_____________________________________________________________
On 4th Sept 2010, Tiger Toastmasters Club had organised an Area P5 Toastmasters Club Evaluation and Humorous Speech Contest. Congratulations to Imad for taking up the role as Organising Chair and I must say job well done !! .
It was my first time to be the judge for the Area P5 competition. I was selected by the Chief Judge, Ismail Omar from TMIKL club. I was the only person from Tiger Toastmasters chosen and the other 6 judges came from different clubs. I guess after I had volunteer myself on becoming the judge for other clubs, that's why I was given another opportunity to be as an Area Judge after that. It pays to become volunteer sometime because the valuable thing was that I could get an opportunity to experience other type of role players.
The experiences definitely different between a judge and evaluator role like in our normal club meetings. The first lesson that I got was what we think sometimes not definitly correct compare to the results of the competition winners. I guess it will take many skills to know and evaluate participants in a contest. Second lesson I learned was that, it did helps me to understand better what kind of criteria a judge will evaluate a participant.With this knowledge I could prepare myself better if next time I wanted to compete in a speech contest. Third lessons I learned was improving on my networking skills with other people outside my company. Managed to exchange our experiences and ideas on skills in leadership and membership.
The lesson I got was indeed a valuable one, eventhough I was not paid to be the judges. In this case, the profit was not in term of monetary but more into the experiences I received and I am truly grateful for it.
