Dear Speech Contest participants – Miroslava Zayets, Aleksandr Gulyaev, Tatiana Kostyrkina, Anna Naleskina, Andriy Spivak,

My congratulations with your powerful achievements!!!!
Remember that you all are winners due to each of you managed to persuade the person you have known the whole your life - Yourself to compete, to overcome panic, to improve and become better in public speaking.

Wish you all inspiration and motivation to move forward to improve your skills and abilities!!!
1st place – Andriy Spivak
2nd place – Anna Naleskina
3rd place – Aleksandr Gulyaev

Please find below Speech Contest participants’ feedback:

Andriy Spivak
It's a great honor and also pretty scary to compete in your "home" club. Never been more worried before. It's like - many many years back - you come in front of your family and tell them that you're going to be a kosmonaut. "Like Gagarin?" they ask. And smile, and look at you and think: "kosmonaut? '.... you'd better go and clean up your room!" And you see those looks and understand that your family is the most demanding audience in the world. Toastmasters are same and different. Because they know - if you don't give up - you'll be a Gagarin of public speaking one day! Thank you, folks! :)

Tatiana Kostyrkina
I am really appreciate having the chance to participate in speech contest. It gave me the chance to practice my speaking abilities and one more time to prove myself that I have to work on some issues to be more successful. I was impressed by preparation of all participants. All topics captured audience attention and forced us to think over important life tasks and situations. Thank you for your attitude and devotion.

Anna Naleskina
Ultimate experience.
Almost everything in our life could be postponed, even important business meeting.
Except, probably, Speech Contest. It's not possible to shift.
Contest is coming like a train, according to the schedule.
Guests are arriving, judges already confirmed participation, speakers rehearse speeches ....

I'm in the list of speakers. A short attack of panic ...
Oh my God, I've had a taught day, I'm sick, my throat is sore, my speech is not prepared well enough and this awful traffic jam ...
No, forgive me, I can't!

But how can I let down, I'm in the list of speakers and I'm an officer of the EBA Club.
It is really breathtaking feeling. You are ultimately you. With your ideas, voice, body, gestures....
Just go ahead and speak.
At this moment everything changed.
Panic has drown back, thoughts were raised, even sore throat worked nearly OK.
Great!
I'm ultimately alone and I could do it!

The afterward feeling was fantastic.
A wonderful combination of joy, satisfaction, understanding that something was done well and some inside barrier has been overcome .
The mighty part of me conquered!
Is'n it the biggest achievement?

Svetlana Nesterenko

Dear Friends,
Some words untill feelings are fresh ...
Yesterday we restored a tradition to implement the role of General Evaluator. To my mind it was really positive gaining. The Evaluation of the meeting in general conclude the entire impression. Whilst the appraisal of delivered evaluation drives everybody's attention to the idea how significant the evaluation is.
Yesterday were announced most active EBA members in September:

Lucy Povaliy, 24 balls - 1-st position

Svitlana Stavska, 23 balls - 2-nd place

Anna Naleskina, 19 ball - the 3-rd.

Just to remind You: Speaker - 10 balls, Table topic Session Master and General Evaluator - 8 balls, Toastmaster - 7 balls, Speech and TTS Evaluator - 6 balls, Grammarian - 5 balls, Ah-counter - 2 balls and Timer - 1 ball.
Thanks a lot to Mike Bedwell for being our Grammarian yesterday. Some useful tips from his report, just to improve the command of our language:
I'll be brief .... instead of I'll be short ...
Explaine to us ... instead of Explaine us ...
Be attantive to ... instead of Pay attention to ...
Give attention ....

He also reminded how to use correctly a simple but useful grammatical construction:
If I had (time), I would (go for a walk).
I've never dreamed to ba a blogger, but Toastmasters Club practice revealed some new features in my nature.
Among newly discovered traits - a propensity to write some hot afterward impressions.

Do you want to be an Officer?

