WORKSHOPS (2022) - TM Residential Weekend 2023

To be effective in your organisation (or in Toastmasters :), you must be able to influence people. That is – unless you want to rely on your position title or your company logo to do the job for you (which is definitely NOT something that I’d recommend 🙂 As a leader, you want people to genuinely WANT to follow you, rather than FEEL OBLIGATED to do so just because you’re the boss. So, how do you GROW your influence with the people around you? How do you motivate them to support your initiatives and adopt your ideas?

VIKTORIIA ZHOVNOVATA

BRONZE FINALIST OF DISTRICT COMPETITION – BUSINESS ANALYST – PRESIDENT OF PBT (PRAGUE, CZ)

Remember your first time giving an evaluation to someone? That thrill, those goose bumps, that excitement? We so often go on stage to provide feedback to speakers that with time we get so used to it that we might not find it exciting anymore.

In this workshop we will focus on how to structure an evaluation like a pro, we will get partially distant from the speaker itself, so we bring the excitement back.

By the end of the workshop, we will find an answer to the question: How to evaluate a speech so that everyone remembers it?

Mastering Disastering

KYLE P BULLUS

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TRAINER – AUDIENCE CONNECTION COACH – PUBLIC SPEAKER

You’ve worked for weeks on your presentation. You’re excited. Now it’s time to deliver. Something goes wrong – equipment, the set-up, your hair, the time, nerves.

Be ready for anything in this lively workshop, “Mastering Disastering.” We’ll be working together, spontaneously, noisily and enjoyably. You’ll expand your imagination and get greater confidence so that you’ll be well-prepared and better able to focus on delivering the true excitement of your intended message.

Slicing The Salami

PERCY ROLAND

DEBATE COACH – REAL ESTATE CONSULTANT – PUBLIC SPEAKER

In his deals in luxury real estate, things rarely go smoothly. Bad news are everywhere: offer not accepted, mortgage not approved, house not legal, client suddenly arrested or under sanctions!

How do you sell the unsaleable? How do you turn a negative into a positive? How do you prepare bad news in such a way that the other party doesn’t freak out and stays on board? And how do you (in the words of Winston Churchill) send someone to hell in a way that makes them look forward to the trip?

In this workshop, we will analyse a few delicate situations and how different communication styles will lead to different outcomes. Together, we will come up with the best way of handling each situation. Because, at the end of the day, it’s all a matter of slicing the salami.

The Walt Disney Creativity Strategy

MARTON CSEPREGI

NPL MASTER PRACTICIONER – WORKSHOP LEADER – PUBLIC SPEAKER

You will learn The Walt Disney Creativity strategy. This method was developed by NLP trainer Robert Dilts, based on how Walt Disney created. The aim is to do brainstorming in 3 phases, Dreaming, planning and criticizing. It is important to do these separately, when you dream, you can say anything you want, when you plan the only question is “how can I achieve this” and you only critique the ideas at the very end. This is useful because this stops the premature killing of ideas via criticism.
