Meeting recap: Appreciation

When was the last time you gave a positive comment to a friend or work colleague? ๐Ÿค” Sometimes we get caught up in our day to day activities, that we forget to appreciate those around us.

With the theme “Give a compliment” our Toastmaster of the evening, Gaby, encouraged us to offer a smile ๐Ÿ˜Š or some words of praise to the people in our everyday life. After all, positive feedback is something we practice at Noris.

On the table topics, Alex challenged us to give an elevator pitch ๐ŸŽค to different personalities, from Angela Merkel to Elon Musk and Taylor Swift. During the prepared speeches, Axel broke the ice for his Presentation Mastery path and with just 2 pens ๐Ÿ–Š he explained principles such as functionality and usability. Michael presented the second speech of the evening, where he showed us how to track our goals ๐ŸŽฏ and encouraged us to keep striving for them.

Margaret led the evaluation team ๐Ÿ“ supported by Mia and Barbara as speech evaluators, Sebastjan, who challenged himself taking both the Ah counter and Grammarian roles, while Robert diligently performed as Timer for the very first time ๐Ÿ‘

To close with a big bang, the two guests in attendance decided to become club members. Hooray! ๐ŸŽ‰
