I followed the latter of your tips tonight and won our club evaluation competition!

[@fmrhoosier]

Jonathan, I watched this video about a week before the District 3 speech evaluation contest. I used each of the techniques you suggest and won! Thanks, Bob

[@marcillinaokalor9421]

Wow! Nice Bob... I intend to win a context too...thats why I'm watching,😃

[@ashtria1644]

Just wonderful, I have been researching "how do you deal with public speaking?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ganlizabetharn Glorious Gratification - (just google it ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to master public speaking without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my neighbour got amazing success with it. #how to evaluate the power of a public speech

[@vodnerbolina]

Fantastic

[@millicentowens3435]

I didn't realize the evaluation was a performance 😳. Wow ... thank you !!!

[@JonPengSpeech]

Yup! Gotta perform and teach at the same time. Very difficult

[@dialogloopinc.8116]

Great tips and guidance on how to do a Great Speech Evaluation in Toastmasters regular meetings. What we found out is that many members are a shy to Evaluate others. It requires extra strength and confidence, which requires a few meetings to reach. In addition, Clubs are facing the issue that members rotation increases. So the knowledge and know-how to run evaluations is challenged. Videos like this one are important to educate members. In addition making ALL meeting attendees evaluate speakers using a digital tool like "Toast Club" is a great way to familiarize them with the Toastmasters official evaluation forms, and the related criteria. They get use to the way to evaluate Speakers, and it boosts their motivation to do an evaluation Speech.

[@JonPengSpeech]

Thank you everyone for your support on this video! Winning the Evaluation Contest for District 85 was an amazing experience and has made me an overall better public speaker and presenter. I am always uploading public speaking and presentation skills videos so feel free to follow or send me a message if you would like me to speak about anything in particular. Wishing you all a positive and productive day!

[@aditbabel]

Look forward to have more of such videos

Hi there! sorry for the late reply. how did it go?

[@saoirsesheridan8248]

It went really well and got good feed back great to learn from the best thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

[@clarkindee]

I watched this video and won my area's evaluation contest later in the day. Two others forgot about the eval being a performance -- they spoke directly to the speaker the whole time! Thanks! On to the district....

[@chrishung7582]

Evaluation time management suggestion - open line to grap attention - one highlight of the speech (1min) - 2 things to improve (2:30min) - summary (OPTIONAL!!!)

[@x12624]

I won the best evaluator picking up tips from this video. Today is my 2nd evaluation. Amazing tips.

[@ajeez1]

Wow Jonathan this was really amazing, these 10 minutes were worth more than a one hour workshop. Can you do more such capsulated versions on each aspect individually if possible? May be "evaluator don'ts" etc. You really are an amazing evaluator.

[@JonPengSpeech]

Sure! I will do some more toastmasters evaluation content and focus on each part. Thanks for your support Ajeez!

[@Missmaskedsinger1]

I watched your video four times in one day and thanks to your advice I won best speech evaluator at my club today. Chula Vista Club 108!!! #thegreat108

This is great! Thanks so much for sharing. I have found evaluations much tougher than giving planned speeches. This is a great road map for success in Evaluations.

[@timostephan5235]

Jonathan, your are a genious! I'm a complete newby, only 6 months a part of toastmasters now and with your extremely helpful tipps i was able to win my area and division contest. Now i have the opportunity to test my skills with the best speakers of district 95. And all because i practise what you preach and successfully do yourself. Keep up the awesome work! Greetings from Germany.

[@InnerBouquet]

Jonathan Peng - I'm new to Toastmasters and you just "blew me away" with your tips for evaluators! You are such a dynamic speaker and brilliant communicator. Thanks for this wonderful lesson! DP (Advocates Toastmasters, Victoria BC)

[@stuartwatt3444]

A fantastic video Jonathan, many thanks for posting. As a new Toastmaster in Worcester UK I employed your tips and techniques at my 2nd ever Evaluation at a Club Meeting last night and walked away with a ‘Best Evaluator’ Ribbon for my efforts. I searched out tips after my 1st Evaluation missing the mark through going way to thin and trying to cover way too many observations. Last night I went deep as you suggest and it worked brilliantly. An additional benefit of this was that I didn’t need notes as I had a lot less to remember. A few key points and then examples and demonstration. I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough content but it worked fantastically. I’ve now put myself down to enter a Club Evaluation contest and will let you know how I get on. I’ll be using your model again!

[@powerspeakernow]

very useful Jonathan. i neglected speech evaluations in the past. but you are right this is as important as doing any speech, from international to humoristic speech. thank you and keep up the great work Jonathan!

[@lisakombo3216]

Hi Jonathan, spot on tips on including the audience, diving deeper and not just the obvious. This is a must see for any experienced or first timer evaluator. All the tips you gave add value and would definitely change the lives of those hearing it, and applying it. Of which, I will do tomorrow. No surprise why you are the champion. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JonPengSpeech]

Thank you for your comment and sorry for the very late reply. Wishing you all the best!

Your video was excellent and I can see why you won. I am actually excited to watch your evaluations next. I would happily subscibe but are you still posting, this was 6 years ago?
