Table Topics® Master

Topicsmaster for short, you can pick the meeting theme in our club to match your planned program. Please update the theme on our Signup Sheet. Optional to announce the theme early — in a meeting or by email.

You conduct the impromptu segment of the meeting when the Toastmaster gives you the microphone or stage. Remind everyone of the time limits and to use the Word Of The Day. You call on people to participate. Be aware of who is available — members without roles, members with light roles, guests. It’s a chance to practice organizing and facilitating a speaking segment. It exercises your listening skills. Wrap up by coordinating with the Toastmaster on available time for your segment.

Tips and Reminders:

• If an EV seems preoccupied in preparing an evaluation speech, avoid calling on that person

• Be considerate when asking new members or guests to speak — try not to pressure or make people feel uncomfortable
