The metaphors we live by

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Dear Toastmasters,
this week I’d like to invite you all on a journey into the world of metaphors.
While most of us seem to have a pretty good idea of what metaphors are, we are often in the dark about the fact that we use them on a daily basis more often than we think. Without them, [...]

What are we good at?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Dear Toastmasters and beloved guests,
I’d tell you what I’m good at, but these messages should be kept short and there is word limit, so I just have to say that I’m really, really good at modesty ;)
But seriously, this Wednesday we’re going to talk about what are we good at, and our Table Topic Master [...]

Politics - one more time…

Monday, May 24th, 2010

So here it is. Politics has got into Cracow’s Toastmasters as well. I hope our Officer’s Board applicants will show us why we should choose them, not why we shouldn’t choose their opponents. Craig, our Table Topic Master has decided that because of the elections we should prepare ourselves to making choices just by talking about Politics.
Radek will [...]

The Devil’s Advocate was an office of someone who had served to reduce a number of canonizations in Roman Catholic Church for almost 400 years. What kind of questions will Radek M. [...]

Good Luck

Monday, April 26th, 2010

There’s and old controversy regarding the matter of luck and skills in life, and people still debate which is more important for success (*). However, if our life has been prepared for us upfront and everything we do, was just meant to be, then either luck and skills are the same thing, or don’t exist [...]

Headline News

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Tragic headlines look at us from every news stand, every information website, every TV programme in the last several days, reminding us of the catastrophe of Saturday, April 10th. In these circumstances it’s hard to find the joy in announcing the next meeting of our Toastmasters club.
This meeting will be different. Our club was invited [...]

Storytelling

“The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of
truth, wisdom, is dying out.” - Walter Benjamin
