Instead of the Table Topic Master, Everyone in the meeting who got to choose someone who should stand before the audience and speaking on their feet this time and they could also picked one question or statement out of four in the cue cards. A bit different from the usual one.

One of a guest expressed her opinion if Indonesia was chosen as the host of World Cup 2010 and as the Sport ministry of Indonesia, she would built the infrastructure to support the event and would also promoted Indonesia’s culture and uniqueness to the world.

Prepared Speech Session this evening presented several different level of speakers and this was the one what made this meeting a moment to remember. Loves the variety !

“If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too”

The prepared speech session concluded with an Advance Manual Speech from CC CL Lola Defin which delivered Story Telling – The Folk Tale with a title : “ All is Well in Love and War.” The Fairy tale of Joko Dolog statue enlightened us so much, It wasn’t only about a folktale of a statue but a message of morality beneath the story. This was about how an honesty played a role in the life of a man. The remarkable way of how Lola delivered the story telling made us visualized all of the details in our mind, she captured the audience attention with her lines and this made her the best prepared speaker this evening.

Another Round of Applause.... Standing Ovation....

Fellow Toastmasters,

Imagine... You were standing on a stage. Right in front of you was a sea of people...hundreds of them... It was so bright up there, you could hardly see them. And on top of that, your eyes were almost blinded by the flashes coming out from those big professional cameras... The charming Presenter shook your hand, hugged you, landed sweet congratulatory kisses on both your cheeks, and with a never-ending smile he handed you the trophy and said, "Congratulations. Congratulations." You could hear cheering...people screaming your name...continuous applause...and suddenly...it became quite.

WHAT HAPPENED? Oh well...it's time for you to give your speech. You just won the Oscar! It's time for you to say something. Uh-ohh...what are you gonna say? Time is limited. Think think think. Another lame "Thank You" speech as most people usually deliver? Or something that will be meaningful that people will always remember? Do you even know what to say? You'd better...because whatever you are going to say in those 1-2 minutes will make you look smart and charming or plain dumb and boring. Uh-oh? What are you gonna do? Come on come on...

“ Spring is associated to time of growth, renewal, and new life. This term is also expressed as a Metaphor for the start of better times and better life. Many flowering plants bloom this time of year such as magnolias, cherries, quince and august “.

Our TOM of tonight’s meeting, TM Fetty Kartini explained a glance of Spring season to the audience at the opening sessions. She also asked CTM CL Mike Nicholson to share his childhood experience when he was still in UK and how spring time felt like in his hometown. The blooming flowers and fallen leaves in Mike’s backyard made him so happy and enjoyed his moments of spring back then. Mike’s experience spread the sense of Spring to the audience that night who were mostly never felt how spring was like since Indonesia is not a four seasons country.

The audience of tonight’s meeting was “blooming” when TM Alvin Anwari led the table topic session, Three questions thrown out to the audience who were anxiously waiting to be chosen. CC Thomas Alfiandes chose “ Peter Pan “ as the character which really reflected himself when he was asked to choose one of the cartoon character who could represent him the most. Meanwhile, TM Matthew Horkey expressed his mind about Spring in a smart and elegant way where he associated the blooming times of spring with new beginning and a time to growth as well as develop as a person. What an inspiring speech! Most people in the audience liked the speech so much and eventually he was chosen as the Best Table Topic Speaker in the Hall of Fame session.

“ Angry is good and normal so Get Angry, People ! “

TM Noortanti Kusumastuti brought a new concept and horizon of Angry to the mindset of every audience tonight. Truly brilliant how she presented the other side of Angry in her BM 3 Project with the title “ Aarrggggghhh ……. “ A twist of mind contrary to the general thought of every people. Angry should be expressed ! and it should not be holding in since it will effect our health. The Fact is that angry is a healthy, normal emotion when you know how to express it appropriately and could deal with the situation in a positive way.

In her childhood life, she was taught by her parents that Angry should not be released. She should stepped back and calm her self down when it attacked her and should not let the anger controlled her. “ Take a deep breath and count to three to let go the feeling of angry !“ advised her parents. Her one of a kind speech achieved its purpose in persuading the audience to vote for her and titled her as the Best Prepared Speaker.

