TOASTMASTERS ADVANCED COMMUNICATION SERIES STORYTELLING MANUAL PROJECT TWO, PART TWO

I have decided to base my Toastmasters speech on an event which happened early in my career. I will tell the story of how an animation studio was almost formed. For reasons you will soon learn, I will title this Toastmasters speech, “Larry and the Penguins.”

In this Toastmasters speech, I will explore how valuable friendships/contacts are made, where not to hold a story meeting, how to ruin a pitch meeting and the similarities and differences between toy manufacturers and film producers. I will also answer the question whether or not penguins are the least bit interested in going to the North Pole.

So everybody, please open your Toastmasters Advanced Communication Series Storytelling manuals, turn to page nine, project two - “Let’s Get Personal”, and follow along. Let’s see if I can take the advice from the evaluator of my previous speech – “We Are Not a Muse” - stay on track and follow directions.

I urge everybody reading this to please post a constructive critique in the comments sections under the postings and to add this site to your list of blogs you follow.

Thank you.
