Hertfordshire
Speakers Club Meeting
It was
another great evening at Hertfordshire Speakers Club, with a visit from Area 20
Director Wojtek Zujla, seven visitors from local clubs and two guests from the
local community.
The theme
of the evening ‘Storytelling’ chimed
well with the members and guests. Davina, a consummate story teller,
facilitated a lively interactive session.

I particularly
liked the option to retell the story using pictures or words. Nina shared her story
and her drawings with me, and it’s good to share it with you so you can make up
your own story.

The room
buzzed with excitement all evening as we shared our stories. Earlier two
members, Catherine and Elizabeth gave prepared speeches with stories at the
heart of each speech.

The photos enhance a lot the post, almost as we were there too.
Brief and to the point, well done Elizabeth.
Julie, the story I told was called Julie, The Gem. It was all about meeting you and the gems of wit and wisdom that you have shared with me and others. It was well received.
A lighter post in words, with more pictures. I am left wondering how this relates to pathways.
Thank you Elizabeth, it was a learning experience for me too. I'm glad the story-boarding worked, especially that some people chose to draw. It is a standard method, but I can't do it! I now know I definitely can't run a workshop alone, without support from other people. Having a timer (Bob Ferguson) and a body/voice coach (Dorna Bowjaran) really helped. And next time I'll make my instructions clearer, so hopefully allowing more time for telling.
Sounds like a great evening. A very strong way of conveying a message and engaging with the audience.
Very light but interesting blog Elizabeth. This appeared to be a fun evening. I would really like to join to interact and boost my confidence amongst other things. Maybe reading these blogs would be a start in the right direction. wishing you the best in your endeavours
John - Thanks for feedback.
Both speeches on the night were Pathways speeches and my story was all about meeting Julie 'The Gem' Kertesz and her passion for Pathways. I did not go into detail in the blog as I wanted to focus on Davina's Storytelling workshop.
Pathway stories to come.
Looks like another great evening at the club - your blog is a handy way to keep up to speed with meetings :-) Thank you for that!
Sounds like a lively and stimulating evening; interesting people with interesting stories to tell. Looking forward to the next update. Many thanks.
Sorry I missed it; seemed like it was truly a great evening. Hope I get to see her some time!
A meeting packed with fellowship, variety,and communication. Mobile friendly blog. A tip engagement = emotion plus enthusiam. So reporting on the emotional core substance of the stories would elevate engagement.
