE INTRODUCTION

Topics is the "fun" section of a Toastmasters meeting where we all get to practice the art of impromptu speaking. The purpose of the Topics Session is twofold:


  • It enables us to develop the skills of impromptu speaking

  • It provides a speaking opportunity for anybody who is not otherwise included in the meeting programme.


The Table Topics Evaluator provided feedback to all of the Table Topics Speakers to help them become more confident and effective.

2. ACTIONS & RESPONSIBILITIES


  • If, through extreme and unavoidable circumstances, you find that you are unable to carry out this role you will need to find a replacement. Please liaise with the Toastmaster in finding a suitable replacement.


3. TABLE TOPICS EVALUATOR - THE ROLE At the Meeting.


  • Arrive in good time and sit where you have a good view of the speakers but can also judge how they will be perceived by the whole room.

  • Prepare a brief evaluation of each speaker. Normally this should be based on the Commend; Recommend; Commend format.

  • The number of speakers each evening can vary but the time-slot is normally unchanged so the level of detail given to each speaker will need to be adjusted accordingly.


Finally, if you have not completed your Competent Leadership Award and still need this role signed-up you should: (A) give your CL manual to another London Athenians member before the meeting starts with the required role identified and ask her/him to complete the required section; and (B) ensure you cover all of the objectives of the selected CL Project during your performance of the role.
