10.03.2020 Meeting #457- Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny.


Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny. Something we as Toastmasters live by in shaping ourselves when it comes to growing in public speaking and leadership. Today with this theme , our meeting ran with extra caution amidst the Covid-19 outbreak. The word of the day was “Proficiency” and likewise we attend these regular meetings to increase our proficiency in these two fields. 

Our meeting kicked off with Abdulrahman, PM2 the ASAA calling the meeting to order and reciting the Toastmasters’ Promise. This is a tradition strictly followed by us here at Money Mastery-KL Toastmasters. Our exciting President, KL Loh, ATMG then took the stage with his usual vigour and excitement for his Presidential address giving a chance for everyone to introduce themselves.
Today we had a whole load of guests more than 10 of them nearly out beating the number of members themselves. It was great to see how well publicized and known is our club. Our charming and charismatic Toastmaster of the Evening was none other than Ron Yeap, ACS, ALB who brought the guests through the history of Toastmasters in a systematic and steady manner.

Today’s row of technical players were Abdulrahman, PM2 as the Ah-Counter, Laurence our beautiful guest from OUM Toastmasters as our Grammarian, EK Yeo, CC, CL as the Timer and our guest of honour, our General Evaluator was the humble and eloquent Joe Chang, ACG, ALB.

The main part of the meeting started with the Table Topics™ Session conducted by CS Ong, PM1. He was well prepared with an array of fantastic topics and was bold and clear with his conducting of the session. All the guests had a roll at trying out those amazing topics. They are:

A) Salem
B) Chloe
C) Amreer
D) Celest
E) Cetani

Next up was the main prepared speech sessions and today we had an impressive line of speakers, 4 jam packed for the session. First up was Hai Liang, who spoke on his path Effective Coaching with the subject ‘My Storyboard’ and gave us 7 interesting tips to use in our lives.

Following was Nantha Kumar on his path Innovative Planning and he spoke on ‘Lie Detector’. It was a calm and composed speech you wouldn’t be sure if he was lying at all. Haha!

Then our best speaker and pioneer, Ken Chan, DTM rocked the stage with his speech on ‘Leading in Crisis’. He shared with us his experience as a leader and how he solved a 100 year old problem at work.

Finally was Chitirra, LD1 who shared with us on her leadership styles with the title ‘The Slow Coach’. She spoke about her strengths and weakness and a coaching leader and other attributes of various leadership styles.




Alas, the guests and members took a tasty break with our signature Nasi Lemak and enjoyed the networking session with other delicacies as well.

After the short break, we moved on to the fantabulous evaluation session lead by our General Evaluator, Joe Chang, ACG, ALB.

The first evaluator was the Table Topics Evaluator, KL Loh, ATMG who gave his sniper evaluation to the point and with zest. Following, we had the panel evaluators for the assigned speakers. Wendy Sim, CC came back on to the stage after ages as an evaluator for Hai Liang, our guest also from OUM, Jon Tan, DTM evaluated Nantha Kumar, Julia Leong, ACG, ALB evaluated Ken Chan, DTM while Ken Chan, DTM gave his powerful feedback for Chitirra, LD1.




A round of open evaluation was in place at our club as usual where everyone from the floor gets to give their personal feedback towards the assigned project speakers. The General Evaluator then called upon the technical role players to give each their Ah-Counter, Grammarian and Timer’s report followed by his own humble generation evaluation of our club meeting.

The night was drawing to its close when our President took back the stage to give out the awards of the night. Our pretty guest Celest, won the Table Topics™ session while Ken Chan, DTM bagged both the best speaker and the best evaluator of the night.




Our President closed the meeting with his spirited end speech and we all left with some mastery of our minds in shaping our destinies after a grand group photo. Truly every meeting brings something to the table for all. So you there reading this, step out of your comfort zone, step up to the challenge and step in to Money Mastery-KL Toastmasters as our President calls it. The best in Malaysia, Singapore and Batam Island. Cheerios!!!
