David Mathieson
Workshop Highlights:
Have you ever been asked to be an official host connecting an audience to a speaker, a conference, a wedding or a show ?
Do you want to foray into the world of a Master of Ceremonies (MC or emcee) becoming the heartbeat of an event, responsible for guiding the audience, managing the energy, and ensuring a schedule flows seamlessly?
In Toastmasters, we’ve already have skills that can accelerate our growth in becoming a MC. David will take us through an interactive, fast-paced and practical workshop. We’ll further our skills to become an effective MC with some simple exercises, preparation and reflection.
Fellow Toastmasters and distinguished guests please welcome……..
