TOUCHSTONES Impromptu Speaking
We are continuing our regular sessions for the sharing of corporate knowledge from basics to the best. We all have experience in teaching various aspects of the foundations of our craft and these sessions will be facilitated by members of your committee to bring out the combined knowledge of the group for the benefit of brand new teachers and reenergising those with years of experience. So bring your ideas, experience and enthusiasm to share with the other members of the Association. The topic in August is “Impromptu Speaking”. Two members will present their most effective method of teaching impromptu speaking prior to a peer led discussion.
