This book will cover everything you need to know about evaluating speeches. For instance, what kind of things should you, as an evaluator, prepare before the speech? What kind of notes should you be jotting down? What percentage of the speech should you be listening to vs. writing notes about? How do you structure your evaluation effectively so that the speaker (and the audience) can learn as much as they can from your evaluation? Through speech evaluations, you will find that it can be a unique way of reflecting on your own communication and leadership abilities and a fantastic way of improving your own speeches by observing the techniques, structures and tactics that other speakers use in their speeches. You may not become a world-class speaker or presenter (or want to), but you will certainly take the first few steps to becoming a great speaker and presenter by reading this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWang Yip discovered the magic of communication and leadership through his parents while he was still in elementary school. Although he had never heard of the concept called \"Toastmasters\", it was a seed that was planted and took hold in Wang's mind until he heard about a Toastmasters club meeting during one of his coop terms. Ever since that point, Wang has been involved in Toastmasters, developing over 50 original speeches, winning multiple speech contests, critically evaluating other speeches and judging various speech contests. He hopes to share his knowledge with everyone but especially to the young professionals who might not necessarily know all of the ways that they can establish themselves in their careers and personal lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 24, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53561130582323,"sku":"9781512362558","price":20.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/OxIdMX95vg9781512362558.webp?v=1782540024","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-guide-to-evaluating-speeches-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
