Here is this week’s program.
Voici le programme de la semaine.
Louis-Philippe attended only twice as a guest before jumping into the Toastmasters program and signing up. He is very enthusiastic and willing to improve his speaking-in-public skills. Louis-Philippe knows all the effort he makes to reach his goal will give him a lot of satisfaction. He also appreciates the fact that he can learn in a fun way. President Marie-Paule Gagnon had the honor to welcome Louis-Philippe at his induction last week. She then reminded us the importance of the 3 P’s that each member should apply: Punctuality, Presence, Preparation.
Louis-Philippe a plongé dans le programme Toastmasters et s’est inscrit au club après deux visites seulement. Il est très enthousiaste et souhaite ardemment parfaire ses qualités d’orateur. Louis-Philippe sait que l’energie qu’il fournira sera bien employée et lui donnera beaucoup de satisfaction. Il apprécie particulièrement l’ambiance de camaraderie de St-Lawrence et le fait de pouvoir apprendre en s’amusant. La présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon a eu l’honneur d’introniser Louis-Philippe la semaine dernière. Elle en a profité pour nous rappeler à tous l’importance des 3 “P” que chaque membre doit respecter : ponctualité, présence et préparation.

Un de nos membres nous a fait part d’un diaporama qu’il a trouvé bien intéressant sur les secrets de faire une bonne présentation. C’est basé sur les habiletés de présentateur de Steve Jobs, PDG-fondateur d’Apple.
Le diaporama est disponible en anglais (svp consulter le billet anglais “The presentation secrets of Steve Jobs” ci-dessous pour le visionner).
Voici certains des points saillants que nous avons retenus de cette présentation :
- Ayez une histoire à raconter.
- Employez moins de mots, et simplifiez-les.
- Utilisez des images et des photos plutôt que du texte dans vos présentations.
- Les images se retiennent beaucoup plus facilement que les mots.
- Quand vous parlez de chiffres, contrastez-les avec quelque chose qu’on peut apprécier.
- Le langage corporel et l’intonation vocale se pratique.
- Pratiquez autant que possible.
- Amusez-vous!
One of our members shared an interesting slideshow that he came across on tips to presenting effectively. (Although the beginning of the slideshow seems to be more like a sales pitch to buy the book, we nonetheless felt there was useful content in the rest of the slides.)
- Have a story to tell
- Add pictures or images to your presentation.
- Use fewer, simpler words.
- More pictures make a presentation easier to remember.
- Dress up numbers. (You’ll know what this means at Slide 40.)
- Practice body language and vocal tone.
- Practice as much as you can.
- Have fun!
