What do we fear most?

It's our exciting fortnight meeting this THURSDAY again!

We embrace the Toastmasters journey hoping to grow, to become someone bigger than we thought we could be.

What is holding us back?

Fear.

Here is some really thought-provoking Food for thought in the email correspondence from our President Ng Kin Foong and Vice-President of Education Gladys Tye to our club members:

Gladys: 

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.Our playing small does not serve the world. We are all meant to shine’ - Marianne Williamson

Those were tidbits of what our newly crowned Competent Communicator, Joe Wan, mentioned in his speech during the previous chapter meeting,

Let’s take a moment to ponder- What is your deepest fear?

I used to be so fearful of public speaking. In fact, I  would rather jump off a cliff than to give a presentation. Because of this fear, I ran away from presentations like how a criminal would run from the cops. Three years ago,  I was  forced nominated to attend a public speaking course by my boss. Those eight weeks felt like eight months. I couldn’t sleep well especially before class.  Now looking back, I am grateful for this ordeal. Because without this, I wouldn’t have become who I am today.

In every chapter meeting, you witness strong-willed individuals who conquer their fears in public speaking  and hone their communication and leadership skills.
Now, take a moment to think about what are you fearful of.

How has this fear affected your relationship, career, finances, health and personal development?

How about making a commitment to move out of your comfort zone? To participate in that table topics segment. To book your next speaking slot. To serve others by leading.

After all, we will never learn and grow if we keep doing the same things over and over again.

Sometimes the thing we fear most, is what we need to do most.

In which our President replied:

Yes that quote by Marianne Williamson chews up my insides and moves me to ask myself: what do I really fear most? why am I afraid of my own power?

I remember avoiding the stage after one incident in primary school where in a debate I ended up shooting my team and myself in the foot. After the embarrassment I was sure I would not speak in public again. After attending a course called "Train the Trainer", I knew I had to get to the stage because I enjoy training and making a difference to others. 

I joined Toastmasters to practice crafting material quickly because by then I was no longer afraid of the stage. I completed my CC in 6 months by speaking at other clubs too. 

But then I got to confront other fears instead: fears of being not good enough, fear of taking responsibility, fear of being powerful beyond measure. 

Today as Club President, I believe that I have contributed something to the club and grown in handling my fears. I believe I have grown as a leader, and definitely as a better communicator and a better thinker. All this because I took a leap of faith and did it anyway. 

So fellow club members, lets double up in the journey toward our greatness. Take that step forward and book a speech, or volunteer for table topics, or hold an appointment role like evaluator or TME. You'll never regret taking an action within Toastmasters because it's a safe space to learn and grow. 

Last but not least, Congratulations to Roy, Annie, and Jaric for being first timers in your roles in the upcoming chapter meeting, and congratulations to Matthew for attempting P10. I look forward to being inspired!

Step out of your comfort zone, step out of your fear.

It is only when you emerge from your tunnel, that light will beckon you.

It's the 3rd Thursday of the month again, and we look forward to an exciting chapter meeting at Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club again!

1) Support our 'First Timers'
We learn the most when we step out of our comfort zone. Aren't you elated to see our members stepping up and taking up appointment roles eagerly?

Our newest member, Joy, will be taking up the role as a timer even though she just joined us in the previous chapter meeting. Pijush will be serving as our meeting SAA for the first time, ShunWei will be giving his maiden evaluation and Woelly will keep count of our pause fillers.

Last but not least, we have our club treasurer, John as the Toastmaster of the Evening.

2) Getting our 'Report Card'
We will be having our first General Evaluation of the term! It will be done by our frequent guest, ChengKok who is currently serving as a VPE in AIA Toastmasters Club

Having a general evaluator (GE) periodically is integral to the club's success and improvement. His role is to provide honest opinion on the appointment holders, programme flow and club atmosphere and highlight areas that we improve on.


It's going to be an exciting night full of inspiration and camaraderie. Don't miss it!

475th Meeting

Best Prepared Speech: Shaun Li, ACS, ALB

Best Evaluator: Andrew Chen, ATMB, ALS

Best Table Topic: Coen Tan, DTM

474th Chapter Meeting or The Four Seasons, The Scariest Place and The Coup

Best Prepared Speech: Toastmaster Johnbosco Ng

Best Evaluator: Kenneth Yeo, ACS, ALB

Best Table Topic: Toastmaster Christina Ho

Word of the Evening: NUANCE

First things first: our Charismatic, Persuasive and Influential “Minister of Influence”, Coen Tan, is now officially a Distinguished Toastmaster! Congratulations to Coen!!

