Rechell, the TMOD, led us to “live in the moment” during the 328th meeting of Filcom. When we allowed ourselves to be consciously present in that 2-hour meeting, we forgot about the regrets of the past and the anxieties of the future. As a result, the speakers spoke confidently and everyone enjoyed the meeting. Is Living in the Moment the key to effective public speaking & enjoyment? Well, now we know that it certainly is!
The 3 speakers (Kush, Nadim and Rukhsana) inspired and entertained us with their well-written and powerfully-delivered speeches. Kush & Nadim delivered the 1st speech in the Motivational Strategies, the Ice Breaker. Kush inspired us with his “Chasing Utopia”, while Nadim with his deep-thinking, spiritual nature amused us as he recalled his experiences from his first retreat in Findhorm, Scotland. From the tranquility and heart-warming ice breaker speeches, Rukhsana’s La La Lulu Land suddenly made us burst out in a volley of tittering. And it felt good. The 1st session, Prepared Speeches, was a rollercoaster of emotions.
Serving as the Table Topics Master, Arjay introduced the 2nd session with a twist! He projected a roulette on the screen and each volunteer answered the hashtag it randomly picked (ie. #youonlyliveonce). In this session, 4 volunteers took the challenging spin. They were CJ, Alaa, Dr.Farooq and Afajal who did not only answer the questions, but did so with eloquence and confidence.
And finally, the Evaluation Session was conducted by a champion evaluator, Rashed, who pointed out new ideas that made the meeting successful (ie. Joseph’s personalized introduction of the Ah-Counter role highlighting the benefit of it to improve his listening skill). The evaluators (Anahi, Shyam and Philip) provided their spot-on feedback on the prepared speeches, followed by the role player’s reports. In general, the 328th meeting was well-conducted and well-lived. Kudos to the TMOD and every member and guest who made it all to be yet another special meeting.

- Best Speaker: Kush
