President's role I think is the best - it gives you great visibility and is a great exercise of your leadership skills - I also love the title! Good luck!! I do hope you get much more participation in your club - I love Toastmasters and while as of late, I am taking a short hiatus, I absolutely love the community and the sense of support. Best of luck, Haider and thanks for sharing those great tips here! Hi Haider, me too – I really loved to evaluate but speak, you had to twist my arm big time.

For example, that body movement - or anything for that matter - shouldn't <em>distract</em> people from the content of the speech, but <em>support</em> it. I would then say whether the speaker's pacing, hand movement, eye contact, etc. could have distracted the audience, or not. Toastmasters is great, and I hope to encourage more people to join, especially my club! ;) Hi Farnoosh,