As acting Club President, Ng Kin Foong, CC invited us to stage a “coup of the imagination” (sounds like something from the 1970s Twilight Zone). He had fun, learned how to craft 7 speeches in about 7 weeks, assisted in Speechcraft and learned how to train. “Your real reason may not be it (your real reason)” he said, and added “At the root of it, is the desire for growth”

The first prepared Speech, by Toastmaster Johnbosco Ng (CC P5, Your Body Speaks), was about “The Scariest Place on Earth”! What is this 'scariest place', I hear you ask? It's the South Korea Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ. It is 250 km long and 4 km wide. It was the site of gruesome axe murders, where Captain Bonifas who was ordered to cut down a poplar tree, was ambushed by the North Korean soldiers. Johnbosco's tour guide used one word to snap them out of the grim feeling: “Lunchtime!” Johnbosco did an amazing job describing his mouth-watering lunch (it was green spinach, but he made it sound so delicious) and why he had to wear a helmet in the tunnels. Can you guess why?*

The second prepared speech by Toastmaster Woelly William (CC P1: The Ice Breaker) started off on an amazing note: he said that it was his first Toastmasters speech and we should all give him a big hand to help him overcome his shyness! An accountant by profession, it didn't seem like he was new to public speaking and looks comfortable on stage. He talked about not letting fear 'take over our future' and likes the support and encouragement from Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club. Coincidentally, he mentioned 'rolling a boulder up a hill', which I was just reading about in Paul Allen's engrossing memoir, “Idea Man”. The legend of King Sisyphus, who had been deceitful and cheated Death twice, was that Zeus made him roll a boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down again, over and over.

Our charismatic Toastmaster Ronnie Wang (CC P8, 'Get Comfortable with Visual Aids') began his speech entitled “Four Seasons” by repeating a question he is often asked: “Will you be here in Singapore long?” (Ronnie is from China). And his answer? “It depends on whether I miss the four seasons!” After a brief debate about how many seasons there are in Singapore (personally, I think there are only 2: GSS and the 'Saving-up phase'. Right, ladies?), Ronnie showed beautiful images of the four seasons. He also showed us an agricultural perspective: Spring is 'Planting Season', and Autumn is 'Harvest time'. Summer was a time to have fun outdoors ( I remember my first summer in the UK- so many locals sat/sunbathed in the sunlight and I was asking myself: “What's wrong with these people?” It made no sense to someone who came from a tropical country) and Winter was a time to make Ice Kachang. Seriously, winters are cold, especially when the wind blows. It doesn't snow all the time in winter, though. To sum up the lessons learned: “Life has seasons. Some winters are long, and some are short. The best part? Spring always comes!”

We also had a special segment about the Revitalized Education Program that Toastmasters International will roll out. The current program needs improving because it is confusing and there is not enough emphasis on leadership. The new program will be simpler, leadership will have more weightage and be more technology-centric (with usage of videos and mobile applications). Interestingly, it will also feature tailored learning while retaining the self-paced learning that we have now. Want to know more?

Till next meeting, as Ng Kin Foong, CC said: stage a coup of your imagination!

It's to avoid hitting your head on the tunnel ceiling

Brand new chapter meeting in a positive note!

The first chapter meeting of 2013 saw a Ray, June and Carl delivered their next project speeches. Congratulations! 

I personally felt each member improve significantly by each project and i definitely enjoyed myself as I am enriched by the speech topics that ear very relevant to our lives such as Ray speech on the "SANDWICH GENERATION". I was engrossed!   

For table topic segment, our seasoned toastmaster Coen Tan hosted eight uplifting topics such as "KINDNESS", "GOING THE EXTRA MILE", "THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED" which got everyone interested to take part.

Merry Christmas and good bye 2012!

Today is the last chapter meeting for our club, the festive mood is in the air where, we exchange gifts, had good food and wine.  It was an amazing Christmas chapter meeting as well as our last chapter meeting for 2012 today!

We saw our veteran Toastmaster Edward See give an insightful educational speech that strengthened our conviction in our journey in toastmaster. Then, we saw Ray deliver his project 1 which in my opinion very well delivered and memorable speech "Ray of Light", then Kin Foong completed his project 10 competent communicator manual in 6 months which is amazing and finally we ended our last chapter meeting with a big bang with gifts from Richard for table topics and Peter who is overseas. I felt the love and joy from them both.

Tampines Changkat Toastmaster, we are indeed one big happy family, i am sure you feel that way too, why don't you drop by some time! contact us here!

Good bye 2012 & Merry Christmas!!

Recap of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters 425th Chapter Meeting

Hi Everyone!

A few days ago, Tampines Changkat Toastmasters had its 425th Chapter Meeting, not only that, we added two more new members to the family! We also announced the winner of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Most Improved Toastmasters Award. Ted Chong, our club's very own VPE came out on top! Congratulations TED! You deserved it! Loved the speech btw!

