Toastmasters Speech

I've been slow on posting again....

Just over a week ago I did a speech at Toastmaster on Economics. I had hope to record it and then post it here but didn't. Oh well maybe next time.

Since Economic is a difficult subject to tackle in 7 minutes I spoke on pricing a bit and use Gas prices as an example. I also made the speech fun because economics can be dry. Here is one paragraph on what I said:

"Pricing is what makes up a free market economy. Pricing enables the buyer to signal how much he is willing to pay for a given product and to the seller how much he should produce. It makes up what is called “supply and demand”. If the price of a given product is right for many buyers the demand will increase. On the other hand if the price is too high the demand will decrease where no buyer wants to buy the product for a given price. The seller has two options. One is to lower the price and second is to stop producing the product. "

Soon I will deliver another speech where I will tell my story in narrative format. I’m also working on another speech on customer service.

Toastmasters is great for improving on speaking skills. I have improved in quite few areas already. After every speech I know areas I need to work on. The feedback we get from member and evaluators is great too.

My wife loves to participate too which gives me more motivation to be great. She recently participated in the humorous speech contest and made it to the second level.