2011-05-17T10:25:00.001+03:00

Your responsibilities are your opportunities!
I really like this statement. Personally me Toastmasters helped a lot. I grew as a speaker. My leadership skills are strong. At least I have a confidence to say it ;) And I found many friends in Toastmasters Community. I truly believe that Toatmasters changes people. This is a perfect place to share your ideas and find support. Plus it's very entertaining. We used to call EBA Toastmasters a Business oriented Club. Now I'd rather call it a Club for Business people. Because we try to have a right Work/Life balance :) We get together not only to discuss business topics, but also to have fun! That's why organize wonderful events, where everyone has a perfect opportunity to open his talents.

Let's recollect some of the events:

Acting

Poetry night

Birthday parties

Romantic meeting

Speech Contests

Star meeting

Medicine meeting

Debates

...

I believe that new elected team of Officers will continue to create such amazing events. Dear members of EBA Toastmasters Club, embrace the chance to be an Officer and participate in the Election. The Elections will be held very soon, within 30 days!

And now a piece of serious but nevertheless very useful information:
Serving as a district or club officer is a great responsibility and an exciting opportunity.
Your term of office will be filled with chances for you to:
Obtain fresh perspectives
Build teamwork skills
Help clubs and members develop goals for improvement
Serve as a facilitator to individual and club success
Instill members and clubs with enthusiasm, fidelity and a sense of responsibility for themselves and others
Learn to develop your capacity to translate values and strategies into productive actions.
The tools and resources below will help you create strategies for success, answer burning questions and fulfill your officer duties – whether you’re an experienced officer or a novice:

Dues

2011-03-31T16:17:00.002+03:00

Dear ladies and gentlemen!

I kindly remind you about paying the dues. It’s only 6$ per month! So you are about to pay 36$ per half of a year membership. For those of you who want to become a member, you should pay plus 20$ for educational material and other issues due to enrolling in the club (20$ are paid only once).

Dear ex-members, remember that it’s much easier to prolong your membership now. In case you are late to pay the dues you have a risk of a necessity to enroll in the club again (some renewals require the same 20$ for enrolling).
All the members have the right to give speeches, take roles during the meetings. Perfect bonus for members is receiving monthly magazines from Toastmasters International.

If you need more information about paying the dues issue, please contact our Treasurer, Olga Pustyntseva +38 067 507 57 25, olya_li@yahoo.com

Toastmasters Area Meeting

2010-06-12T13:38:00.001+03:00

Thursday 10 June 2010

Minutes of the meeting

Meeting called to order by Area Governor at 815 PM.

A head count was done and a quorum of voting officers was present.

1. Area Governor announced after a short discussion that the annual Pirogovo picnic will be scheduled for July 4.

The Area Governor brought forward an item for discussion. That each club provide $150 from dues so that the AG, Yulia Dmtryshn, can attend the District 49 meeting this summer in Holland. There was a great deal of acrimonious discussion regarding this issue. It was pointed out that it is a violation of TM rules to provide funds for travel for any member of TM which comes from TM dues. Dues should be spent only on education within the clubs. After this motion was discussed a great deal, it was determined by a vote that that current AG would be chosen as TM Ukraine’s liaison to European District 49 and attend this meeting with the intention of determining if it would be in the best interests of TM Ukraine to join District 49 and to represent the clubs at the next conference. The motion was made, seconded and there was a unanimous vote in favor of this motion with this further determination that in the future, TM Ukraine will not provide funds from any club dues for an AG or other individual to travel internationally.

Following the agenda, Graham Seibert, President of Art Talkers, presented copies of proposed by-laws which were taken from TM International rule books regarding the functions of the Area Governor in Ukraine. A number of rules were proposed concerning elections, managing events during the year, and money management. It was proposed that the office of Area Treasurer be created so that there will be fiscal accountability in the Area.

There was an objection to this proposal by those who had not previously read this material and felt that they couldn’t vote without reading the materials in detail. It was pointed out that these materials and proposals had been sent out more than one month ago for respective members to read and to familiarize themselves with the details.