We had 2 visiting Toastmasters, both left the meeting winners, Wenjie from NUS Toastmasters won the Best Prepared Speech Award, while Linda Lee from AIA Changi won the Best Evaluator Award. Wenjie touched us with her beautiful yet inspiring speech, "Hold on to your dreams and follow intuition" while Linda impressed us with her breathtaking singing whilst evaluating!

Also, Gurmit demonstrated a few stretching exercises in his P5, while Jane, in her P4, taught us how we should not lend money to anyone, unless we are willing to forgo the relationship. Of course, attempting to complete his CC manual for the third time, Coen, shared with us how toastmasters, saved his dreams.

The Table Topics was also rather exciting and it was a very close fight! All the speakers were rather good in my opinion. It had me in "reflection mode" as some of the speeches were quite meaningful. Of course, the winner was none other than Boon Seong, who won the table topics at his first attempt. It was a boon that his name was the word of the day! (boon & bane)

Also our meeting as described by one of our members if you missed it;
'I am still feeling the Buzz from last night's chapter meeting! Loved the Energy! Jane Yeo is back in Speaking Action, 2 New Member Signups, Kelvin Cheng was really funny! Didn't know Zamir can flirt so naturally on stage! Ted Chong gave an Inspiring Thank You speech for his "Most Improved Toastmaster" Award. Another brilliant evening at Miracle Factory - Tampines Changkat Toastmasters! My friend Boon Seong was nervous and said he wasn't prepared to tackle table topic. But I begged him on anyway. 1 minute 30 seconds later, he came off stage an improved person and even won the Best Table Topic Speaker Ribbon. Moral of Story for everyone: Your growth in Toastmasters is defined by simple moments of breakthroughs like this!'

And yes it was my first time as Toastmaster of the Evening (with a record 56 pause fillers!), and I hope everyone enjoyed the meeting. Our next chapter meeting will be on the 19th April 2012 @ 7pm. Do drop by!

I leave you all with a momento (see below) specially done by Linda Lee, a visiting toastmaster from AIA Changi, which captured all the ribbon and award winners! Congrats to everyone. And definitely a pleasure having you at our meeting Linda :)


Warmest Regards,
Zamir Chew

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters 423rd Meeting - 15th March 2012

Dear Members,

As we all know, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization that allows ordinary people like us to become extraordinary by learning from the extraordinary toastmasters around us.

And the wonderful part of it, is that many of them were once ordinary people who have benefited from the toastmasters movement to become extraordinary. Some of them in our club, and some of them residing in 100 over toastmasters clubs around Singapore, ready to give back to this community that bestowed extraordinariness on them.

This chapter meeting, I am excited to have with us , a member of brilliant advanced toastmasters club, Nishant Kasibhatla. Nishant is a Certified speaking professional, past president of Asia Professional Speakers, a Guinness Record Holder and author of a best-selling book.

We all know that a workshop from someone of that calibre would cost us a bomb outside, but not a single cent in tampines changkat toastmasters club.

On top of that we have a fantastic line-up of distinguished toastmasters from various clubs to add value to our chapter meeting.

See you this thursday for an enlivening, enlightening and entertaining evening !!

(Chapter meeting starts promptly at 7.30pm, pls come early at 7pm for dinner so that we can end on time. Appreciate your punctuality!

Yours truly

If you are keen to learn about what kind of adventure entails after completing the CC manual, you must come and check out the advanced projects!

Another reason we must turn up for the coming chapter meeting is what follows after that. As if the refreshment isn't enough, we will be having a supper treat!

Magdalene, Matthew and yours truly will be treating everyone to chilli crab for our reunion supper! Why ? Well, You will know why once you complete your CC.

This is a definitely a prelude to Chinese New year where good food awaits. However, education always takes priority over any other allures.

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club 415th Chapter Meeting on 3 November 2011

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Do you remember how was it like when you did your 1st speech in toastmasters ? 
It sure was nerve-wrecking, but the feelings of accomplishment that followed was awesome, isn't it? 

Our club has been bestowed the Smedley Award from TI for registering 5 new members during this period and I'm so glad our new members are more than eager to kick their toastmasters journey. 

This Chapter meeting,  we have 2 speakers presenting their P1 speeches and breaking the ice. 

Wesley has 2 best table topic ribbons under his belt before he even started on his 1st prepared speech. A fast learner as we have all witnessed. As our IPP often says, " Good public speaking begins with good private thinking." With Wesley's trademark inspirational speeches, aren't you keen to find out more about him ? 

