First, she said, if you project your voice to the audience, you are less likely to need them. Second, make judicious use of pauses without fear. The truth is, the audience feels the pause length to be far shorter than the speaker. And lastly, recording your speech during your practice helps you hear the outcome, making you more conscious of your Ah-Um-Eeeh use. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\">Maria Luisa Gomes, our Grammarian, used an analogy to compare grammar use with photography. She explained that, just as the position of a camera has a huge influence on the resulting image, the correct (or incorrect) use of grammar can seriously alter the meaning and the message of your speech. The word of the night was \u201cTrailblazer\u201d, a very inspiring term that seems to define the hopes of many. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\">Sebastian Ortega, pinch-hitting as timekeeper, reminded us that, although Toastmasters was a bastion of British-like politeness, the use of time within the sessions was of Swiss-bred importance.

He presented us his theory of what powers an angry reaction: that it is the outcome of feeling \u201cstuck\u201d, and frustration at not being able to move forward, and thus leads to blame. The solution, he feels, is to follow a three-step plan: empathy, so to relate to the other\u2019s dilemma; an acknowledgment of the situation; and finally, the making of a suggestion or proposal towards corrective action. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\">Jelena remarked that Roberto\u2019s speech was uncannily right on target, given that she had set conflict-management as the night\u2019s theme. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8RFYxvt3Kpw\/Whq5uo6ME5I\/AAAAAAAABuQ\/04kRgS0UdLcL7eDgn-e1K1q-EjIkKh6eQCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/4%2B-%2BDSC_0113%2B-%2Bs.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"904\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8RFYxvt3Kpw\/Whq5uo6ME5I\/AAAAAAAABuQ\/04kRgS0UdLcL7eDgn-e1K1q-EjIkKh6eQCEwYBhgL\/s320\/4%2B-%2BDSC_0113%2B-%2Bs.jpg\" width=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\">It was Zuzana Smakalova\u2019s turn next, to entertain us with a speech that transported us to Morocco (\u201cFeel the Magic\u201d \u2013 Competent Communication Manual \u2013 4 \u2013 How to Say It).
