Meeting Report 22nd September
Holborn Speakers hits the mark again with another dynamite evening. Four speakers stepped up – Sarah Maloof told us animatedly about the perils of making big decisions, Paul Lau shared the secrets to success in business, Guy Smith gave a personal and uplifting story about one of his great challenges in life and finally Riad Hamada gave us his number 10 speech. It was a moving account of overcoming adversity using imagination and courage. Congratulations Riad on finishing your first manual and becoming a Competent Communicator!
The table topics had a decidedly business theme to them, but don’t think that stopped them from being a lot of fun. Craig gave us some interesting scenarios from buttering up the boss to firing an employee. We learnt that Zadi will be very gentle firing someone, but Kaveh is not to be trusted with juicy gossip! In the end though, the audience vote decided that lying and backstabbing wins out every time.
Anthony Robinson gave a very refined and well informed report on our grammar and the GE, David O’Neil, was both thorough and on time. A rare and precious quality in a general evaluation. Remember, contest night is next week, be there!
