Everything Toastmasters

2 more timer websites

Here are two more timer websites.  They are not as flexible as the program on this blog that you can download for advanced speeches with different times but these sites do work.

Timer Site #1

Timer Site #2

Again, these can be used from any computer.....you just cannot download them and set your specific speech times.

This is a dandy little program I found for preparing Toastmaster speeches.  It says that you must register it, but it works fine by just installing it.  You can tell it the maximum length of any speech.  It will then calculate the qualifying times.  The screen will turn green, yellow, red...just like TM timing lights at a meeting.  When you are finished...just press the spacebar and it stops and tells you the exact time of the speech.

3-2-1-S By Reed Rogers

3-2-1- S Evaluation System - Developed by Reed Rogers, DTM

   

Don's use the words, BUT, HOWEVER, especially after building them up.

Avoid whitewash…..ie: eyes were good hands, ets

Always strive to have 10 ways to say the same thing

Work on having the evaluation unique

   

Don't confuse speaker stroll with pacing

   

Use metaphors/parables

   

Help your speaker come to a conclusion themselves

   

Not every evaluator is Right!

   

Was evaluation inspirational and motivational? Even feel good when giving suggestons

   

Take ownership of your evaluation

   

Always telling people what TO DO….Avoid telling them what NOT TO DO!

   

Instead of saying "you pace"….make the suggestion to pick a spot and talk to that part of the audience. WALK from spot to spot and this avoids pacing!

   

"If I may suggest"…..begin the suggestion (2) part of the evaluation with these words.

   

"The other thing I really liked the most…..[pause]….then continue

   

Key Words: EVEN BETTER

   

Delivery: Talks about facial expressions, stage usage, any noise speaker says or makes that might be annoying

   

Content:
