두 미팅을 연달아 써본다. (890회 & 891회)


1.    890회 미팅의 Theme은 ‘Diversity’, Theme Question은 ‘How have your personal experiences influenced the way you see the world?”이다. 


2.    토마가 ‘눈먼 자들의 나라 (The Country of the Blind) (H. G. 웰스의 책)”를 소개하면서 Diversity의 의미를 새겨준다. ‘Who is normal?’ ‘Who is superior?’


3.    Table Topic Master는 ‘I Stand For the OOO diversity’라는 title로 Race/Ethnicity, Age, Gender, Religious, Disability, Educational, Family structure, Body/Appearance, Geographic, Sexual Orientation(LGBTQ)등에 대한 지지연설을 유도한다. – uniquely ‘Persuasive’ address delivery!! 


4.    첫번째 연설자는 ‘Oncology 101’이라는 주제를 그림과 함께 이해하기 쉽게 전달한다. 두번째 연설자는 ‘Generational Differences in workplaces’라는 주제로, Baby Boomer, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z 이렇게 나눠 그 특징을 이야기 해 준다.


5.    Ice Breaker를 구글 설문지 형식으로 했다. 이번에는 지난번 퍼토마에서 한 것과 달리, 두 클럽에서 한 것을 종합했더니 더 낫다고 한다, 그리고 공통점을 찾고, 특이점을 발견하여 새롭게 시작하는 Path와 연관하여 계획까지 담으면 정말 좋을 것 같다는 피드백을 받았다. (짝꿍으로 부터) ‘Right, that is great!’ 


6.    891회 미팅의 Theme은 ‘Gift from this universe’, Theme Question은 ‘Besides those two gifts, what other gift has the universe given you?’이다. ("The two gifts this universe has given us: the power to love and the ability to question.")

 


7.    답변만 봐도, 오늘 잘 산 거다! “Kindness and encourage”, “Oblivion? Or inability to recall something?”, “Dreams – While night dreams help us begin AGAIN, daydreams give us to POWER to live. Both of dreams are blessing.”, “Strength to recover. We make mistakes but that’s not the end. We become stronger from our mistakes!”, “Eyes that see the world beautifully, eyes that allow me to see people with an open mind”, “Calm mind & resilience”, “Gift 1 – chance to open up my eyes again next morning, Gift 2 – ability to see improvement of myself day by day”, “Compassion”, “This beautiful and diverse earth”

 


8.    토마가 모든 role taker에게 답을 받아, 그림과 함께, 감성적인 설명과 함께, 우주가 준 선물들을 공유한다, 모두 기쁜 마음과 얼굴로 그 선물을 만끽한다. 멋진 토마 리딩이다^^


9.    테이블토픽을 맡았다, 그리고 아래의 피드백을 받았다, 감동이고 진심 고맙다! “Great time. I am always wondering where you got those brilliant idea & session topic. One of my reason to visit YTM is enjoying your session or speeches”. 더 잘 해야 겠다, 나의 색깔을 계속 탐구하면서 ^^

 


10.    첫번째 연설자는 ‘Why not read the audiobook?’이라는 주제로, 두번째 연설자는 ‘WHO R U?’라는 주제로 깔끔한 연설을 보여준다.


11.    세번째 연설자는 Newspaper Reporter이다. Title은 ‘Welcome to the news world’이고, 며칠 전 Survey 답변을 한 각 개인에게 맞는 기사를 찾아 연결을 시킨다. 이런 열정과 idea는 어디서 오는 걸까? 그는 기본적으로 사람을 사랑한다!


12.    나는 영광스럽게도 “Soonyoung – Germany & Dear Annie - good consultant” 스티커를 받고, 짝꿍은 “Namyoung – Books” 스티커를 받았다. 다음 스피치는 이 newspaper에서 찾아야 겠다. 

 


13.    세상은 이렇게 흘러 간다. 가면 오고, 주면 받고, 바로 그렇게!



오늘 여행의 한 줄 마무리


충만이라는 단어가 있다, 이런 모임은 나를 가득 채운다, 그리고 그 채움을 꺼내어 나눠주고 다시 비운다. 우주에서 준 선물이 이런 flow이지 않을까 한다. 

이 아름다운 우주에 살고 있는 나는 비워져도, 채워져도, 그냥 이대로 그 선물에 감동한다

We realize that the two most important factors in Toastmasters is Mentoring and Evaluations, 
there is no doubt that if these two are done well and there is a good Mentoring program,
your club will be filled with spark plugs ready to fire upon request.
Mentoring and evaluations create enthusiasm,
and once you light that fire the only thing it needs is some kindling.

토스트마스터즈의 두 가지 가장 중요한 요소는 멘토링과 평가입니다.
이 두 가지가 잘 수행되고 좋은 멘토링 프로그램이 있다면 여러분의 클럽은 회원 욕구를 즉시 불태울 수 있는 점화 플러그로 가득 찰 겁니다.
멘토링과 평가는 열정을 탄생시킵니다. 열정이라는 불을 점화시키는 불쏘시개입니다.
