DEMYSTIFICATION

I’ve been visiting many clubs lately because I’m looking to join a second club but a French
Speaking one this time. And it always fascinates me to see how perplexed and intimated guests seem to be with all the different roles we play. And I remember very clearly how I felt, it can be extremely confusing.

So I decided to help you out by creating the Toastmasters Role Series to break down who
does what and to demystify it all.

One video at a time over the next few weeks, I’ll tell you all about these roles, from my perspective, and I’ll even act them out. I believe this information can be very helpful to 3 categories of individuals:

1. If this is all new to you and you want to visit a club one day, you will be able to
smoothly follow the flow of the meeting and understand what is going on! You will
look like a pro.

2. If you are a Toastmasters member already and you have been hesitating to take
on some more complex roles, you will learn everything you need to know during this
Series.

3. For the other professionals, what I am about to explain can very well be applied to
your own meetings and businesses. When you’re leading or participating to a
meeting, those principles may help you make your meetings even more impactful
and your participation more memorable.

HUMOUR

Humour can be anything that brings comic relief to the meeting.
● Jokes
● Personal anecdotes
● Observations
● Something out of the ordinary (magic tricks, etc.)

We have guidelines to follow:
● We have to avoid potentially offensive jokes or jokes at someone’s expense
(e.g. race, religion, sex, politics, etc).
● We have to make sure the joke isn’t difficult to understand for non-native English speakers for
example.
● We have carte blanche to be original and creative.

In this video, I will be sharing two different moments of laughter.

The 1st one was shared at my Club Words on Wings and the 2nd one during an improvisation
session while I was visiting the amazing advanced club Beyond Words in September 2021!
