ACAA Speechcraft Program Session 2

Communication plays an important role in our daily life.

ACAA Toastmasters Club will launch on 1 July. With support from the Scanlon Foundation, our Club offers 20 seats and is recruiting members! We especially welcome individuals from different cultural backgrounds. We provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment for you to practice public speaking.

To prepare for our launch, ACAA has invited Toastmasters International senior members Allan Rees-Bevan and Dale Rees-Bevan to present the Speechcraft Program in five sessions starting in April.

Our first Speechcraft online event was held on 10 April. It is not too late to join this popular activity - On 24th April, we will hold a second session in which you will:

1. give a 3-4 minute speech about yourself
2. use the basic speech structure and top ten tips that were shared in Session 1
3. learn how to give valuable and constructive feedback
4. learn how to use your body and voice more effectively

In the second session, we will give 4 people a role in running the Session, the roles are:

• meeting chairman (control the flow of the meeting)
• speaker introductions (find out from speakers what their speech titles are)
• determining speeches (assign topics and select speakers)
• Timer (must know how to use ZOOM backgrounds)

Event fee: AU$16

The PPT from the first session will be provided to all participants, so no one misses out!  

Event Guests

Allan Rees-Bevan

Allan Rees-Bevan is a Director and head of Presales for the APAC region in Morae Global, the world's leader in legal technology services. Allan's day is full of presentations to the global team and client base. The best thing Allan did was join Toastmasters when he was 19. Out of all the qualifications and domain knowledge he has acquired, the ability to stand up and present with confidence and enjoy it, has formed his career more than anything else.

In Toastmasters, Allan has had several leadership roles and opportunities to step even further outside of his comfort zone. Toastmasters has improved his speaking, and leadership, and he continues to learn every time he attends a meeting.

Dale Rees-Bevan

Dale is a speaker, trainer, certified World Class Speaking Coach™, past president of Professional Speakers Australia NSW/ACT, president of SpeakersBank Australia Incorporated and author of The Speaking Formula. Dale loves language, learning and laughter and believes in combining these in equal measure in all her sessions.
