As a guest, can I participate ?
You are visiting us to focus on public speaking. You have opportunities to speak during the meeting!
At the start of the session, you will introduce yourself in about 30 seconds : who you are, how public speaking can help you, why you are visiting us, if you have visited another club.
The impromptu speeches (Table Topics®) are a 1 to 2-minute short speech, designed to prepare you for ANY topic. As a guest, you have the opportunity to participate. Be brave and volunteer, however you are not obliged as a visitor. The Table Topic evaluator will give some constructive feedback on your mini speech.
There is also a 10€ entrance contribution per guest to support the room rent. We ask everyone to arrive at 19:00 to socialize, pick up name badges, mix and mingle and meet the guests.
