On Tuesday 15 June 2010, I went to ACCA TMC to take on the role of LE. It was my first visit to the club and due to a busy day at work, I only managed to arrive at 8pm.
Richard Sng had helped to present the Word of the Day: galvanise (verb) on my behalf.
This was probably the worst LE I had ever presented. When I went up, I was so nervous that I did not know how to begin. I actually felt self-conscious about offending people while presenting the brickbats. At the end, I had not prepared a climactic conclusion and instead ended lamely by saying "Well done, er (long pause while trying to recall what club this was) Cairnhill Toastmasters Club." when it should have been "ACCA Toastmasters Club"!!
What a fiasco. This is what lack of practice can do to you. It's time I buck up on my LE presentation.
My last LE was in April at Toa Payoh Central TMC. I managed to present it with powerpoint, making it structured and easy to follow.
There is always room for improvement. Don't let a minor setback get you down.
