Last evening, while toasting around, I had a good time at Sema Toastmasters Club. Sema is one of the four Toastmasters clubs in Kenya. Its members prefer to add the most vibrant, I agree with the vibrant. I heard seven speeches and evaluated one.
My take away came during the evaluations. We were advised that we should always start with the point then the supporting material, the examples or the illustration. When you start with the illustration(s) the listeners make their own assumptions what your point is long before you make your point known. By then it might too late to change them.
