1st Training Meeting of Year 2011

The first training meeting of year 2011 was successfully held on 13th January 2011 at Mark's Lodge Hotel Function Room. It was indeed a good start for the new year as there were about 6 new members attended the training meeting.




Apparently there were two "'Norman Chi"s in the room.



The club's president, CC Alice Kok was the Table Topics Mater. Her table topics consists of questions regarding how members spent their new year's eve, new year resolution, chinese new year and so on, which went well with the New Year theme meeting.


Hasdayana, a dual members of Sandakan Pidato Club and Sandakan Toastmasters Club, presented her ice breaker speech, entitled Getting to Know Me.


From her speech, we all know that she is a very active person and she happens to be the granddaughter of DTM Datuk Hassan's cousin, who also presented his CC7 speech AGAIN!!! entitled Research Your Topic.


He advised the members that the main source of a topic is from your personal experience. Besides that, other people's opinions (OPE) must be also taken into consideration.

The meeting ended with a humour session conducted by CC, CL Shane Ho sharing his first experience when he did his ice breaker speech. He assured to the new members that getting nervous and sweat palms are very normal. He also advised to the new members to get the momentum going once they have started doing their speeches and one day other people will notice there are positive changes in them.

Hopefully, the new members will DARE TO SHINE and become a better communicator, listener and leader in the future.
