Abstract

Speech Contests provide excellent opportunities to accelerate the development of speaking skills. The competitive environment causes contestants to spend several hours writing, rewriting and rehearsing the delivery of their speech. This activity requires focus, energy and intense desire, and often produces the contestants' best work.

A speech contest is a project, which offers opportunities to practice and develop leadership and project management skills in a low risk environment.

This contest will involve an inspirational speech, which can also be educational or humorous. It is the start of a process for selecting contestants for the Toastmasters International Contest to be held in August 2019, in Denver, Colorado.

The Table Topics contest challenges speakers to demonstrate their impromtu speaking skills by responding to a topic being heard for the first time. These contests often provide a rich source of entertainment for the audience.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  • Learn methods for delivering impromtu speeches 
  • Acquire tips from competitive speakers, which can be used to develop their own speaking skills

5:30 pm -8:00 pm (5.30-6.00 Registration, Snack & Pre-meeting Networking)
Cisco Campus - Building 3, First Floor, The Vault Conference Room

Abstract
Companies are now in the situation where they have multiple generations in the workplace. People are living longer and have started working well past retirement. Some people are now opting out of college and entering the workforce straight out of high school. 

How do you get such a wide range of ages to work together? How do you get them to come into agreement on how to approach projects and job responsibilities? How do you get them to respect all the individuals on the team? Better yet, how do you manage the group especially if they are all older than you?

These are the team dynamics that employers, project managers and every company are currently facing.  Diversity and Inclusion is no longer about race. It now is also about age. We now have to address the issue of working with multiple generations.
 
Learning Objectives
Participants will understand:
 
  • What are the various generations?
  • What is Diversity and Inclusion?
  • How do you get the generations to work together?
  • What do the generations have in common?
