At the Lighthouse Toastmasters Club, I gave a 25 minutes impromptu talk on The Power of Rhetoric and the crowd loved it!

Below is the email sent to me by the Vice-President of Education, Julian Yang.

“Dear Ernest,

This is Julia Yang, VPE of  Lighthouse. I am so glad that you came to our club and gave us such an excellent sharing.

Your sharing is both educational and entertaining, truly lightening up our Saturday afternoon.

We learnt so much from you. We all like it very much and hope that we can listen to your speech in the future.I am sure that our member will use anaphora,  epistrophe and other rhetorical devices in their speech from now on.

Next time, when you are going to pay a visit to Shanghai, be sure to contact us in advance. We like you very much

Remember, there is a TMC club in Shanghai that has extremely good meeting atmosphere, there is a TMC club in Shanghai that has friendly members, there is a TMC club in Shanghai that called Lighthouse.

Wish you a pleasant trip!”

If you’re planning to visit Shanghai in the near future, don’t forget to pay a visit to the Lighthouse Toastmasters Club, a club that has “extremely good meeting atmosphere” and “friendly members”

“What you will do if you see a drowning criminal in a river? Will you risk your life saving a criminal’s life?”

This was the table topic posted to me during Toastmasters Club of Singapore weekly chapter meeting on 9th April 2012.

Will you jump in and save the criminal? Or will you stand by the side and see a man drowned to his death?

So what will you do?

Watch the below video and see how Distinguished Toastmaster Ernest Chen will handle such situation!

If you think that good and accomplished public speakers are born, not made, then you’re wrong!

Those who can confidently give persuasive, inspirational and informative speeches, are not necessary people who are being bestowed with the talent and gift. Instead, majority of them are the persistence individuals who took the time and energy to learn from the right public speaking master and persuasive communicator.

This is Distinguished Toastmaster Ernest Chen competing in Toastmasters Club of Singapore’s annual Prepared Speech Club Contest 2012.

Watch the video and see how Ernest captured the audience’s attention from the start through his dramatic opening of a motorcyclist colliding into him. Later on, he led the audience into his life lesson he learnt from his mother, the mantra he remembered until now, “Slow is fast, fast is slow”

At the end of his speech, to get the audience to also remember the mantra, he got them to repeat the mantra after him – twice. Till this date, the mantra remained in the minds of the many Toastmasters who came to witness the battle of the best speakers in Toastmasters Club of Singapore.

If you desire to become a more accomplished, impactful and powerful Toastmaster, then you will want to check out Ernest’s public speaking programs in Singapore.
