Yesterday's meeting featured a table topics master who carefully crafted her session. The theme of the day was Planning for Success. Neera built her table topics questions around words that she considered essential when planning for success. Persistence. Focus. Concentration. Leadership. Risk. Instead of asking safe questions such as "What does success mean to you?", Neera wove her table topics around her key words. This led to interesting scenarios such as the following which was linked to Risk: "You are a known financial fraudster. You are in front of a judge. You want to demonstrate your innocence. What do you say to make your case?" Needless to say, Toastmasters needed to think on their feet more than ever before! Many members voiced their appreciation of this level of difficulty. Let's not shy away from a good challenge!
