For most of us, it’s not about being able to give a good Table Topic speech, it’s about getting our point across when put on the spot.
In professional or social situations, whatever the circumstances, sometimes you need to be able to deliver your message without much prep-time. There is a difference between saying aragharghaghahgfhe potatoes and eloquently expounding on the terrible situation in wherever.
That difference is practice.
Table Topics simulates these situations and what could be better than to learn from the best? That’s why Experience French Toastmasters have arranged for our lucky fellow Toastmasters to learn from a master of the art:
Paul Carroll, former UK & Ireland Table Topics Champion will be running a Table Topics workshop to give you the tools you need to dazzle in interviews, impress your friends, wow the in-laws and, while you’re at it, deliver truly amazing Table Topics.
