Here are the certificates I received for three awards that made me eligible for the Triple Crown Award. Only the first two, ACG and ALB (from the old Toastmasters program) are hardcopies sent through the mail. The Pathways certificate, Innovative Planning Level 1, was saved by me from the website.

Feb 17, 2018 Toastmasters Meeting - Researching and Presenting

This afternoon, I delivered my Researching and Presenting Speech of the Innovative Planning Path, Level 1. Though I felt a bit tired due to a morning activity for my HPL Project, this speech turned out really well. It is a sequel to my previous speech entitled, "I.F. (Intermittent Fasting)".

I also had the chance to evaluate two contestants for the upcoming Area level Contest on March 3: Cristina Yung and Duchess Munsayac. They wanted me to specifically evaluate their speeches as contest pieces.

Researching & Presenting-Sample Speech IP1, "Intermittent Fasting Made Easy"

This speech was delivered at the BF Community Toastmasters Club (BFComm) in the Feb.17, 2018 Toastmasters Meeting. Ching Bognot evaluated me for this speech. Incidentally, she was delivering a similar speech project, "Research Your Topic", from the Competent Communicator manual. Before this meeting, Ching and I conducted my High Performance Leadership Project by way of a Public Speaking Workshop for the Commission on Youth of the Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish Church.

High Performance Leadership Program Milestones

At the culmination of my HPL's Public Speaking Workshops for the PCJ Parish Church Commission on Youth, we, the facilitators, received this nice certificate from the PCJ Parish Coordinator and signed by the Parish Priest.


High Performance Leadership Slide Presentation

Shown below is my slide presentation for one of the activities in my High Performance Leadership Project. The Public Speaking Workshops that we conducted would be the culmination of my High Performance Leadership (HPL) Program Milestones.

High Performance Leadership Project Activities

I was early today at the Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish Church in BF Homes, Parañaque City to conduct a series of Public Speaking Workshops to participants coming from the parish's Commission on Youth. The workshop starts at 8am but I was there a little past 7am. This would be the culmination of prior preparations for my HPL.

Ching is a co-club member and is one of my Guidance Committee members. She will help facilitate the workshops as Timer or Timekeeper. Unfortunately, Raul, the assigned evaluator already messaged that he might be late.

A Mentoring Speech - "More of Les"

This speech was delivered by a former mentee of mine, Anne Macalintal CC CL IPL1 at the MSATC Feb.3 Regular Meeting. It is her speech project for Mentoring, Innovative Planning Level 2 of Pathways.

It isn't everyday that someone talks about me in their speech and so I'm featuring her speech here as an article. I'm deeply touched, actually. Anne is the current VP Education of MSATC and is one of the most creative and passionate toastmasters I know.

Feb 3, 2018 Club-Hopping at MSATC - Evaluation & Feedback 2nd Speech

After the regular Toastmasters meeting at my home club, I club-hopped over to MSATC which, coincidentally, was having a meeting on the same day. It was a deviation from their normal 2nd and 4th Saturday schedule because of an anticipated conflict with their area contest.

The meeting theme was "Kings and Queens of Hearts" in observance of the forthcoming Valentine's Day. It's my second time to visit the club. My first club-hopping to MSATC was at their old venue.
