Father's Day

To commemorate Father’s day that was inaugurated on 12th of November in Indonesia, Jakarta Motivators Toastmasters Club held regular meeting on November 18th with Father’s Day as the theme and Persistent as Word of The Day. Our last week’s main roles were TM Agi as Toastmasters of The Meeting, TM Rizko as The Table Topic Master and TM Lia as General Evaluator.

Agi as Toastmasters of The Meeting

Rizko as Table Topics Master

TM Rizko was a perfect TTM for that evening’s meeting since he is a father and knowing well of how it feels to be a father. No wonder the topic he spoke for each Table Topic’s speakers were closely related to father’s role, including the most memorable memories of the speakers with their fathers and the value their fathers shared with them that made them a better person nowadays. All of the audiences had the opportunity to remembere the sweet memories they share with a person that is often called as the first hero of our life.

As the table topic session ended, there were two prepared speakers who delivered their speeches. TM Yoga was the first speaker who delivered his BM7 project. Because of the meeting room’s electricity was on trouble, TM Yoga could not use the projector to support his presentation. To cope with the situation, he delivered his project as impromptu speech. What an amazing speech, especially for those who saw TM Yoga delivered his speech without any preparation but his knowledge and research that was conducted by him several days before the speech. The jargon of Jakarta Motivators Toastmasters Club “We Are Family” indeed made him feels that he spoke in front of his family, therefore we couldn’t see any nervousness on his impromptu speech.

Risman delivering his BM9

The second prepared speaker was TM Risman who delivered his BM9 entitled (Re) Packaging. He told the members the importance of packaging for our life. He believed this importance because his father told him that life is a competition, thus people should always be ready to compete with other people. So rather than giving reasons of why we failed, it would be better to emphasize our positive size. With this method, he said, his friend was accepted in Harvard Business School with average GPA but with several campus activities. In conclusion, because life is competition, he said that we still have time to improve our life and show it to the world through our packaging.

At the end of the meeting, because we still had time, there were several members who delivered their jokes and made the meeting as a memorable meeting.