TM Yenie Tanzino delivered her BM 2 – Organize your speech with the title “ When You Pay Peanut, You Get Monkey “ . Her travelling experience was so funny and made everybody smile and laugh. She delivered her speech hilariously. Everyone in the meeting was entertained with her story and we got the tips and trick as a back packer traveller as well.

Both of our International Speech Representatives in the Area Level delivered their dazzling speeches. TM Matthew Horkey who delivered the speech of “ Your Most Valuable Asset “ explained how Health is the most valuable asset for everyone and should be taking care of. He also gave us a glimpse on his occupation as a chiropractor. TM Muqlazh Yusufi delivered his BM 9 speech - Persuade with power with the title “ The Greatest Treasure “ and was evaluated by CTM CL Mike Nicholson. His powerful speech truly persuaded the audience to look at Books as the Greatest Treasure of all times.

The prepared speech session concluded with the speech from ACB CL Indriati Permanasari - AM # 2 Interpersonal Com - The Succesful Negotiator and the title was “ Everything is negotiable“. The Negotiation’s role play was about sponsorship proposal to support the event of “Puteri Indonesia“ which was organized by Mustika Ratu. As a Public Relations Officer who was a representative of Mustika Ratu, Indri could developed her negotiation skill very well and successfully persuaded her client who was an owner of a motorcycle producer in Indonesia to be the event’s sponsor. Everything is indeed negotiable once you implemented all of those negotiation tips from our Club’s President. What a performance!

Tonight’s meeting was slightly different. All of the audience were asked to be silent evaluators for our International Speech Contest Representatives. They should gave feed back, advises as well as evaluation for these gentlemen. This is very essential for their improvement prior to the Area Level contest which will be held within next few weeks

Evaluation Sessions was indeed a session which shouldn’t be missed out this time since All of our best Evaluators could be there and evaluated those prepared speakers. Steve Bowen’s evaluation was not only enlightened the speaker but the audience as well. Cindy Resita and Mike Nicholson were also gave an exceptional evaluations for TM Noortanti and TM Muqlazh Yusufi who were then titled them as the Best Evaluator in the Hall Of Fame Session. Yes ! We had two Best Evaluators voted by the audience in the meeting that night.

The Meeting really “fling” everyone’s mind about spring this time. The members and guests of the Club blossom all night long during the meeting.

Minutes of Meeting " Aal Izz Well "

2010-03-01T00:51:00.001-08:00

British Toastmasters Club - "AAL IZZ WELL” - Feb 18, 2010

“ When you start a conversation with strangers just relax because Aal Izz Well “

There are four elements in making an interesting conversation with anyone which are:

Confident
Interesting to others
Listening very closely
Mutual Respect

ACB CL Indriati Permana Sari astonished audience in the prepared speech session with her Advance Manual 1 Interpersonal Communication “Conversing with Ease”. She convinced us that talking to stranger is not something to be avoid and afraid of and instead, it should be considered as an enjoyable and exciting moments to get to know more interesting people. Those elements presented were indeed a vital skill that a good communicator should have! TM Yenny Tanzino delivered the Ice Breaker “ He Died While He Was Still Alive “ and brought the other side of her who could cracked of the fear shell of the uncertainty and got out of the comfort zone egg as she transformed herself and became a dedicated teacher for children. She really is an eager member and stepped up in such a sort time to deliver her first prepared speech. Only a single day prior to “D Day” of her Basic Manual 1 Speech Project she jointed as the member of BTMC. What a motivated lady! The next impressive speech was delivered by TM Ole-Anders Hogstad in his Basic Manual 3 Speech who shared his tips on “ Invest in Property Development”. Everyone had a better understanding on how to find a good property for investment now then they already got those clues from TM Ole and could be more aware on how to deal with those tempting marketing adds of housing estates from now on.

