Telling a Tall Tale, Toastmasters Speech Contest
This morning was the Tall Tales Contest for Realtors Toastmasters 2512 in Bloomington, Mn. I managed to win second place in the club contest which was good enough for me to advance to the next level to compete with winners from other clubs.
The title of my tale was, A Stitch in Pines Saves Nine. The rules of the contest call for a presentation of between 3 and 5 minutes. The video below was done with my inexpensive Flip Camera. Hopefully the audio is loud enough for you to hear most of it.
Telling tall tales, and stories for that matter is a recent development for me. Traditionally, my topics are heavy or serious topics. That is one of the benefits of Toastmasters because it is forcing me to go outside my normal comfort level and to try to do something different. That’s the way we grow as individuals.
