TABLE TOPICS
Opportunity to Start great Conversations
TABLE TOPICS is the most challenging part of a Toastmasters meeting.
Most of the talking we do every day – simple conversation – is significant speaking. Yet for some members, TABLE TOPICS™ is the most challenging part of a Toastmasters meeting.
Table Topics continues a long-standing Toastmasters tradition – every member speaks at a meeting. But it’s about more than just carrying on an anxiety-ridden tradition. Table Topics is about developing your ability to organize your thoughts quickly and respond to an impromptu question or topic.
The Topicsmaster will state the question or topic briefly and then call on a respondent. Each speaker receives a different topic or question and participants are called on at random.
When you’re asked to respond to a topic, stand next to your chair and give your response. Your response should last one to two minutes.
Now, take a deep breath and get ready to be remarkable Speech.