Our TM Bobby Kalwani was truly made some differences this time, He sang a song and dance for us all that night. I believe the spirit of Toastmasters has got in to him deeply and made him an entertaining speaker. Our adorable TOM brought those funny and smart jokes along with him and turned our meeting in a colorful and vibrant atmosphere. We learned more from him about the mosaic of art, culture and tradition which India offered to the rest of the world through bollywood movies where India, the land of storehouse of beauty, dream, tradition and verve is shared and become famous. “ The Three Idiots “ movie which was played inspired us to release our self and relax in dealing with problems because “ Aal Izz Well “ when you always remind your self How GOD really is Great and a savior for human kind ! As our TOM Bobby Kalwani Quoted , “ Don’t tell GOD how big your problem is, but tell the Problem how big your GOD is ! “

The Table Topic Session was indeed full of excitement on the table since TM Fetty Kartini made a one of a kind session. She brought four rolls of Bollywood pictures actress and actors to be passed around to the audience while a soundtrack of “3 Idiots” movie played and whoever got the rolls must answered the questions thrown out by our Table Topic Master related to those pictures. Quite surprisingly to know the responses from those who got the rolls and spoke up their mind on their feet. Fajar, one of the guest who attended the meeting for a very first time and got the rolls of the ” 3 idiots actors picture ‘ shared us the moments when he felt being an idiot in his life and one of them was that when he felt nervous, he counted the floor tiles to ease the nervousness and made him more relax. His spontaneous and hilarious answers got him self the title of the Best Table Topic Speaker in the Hall Of Fame Session. Not to be missed at this session was, our Ms. President of BTMC, ACB CL Indriati Permanasari titled as both Best Prepared Speaker and Best Evaluator. Remarkable! She’s truly is an inspiration.

BTMC’s meeting finished strong by our TOM, TM Bobby Kalwani off course who fulfill his promise to sing some India’s songs along with its unique dances. He really got us a glimpse through India’s romantic stories and life. It’s an exceptional meeting indeed! Everyone laughed out loud and thrown out funny lines and jokes among each other and become happier and healthier that night!

"Valenchine" Meeting

2010-02-16T20:28:00.001-08:00

MINUTES OF MEETING

BTMC - "ValenChiNe" - Thursday, February 11, 2009

Falling in love !

is a euphoric experience for human, an important experience but a confusing phenomenon for humankind. In fact it makes me a headache !

Our most basic emotional need is not to fall in love but to be genuinely loved by another. When we feel unloved we will feel abandoned and ignored by our couple That’s the reason for us to learn more in languages of love so that we could have a better understanding of our couple and avoid those quarrels..

Let me share with you those languages of love ..

In the prepared speech session, TM Fetty Kartini delivered her Basic Manual 3 speech with the title “ Languages of Love “ which was very suitable to the occasion and theme of the meeting “ Valenchine”, continued by TM Matthew Horkey with his Basic Manual 4 which expressed his amazing journey before he ended up in Indonesia and has decided to live in Jakarta to serve and dedicate his life as a Chiropractor doctor after his previous work in Malaysia. TM Ray Asnar conquered his nervousness with his informative speech and finally won the best speaker of the evening. ACB CL Thomas Alfiandes concluded the prepared speeches session with his persuasive speech – Conquering the Cold Call with the title “ Value Proposition “ . Thomas really pulled himself in delivering his speech and seemed very relax and persuasive in presenting his product to Cindy who was the prospective buyer of his software product.

The meeting was opened with new Club Ex- Co Installment ceremony. TM Fetty Kartini was elected as a secretary of the Club and inducted by Area Governor CC CL Ria Ardiningtyas. After the pledge, CC CL Ria gave a pin of Ex-co to TM Fetty as the remark of her new role. Let us encourage and support TM Fetty to take up this new role as an opportunity for her to be a better leader.

What was really made us all thrilled is always our cheerful VPE CC Cindy Resita who was being the Toastmaster of the Meeting. There was a true excitement in the air at that time when everybody just tried to answer those trivia thrown out by Cindy. Everyone just wants to grab the piece of delicious chocolate bars which will be given as a gift to members or guests in the meeting who could answer her trivia. It was indeed a Fun moment for everyone who could took a bite of chocolate although he / she didn’t win the game, since the winner shared his / her chocolate with everyone else.

A Table Topic Session is truly an enjoyable session as well, Angpao envelopes were given to the audience and the ones who got a heart should answer the questions from TM Yulia Tanuwidjaja. WOW ! Everyone just so excited and hold their breath when they opened up their envelopes and finally got those hearts out. Questions then just thrown out to those people and the lines of answers could enrich everyone’s knowledge.

We could heard laughter and saw smile in the face of guests who felt nervous to speak on their feet at their very first time. I, my self will definitely remembered those moments.

Overall, the meeting was a blast and the celebration of “ Valenchine “ could lift up everyone’s spirit.

The meeting was wrapped up with a speech from our gorgeous, one and only President of BTMC Indriati Permanasari

“ Our Lovely President of BTMC announced the Winners in the Hall of Fame session “

TM Ray Asnar smile in charm while receiving the award of “ The Best Prepared Speech Speaker “ with his speech title “ Nervousness “

The Funny and adorable TM Bobby Kalwani received the award as the “ Best Table Topic Speaker “

WOW ! Two best Evaluators were awarded in this meeting ..

Mike Nicholson and TM Primadiansyah

What a night to remember !

BTMC - "Scottish Icons" (Thursday, January 28, 2009)

2010-01-21T07:32:00.001-08:00

---------- Forwarded message ----------

O-genki Desu Ka...FELLOW TOASTMASTERS....
(read: How are you, Fellow Toastmasters?)

"O-genki desu ka." is the Japanese for "How are you," just in case some of you are wondering. ^_^

You see...we always learn something as a Toastmaster in a Toastmasters meeting. Whether we come just as a guest, a meeting participant, a role-taker, an Ex-Co member, a prepared speaker, or a mentor, there is always an ample opportunity to learn something out of a Toastmasters meeting and through our interaction with our fellow Toastmasters. Maybe we learn about a new English expression that we never knew before. Maybe we learn about a proper use of grammar that we were never aware of before. Maybe we learn how to motivate a new member who seem to be rather shy or afraid to speak in public. Maybe we learn about a life lesson from a story that a prepared speaker deliver in her speech. Maybe we learn how to be able to speak in an organized, effective manner in such a short time through our participation in a Table Topic session.

You see...there is always something we can learn from each other. There is always something we can learn from Toastmasters.

Last year we learned about a country called United Kingdom through our special meeting under the theme of "The Taste of British." NOW....let us learn something about that one state in United Kingdom called....SCOTLAND!!!!!! Whisky...bagpipes...the kilts...short-breads...Arthur Conan Doyle...Wet Wet Wet...Edinburgh...

2009-12-02T02:12:00.001-08:00

Hello Fellow British Toastmasters,

Can't believe it is already the last month of 2009. I am already counting down to my Christmas break that is coming up in 2 weeks. Yupppieee....

Just want to remind you all once again to SAVE THE DATE for Thursday, December 17, 2009. Our club will be holding a special meeting that is slightly different from the ordinary. It will be a "Speaking After Dinner" meeting. The venue will be off MAC. Most likely it will be at the Grand Indonesia / Plaza Indonesia and vicinity. Somewhere there, for sure.

If any of you is interested to assist organizing this Dec 17 special meeting, please contact me directly at 0813 8076 9959 or cindyresita@gmail.com. Any help...any crazy, weird, fun ideas...will be very welcome!

On top of that, we are holding a Membership Participation Contest for this special meeting. There are 2 purposes of holding this contest. First is to invite all members of British Toastmasters Club to get involved in meeting planning and preparation. Many of you must have many fun, unique, extraordinary ideas that can be implemented to make our meeting more interesting, more enticing, and more educating. Therefore, for the first part of the contest, we will be choosing for:

The 3 Best Meeting Theme ideas (and how these themes should be implemented) --- winning themes will be used for our next meetings in 2010
The 3 Best, Most Creative Table Topic ideas --- these ideas will be implemented in our next meetings in 2010

The second purpose of this Membership Participation Contest is to give recognition and public appreciation to some of our fellow Toastmasters who have shown and proven their hard-work, dedication, and commitment to the Toastmasters program in general and to our club in particular. Therefore, for the second part of the contest, we will be choosing for:

Most Improved Speaker (Club member we think has improved the most in communication skill)
Most Dependable Toastmaster (Club member we think is the most reliable in doing assigned jobs and will happily take on a last minute task when needed)
Step-Up Toastmaster (Club Member recognized for his/her effort to "step-up" and fill any needed roles without warning or preparation)

I will be sending the on-line survey ballot for this Membership Participation Contest by tomorrow, Thursday, December 3, 2009.