Thomas has been a familiar face even while he was a visitor, having attended countless chapter meetings and being most helpful, spontaneous and vibrant at the meetings. Finally, here comes the chance to hear him speak and to tell more about himself! 

Below is the programme sheet:

Join us this Thursday for an evening of fun, facts and food!

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club 414th Chapter Meeting on 20 October 2011

2 weeks back, we held a successful chapter meeting despite of the heavy pouring and thunderstorm and despite of the allure of an enticing nap at home. All our appointment holders and speakers faithfully turned up. Our spirits and passion for personal growth was not dampened by the rain or any other barriers that will stand in our way. 

That penchant towards personal development is what makes us uniquely toastmasters. 

This chapter meeting, our VPM, Virginia is going to induct our new and relatively new members into the journey of becoming a better speaker, a better leader and a better person.  It is when we witness new toastmasters make a promise for a commitment to personal growth and development. 

On top of that, we have our soon-to-be inducted member, Sana embodying the spirit,  taking her 1st step towards personal growth by challenging herself into breaking out of her comfort zone. She will be attempting P1. 

Seasoned or new toastmasters , join us this thursday to renew your commitment towards personal development and to lend support to our prepared speakers. Not forgetting your favorite food and fun! 

Below is the programme sheet:

See you this Thursday!

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club 413th Chapter Meeting on 6 October 2011

Have you ever been asked to make a presentation in front of your boss and colleagues?

Have you ever been through an interview?  

Have you ever been requested to emcee a friend's wedding? 

Probably, yes. 

Dear members, 
Speaking opportunities arises anywhere and anytime around us. Our toastmasters training serves to prepare us well with a wide spectrum of appointment and speaking role to develop an all-rounded speaking skill suited for all occasions.

This Thursday, continuing with the hype of education after Coen's evaluation segment last week, our senior member, Andrew has kindly agreed to conduct an educational segment on how to be an effective 'Toastmaster of the evening.' What are the things to look out for as a host? What kind of speaking style do i have to adopt ? How does being a host improve my speaking? 

These are the questions which will be answered on that day. So, the next time someone seek your help in hosting a wedding, you are all ready to say : ' Yes, why not!' 

But before that, put what you learn to use by taking up the role of TME first in our practicing ground(chapter meetings). 

On top of that, we are having another new member, Eldrid attempting his maiden speech this thursday, how exciting! Come and support Eldrid as he breaks the ice! 

Do not miss an exhilarating day filled with educational value ! Join us this thursday for an evening of fun, facts and food.

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club 412th Chapter Meeting

Ladies and gentlemen,

Have you felt how is it like to be able to make a positive impact on a fellow toastmaster's journey? Have you ever pick up the weakness of fellow speakers which happens to be present in you as well? Have you gave your 1st project evaluation in toastmasters?

Evaluation is one of the valuable skills that we develop in toastmasters which compasses various aspects of our personal development such as listening, awareness, critical thinking and most importantly, the satisfaction of helping others. I can still vividly remember the appreciative look displayed on the face of my 1st evaluation subject. This proves that we do not have to be a saint in order to help others. It begins with a heart of willingness. 

This thursday, our evaluation guru, Coen Tan who happens to be the area S4 evaluation contest 2011 1st runner-up has kindly step out to share his expertise in this area. He will be first conducting a segment on 'evaluate to motive' , followed by an evaluation of the project evaluators at the end of the PE segment. 

Fellow toastmasters, whether you are a first-time evaluator or a seasoned one, now is the time to sharpen your saw! 

On top of that, a brave new member of ours is stepping out of his comfort zone to attempt his P1, another great man in making. Let us give our support to Rufin as his breaks the ice. 

Below is the programme sheet:

Join us for a value-pack evening this Thursday, not forgetting the fun and laughter......and the food !

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club 411th Chapter Meeting

Have you had a toastmaster 'surprise' lately ? 

Last chapter meeting, my toastmaster surprise came in the form of a trophy. Like everyone else, i join TM to improve on my communications but i got much much more than what i bargained for. Great friends, improved self awareness, better clarity, among many others. 

Yes! All these are by-products when you totally immerse yourself in the journey and play all out.   

This chapter meeting, we have 4 speakers who are ready to own the stage and deliver their 'surprises' to us. 

As part of the advanced leadership requirement, Andrew will be attempting his high performance leadership speech. If you are confused about what it is all about, come and see for yourself what surprises he has in store for us. 

After sharing with us on how he joined toastmasters last month, Stephen is back with more surprises in his P2.

Our twin warriors, Zamir and Gerald will showcase their vocabulary surprises in their P4. 

Such a fabulous program contributes to our way of learning and playing at the same time, while awaiting our surprises. 

Below is our programme sheet:

Come join us for a day of fun, facts and food!
