Buffalo TM,
As I sat down to lunch today with 2 fellow TMers (R.J. and Brian), Brian specifically pointed out that I used "kinda" quite a few times during my role as TM. I appreciate this feedback even after a meeting. I find that when I am TM I re-run the meeting back through my mind to try to spot opportunities for improvement. I'm appreciative that Brian pointed this out because like all of you I want to improve and sometimes the meeting does not always provide enough time to understand where one can improve. Also, Brian was not my evaluator and the GE can only spot so many areas of improvement. Thank you Brian for point this out after the fact.
In addition; I started to contemplate the speeches I've given as well as experienced lately. I have lost sight of some of the basics (elimination of filler words and good introductions and closings). I have fallen into the trap lately of hastily preparing speeches and not focusing on the introductions and conclusions and not having practiced my speech at least 2 -3 times prior to giving it. I trip and stumble and use filler words. I wonder if perhaps some of you may be in the same boat?
Just some thoughts to consider for your next speech. And I ask that you as fellow Buffalo TMers point out opportunities for your fellow TMers even after the fact so that we can continually improve and challenge one another moving forward!
Regards,
Ray Hebert
VP of Education