British Toastmasters Club Meeting - The Taste of British - Nov 26, 2009

2009-12-01T10:03:00.001-08:00

Do you know that "Union Jack" is the term used to refer to the British flag which is made up of the flags of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom?

That is one of the many interesting fun facts we learned together during our club meeting last week on Thursday, November 26, 2009 - The Taste of British. It was a FUN FUN meeting, especially since we had TM Mike Nicholson, one of our experts in "everything about British," as the TOM of the night. Good job, Mike! And thank you for all the cool British accessories you brought to the meeting, for displaying and explaining them to the audience.

The meeting was opened with new member induction ceremony to welcome our new members TM Miwa Suzuki and TM Mieke Rumambi into British Toastmasters Club. Our VPM, CC Lola Delfin, who pretended being Queen Elizabeth II that night, was the one who led this ceremony. As our new fellow Toastmasters Miwa and Mieke have agreed upon the Toastmaster's Promise by saying "I Do" during the induction ceremony, let us not forget to do our part as "more senior" Toastmasters to support their journey with us in becoming a better speaker, a more influential leader.

What was really extraordinary about our club's meeting last week was the name-tag. Every attendee was required to wear a name-tag of a famous British character, from a writer to a member of the Royal family, from a recent star to an ancient person...David Beckham, Charlie Chaplin, King Arthur, Queen Elizabeth II, Hugh Grant, and many more. Whichever name-tag the attendee chose to wear, he/she was required to pretend being such character until the meeting ended. It was indeed FUN seeing how all this arrangement came along during the Table Topic session where our King Arthur, Lord Nelson, David Beckham, and Charlie Chaplin wannabe's answered the simple, yet intriguing table topic questions thrown out by our Table Topic Master, CC Cindy Resita.

We had three prepared speakers that night. Our first speaker was TM Miwa Suzuki who delivered a speech about her life history and how she finally ended living in Jakarta after years of working as a flight attendant, a Certified Public Accountant, and also an Investment Banker. She was evaluated by ACB CL Indriati Permanasari. The second speaker was our one and only TM Didi Mujayadi, one of the most diligent and dedicated members of our club who is always there in our club meeting either it rains or shines. TM Didi delivered a speech about how things that we consider simple or unimportant can actually become disasters. He was evaluated by TM Ted Palawi, our guest evaluator from Metropolitan Toastmasters Club. Our last speaker of the day was our one and only club President ACB CL Indriati Permanasari. She delivered a speech from Advanced Manual Special Occasion Speeches - The Roast. And whom did she roast during the speech? Guess what....it was Enid Blyton a.k.a CC Cindy Resita, our VPE. And who evaluated her? Oh no...Enid Blyton as well. Ck ck ck. But hey...it was indeed a good "roast," especially when you saw how CC Cindy reacted to the jokes and anecdotes ACB CL Indri delivered during her speech.

Overall, as our General Evaluator of the day - Queen Elizabeth II said during her evaluation session, it was indeed a fun, fantastic, educational meeting. Not only we learned about communication and trained ourselves to be better communicators, we also learned a lot about anything related to "British." Maybe next...we can have a Japanese night? Indian night? Indonesian night? Javanese night? East Indonesian night? etc. etc. This will open up more opportunities for all of us to learn about our own and other countries' cultures, histories, and traditions.

Thank you for everyone who volunteered taking roles during the meeting --- TM Yulia as Um-Ah Counter, TM Fetty as Grammarian, TM Mieke as Ballot Counter, and of course CC Shabrina as the SAA of the meeting. Thank you also for all of you who came. We are all looking forward to seeing you in our next meeting on Thursday, December 10, 2009.

SAVE THE DATE!!! Thursday, December 17, 2009.

2009-11-18T06:22:00.001-08:00

MY FELLOW BRITISH TOASTMASTERS CLUBBERS....^^

I just want to remind you to save the date in your calendar for Thursday, December 17, 2009.