A proposal was put to the floor to postpone any decision on proposed by-laws until they had been carefully reviewed. It was suggested that a committee be formed to review the materials and make a presentation to the governing body.

A proposal was also made to vote on the by-laws at that time, since the materials had been made available more than a month ago

A vote was taken to postpone any decision on the proposed by-laws until there would be a report from a committee. It wasn’t determined at that time who would constitute this committee. The proposal to accept the by-laws was tabled until further discussion.

It was pointed out that there was no way according to current rules to accept proxies without new by-laws which officially recognize proxies. The voting for new AG proceeded without addressing this issue.

The election of the new Area Governor then took place. Both candidates gave speeches outlining their programs and platforms. After a vote count it was determined that Lily Nabochenko was elected new Area Governor.

A proposal to hold the TM picnic at a location called Pirate Bay was made by Levon Petrosan. This was determined to be too expensive by the group and was rejected.

The new Area Governor made some proposals regarding future meetings.

Anton Stestenko gave a presentation following his attendance at the last District 59 meeting regarding the positive and negative factors for Ukraine to join this District of TM International.

It was reported that there are a number of issues which impact any decision that TM Ukraine might make regarding joining District 59. It was also reported that there is no clear procedure for a cluster of clubs like TM Ukraine to join a District organization.

The distance for travel to Ukraine would be very expensive for District officers, who generally have to pay their own expenses when traveling.
This could cause financial expense for TM Ukraine which would be expected to pick up the tab for District 59 officers in their travels on TM International business.
It was reported that there are three clubs in Moscow and some other nearby countries which Ukraine could join to form their own district.

The meeting was adjorned at 931 PM.

Partner relations: Toastmasters - TEDxKyiv

2010-04-13T10:31:00.000+03:00

Dear fellow Toastmasters,

We are glad to inform you that Toastmasters, Ukraine and TEDxKyiv have established a partner relationship. We believe that this cooperation will turn into a true friendship and will be mutually beneficial for people involved into activities initiated by both organizations.

Few words about TED: TED (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a U.S. private non-profit foundation that is best known for its conferences. It was founded in Silicon Valley in 1984. Nowadays it has spread all over the world including Ukraine (starting Autumn, 2009). Those who have given TED talks include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Bill Gates, the founders of Google and various Nobel Prize winners. Many talented Ukrainians have also contributed to the local TEDx initiative.

We are pleased to inform you that the next TEDxKyiv is scheduled for 24 April 2010 (which is one day before the All Ukrainian Toastmasters Speech Contest 2010). On my opinion both events can provide you with a brilliant opportunity to enjoy the art of public speaking, broaden your mind with some fresh ideas on various topics and meet really interesting people.

Dear Friends:

I am delighted to let you know that our community is becoming more and more popular.
Angela Hill (who represents www.go2kiev.com) became interested in Toastmasters Ukraine,
and here are the results of our conversation:

Most everyone can agree that public speaking invokes great anxiety – even including people who are well educated and who possess many talents. Overcoming nervousness is a significant battle in a speaker’s development and that is why Toastmasters is an oasis for order, calm and support. To give or exchange information to an audience forces one to be more sensitive and skilled at communicating; thus, we learn to avoid stereotypes and look at many different races and cultures. Public speaking encourages a person to look inside and explore what is most important. Truly words can hurt, heal, create, build and ...

You can find some interesting pictures from our events there too :)

My sincere appreciation to Angela Hill.
We hope for continuation of our cooperation and warmly invite you to our club meetings.

Dear ladies and gentlemen!

We are lucky to have many holidays in winter. The celebration of different events warms us even in a coldest weather. There are only few holydays left in February. The nearest one is St. Valentine's day. So let’s create a special meeting!

Usually business topics are preferable in EBA TMC. But on February 15th ROMANTIC speeches and scenes are especially welcomed! Also you may read a poem… or sing a lyric song. Feel free to share with your ideas.

With love,

Vice-President Public Relations