We will be having a special BTMC meeting that will be held outside of The MAC. This will be a "Speaking After Dinner" meeting where we all will have a good, rather fancy (of course...no more nasi goreng...) together, that will be followed with speaking, sharing, and toasting sessions afterward. This Dec 17 meeting will also be our last British Toastmasters Club meeting for the year 2009 (hiks...hiks...), so you'd better don't miss it!!!!

Actually, we are still looking for a venue that is located along Jl. Jenderal Sudirman and MH. Thamrin. Preferably a restaurant where the food is affordable yet decent, catered buffet style, and has a private room for us to use for approximately 2 - 3 hours (including preparation). If any of you have any connections...or know a place with such criteria...please let us know.

THANKS!!!!!

Tonight's meeting was a blast!!!! Our club just had 2 new Competent Communicators. Please give a big round of applause to CC Shabrina Mukhlasianti & CC Lola Delfin!!!! Clap...clap...clap... They delivered impressive speeches tonight; ones that inspired us as audience, ones that showcased the various public speaking skills they have learned and gained from delivering their previous 9 basic manual speeches, and from all other Toastmasters trainings they have received since the day they joined British Toastmasters Club.

Our new member TM Noor Tanti also gave an impressive Ice Breaker speech which allowed us to discover that she has such a firing passion for movies. TM Tanti, let us watch that upcoming movie "2012" together as we discussed last week on the phone, shall we? Any other Toastmasters interested to join us? ;-P You are all very welcome to do so.

Big thanks for the others who have taken meeting roles to ensure that our meeting went smoothly...TM Raj as TOM, TM Steve as GE, TM Didi as Um-Ah Counter, TM Onny as Ballot Counter, TM Mike as Evaluator, and last but not least our Ms. President TM Indri who delivered a special educational session "Moment of Truth."

We will be meeting again on Thursday, November 26. So...SAVE THE DATE!!!! We will have a special theme on that day...anything related to British...British flag, British accent, English tea, The Beatles, David Beckham (oopppsss...), Manchaster United (Go TM Raj!!!), Spice Girls, Queen of England, Prince William (ohh...so handsome...), TM Steve Bowen (hehehehehe...;-P), the late Lady Diana, etc, etc. It will be special. So...make sure YOU COME!!!! AND if you have any inputs on how to make this upcoming meeting more festive and more "British," please feel free to let us know!

Prepared speakers scheduled for November 26 are: TM Indri (AM), TM Onny (BM 1), TM Didi (BM 2), TM (Gusni BM 2). All scheduled speakers...please make sure you prepare for the speeches, 'kay?

Message for BTMC-errs

2009-11-01T03:20:00.003-08:00

Greetings fellow BTMC-errs!!!

How was your Toastmasters journey so far? We sincerely hope that the self-paced program has empowered you to achieve your full potential and improve your speaking, listening, thinking skills, vital skills that help you become more successful in your personal and professional lives.

We also would like to thank you for participating in the membership survey. The committee is keen to ensure that our Toastmasters club is meeting your needs. We believe that effective learning is learning by doing and improving through continuous practice and evaluation. We will make sure that you’ll practice in a friendly, supportive environment, with people who are there for the same reasons you are, to become better communicators and leaders.

As time goes by, we are continually strived to keep your excitement by doing something different in our meetings. On October 22, we held a special event for celebrating “85^th Anniversary of Toastmasters International”. Our little party was fun and everyone was in the spirit of celebration. We had an Educational Session with topic “Take the Terror out of Talk”, which taken from The Better Speaker Series. It was well presented by our guest speaker, DTM Teddy Lesmana. We hope this educational session has helped members in gaining information about techniques for overcoming nervousness when speaking. In the future, we are planning to give some educational sessions for members. In the middle of that celebration, our member, Toastmasters Cindy Resita, received an Educational Achievement and titled as “Competent Communicator”(CC), after she had completed her 10 projects.

On October 29, we also made variety on our traditional meeting format and conducted a Joint Meeting with Jakarta Toastmasters Club. We had a special theme “Happy Halloween”. It was a great spooky night..:), since we had members wore costumes such as witch, mask from “Scream the Movie”, gothic women, etc. But, it was also fun since we had a fairy, pirates, fortune teller, and girls with masquerade :) We had two TOMs, debate session, and Best Costume Competition.

Basically, we understood that “Toastmaster is like a love affair. Everything is exciting at first and then if you’re not careful, it can become dull and routine.” So, he we hope these variations will add a new dimension to our Toastmasters Training and keep everyone fresh.

We also should be proud that one of our members, Steve Bowen, had made it to District Level for Evaluation Speech Contest. We believe it was a journey of experience. We are encouraging all of you to prepare for upcoming International & Table Topic Club Speech Contest which approximately will be held on February 2010.

Another thing that members should know is that our club is working to accomplish goals from the Distinguished Club Program (DCP) . These goals are:

1. Two CC’s

2. Two more CC’s

3. One AC Bronze/Silver/Gold

4. One CL, AL Bronze, AL Silver or DTM.

5. One more CL, AL Bronze, AL Silver or DTM

6. Four New Members

7. Four more New Members

8. Minimum of 4 Clubs officers trained during each of two training periods.

9. One membership renewal report and one club officer list submitted on time.

The British Toastmasters Club aim for “President’s Distinguished Club status”, which 9 of 10 goals should be achieved. Basically, this DCP focusing on 2 areas :

· Educational Award : It determines our club’s success in helping its member learn not only speaking but leadership skill as well.

· Membership: In order to conduct the educational program, a club should have at least 20 members. We should continually strive to bring in new members to combat natural membership turnover, and retain current ones.

So, we need to work together to achieve these goals, which mean at the end of the day, we help bringing out the best in each of us. Please bring your friends or colleagues to visit our meeting.

Last but not least, if u had any suggestion for our club, feel free to contact our VP Membership or other club officers.

Let’s move this club forward.

Best Regards,

Indriati Permanasari

Club President

GOOD NEWS BTMC-ers... (and you who is reading this blog and not yet a Toastmaster or a BTMC member ;-P)

Our fellow Toastmasters, CTM CL Steve Bowen, returned home on Saturday evening, September 12, 2009 after competing at both the Area I-3 Speech Evaluation & Humorous Speech Contests with the titles of "First Place" for the Speech Evaluation Contest and "First Runner-up" for the Humorous Speech Contest. Congratulations, TM Steve! Hip...hip...hooray for BTMC!!! It's great to be able to send another representative from our beloved club to compete at the Division level. Hopefully TM Steve will also be able to reach the moon and represent our Division to the District level this October 2009. Good job, TM Steve! And please make sure you do your best again on the Division level contest. ;-P

That evening we also had two other great, awesome, dedicated BTMC-ers competing in the contests. They are TM Shabrina Mukhlasianti competing in the Humorous Speech contest and TM Muchammad Zulkarnain competing in the Speech Evaluation contest. They did a very good job during the competition. And I am sure by participating in the contest, whether they realize it, both TM Shabrina and TM Zul have stretched their public speaking skills to an even higher level. Therefore....BIG APPLAUSE to both of them and THANK YOU for representing BTMC in the Area level Contest.

The Division Level Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2009. Venue and time will be announced soon. Please come and join us to cheer for our fellow Toastmasters Steve Bowen and of course...to just chill out, meet people, and have a good time. ^_^

Did Obama's Body Language Match His Rhetoric? - Conversation Starter - HarvardBusiness.org

2009-07-31T01:01:00.001-07:00

Every communication is two conversations: the content and the body language. When the two are aligned, a speaker can be powerful — even charismatic. When they are not aligned, the audience believes the non-verbal every time.

via blogs.harvardbusiness.org

An interesting post at Harvard Business on the importance of body language. Barack Obama is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished speakers in world politics. This article offers a critique of his body language and demonstrates how essential it is to match the visual and the verbal messages.

Fellow Toastmasters,

At the end of each year, we look back to the past year and set our goals for the coming one. And this is when we start making our New Year’s Resolutions. We start analyzing our lifestyle and habits and eventually make a commitment about the changes and improvements we need to make.

And now it’s Mid-Year, which of your New Years resolutions has you accomplished so far? Do you have any lingering resolutions? Or are you already done?

How about your personal goals in Toastmasters? What have you achieved so far?

If things have not changed as much as you hoped, here’s your chance, you still have six months to hit your target.
Just remember, “Where there is a will there is a way”.

Come and share with us at:
