			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">« Being a better communicator and a better listenner, makes you a better human being. » said Charles Assaf at his induction ice breaker. This sentence sums up so well what Toastmasters is all about that it proves by itself Charles truly is a Toastmaster member : willing to improve and motivated to make the effort to reach his goals. And president Marie-Paule Gagnon was thrilled to lead Charles&#8217;s induction last week. During that presentation she changed John F. Kennedy memorable sentence « Ask not what your country can do for you but rather what you can do for your country.» into «Ask yourself what the club can do for you but AND ask yourself what you can do for the club.»</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/charles-assaf1.jpg"></a></span></p>
<div></div>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<div id="attachment_954" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/charles-assaf2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-954" title="Charles Assaf and President Marie-Paule Gagnon" src="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/charles-assaf2-300x224.jpg" alt="Charles Assaf et la présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Charles Assaf et la présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon</p></div>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">« Améliorer sa communication et son écoute nous amène à être un meilleur être humain.» Voilà l&#8217;une des principales raisons incitant Charles Assaf à se joindre à notre club. Cette citation (originalement en anglais) résume tout à fait le but de Toastmasters et prouve à la fois que Charles a tout à gagner à se joindre au club, et à la fois le club est gagnant d&#8217;avoir un membre si désireux de réussir. D&#8217;ailleurs, la présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon, qui a eu l&#8217;honneur d&#8217;introniser Charles, a changé la fameuse citation de John F. Kennedy : «Demandez-vous ce que vous pouvez faire pour club et ce que le club peut faire pour vous.»</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Tomorrow&#8217;s theme is the Olympics, which refers as much to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics as to the medals ceremony of the St. Lawrence Toastmasters club. View the </span><a href="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/programmetoastastersspeakinginpublic.pdf"><span style="color: #0000ff;">program for our Toastmasters meeting</span></a><span style="color: #0000ff;"> that will held tomorrow (February 2nd).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Our Awards Night will reward members that were the best of 2009 in table topics, speeches and evaluations.

<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">Le thème de la réunion de demain sera les Olympiques. Cela fait référence tant aux olympiques de Vancouver que la remise des médailles du club St Lawrence. Veuillez consulter <a href="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/programmetoastastersspeakinginpublic1.pdf">le programme de notre rencontre Toastmasters</a>,de demain soir (2 février).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">Notre cérémonie de remise des prix récompense les meilleurs de 2009 pour les improvisations, les discours et les évaluations. Elle félicitera tout particulièrement le bullshooter, l&#8217;étoile, le Toastmasters et le membre s&#8217;étant le plus amélioré de l&#8217;année dernière. Venez en grand nombre célébrer nos champions!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Louis-Philippe attended only twice as a guest before jumping into the Toastmasters program and signing up.  He is very enthusiastic and willing to improve his speaking-in-public skills. Louis-Philippe knows all the effort he makes to reach his goal will give him a lot of satisfaction. He also appreciates the fact that he can learn in a fun way. President Marie-Paule Gagnon had the honor to welcome Louis-Philippe at his induction last week. She then reminded us the importance of the 3 P&#8217;s </span><span style="color: #0000ff;">that each member should apply</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">: Punctuality, Presence, Preparation.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_920" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/louis-philippemendes.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-920" title="Louis-Philippe Mendes" src="http://sltoastmasters.site40.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/louis-philippemendes-300x225.jpg" alt="Louis-Philippe Mendes et la présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Louis-Philippe Mendes et la présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;">Louis-Philippe a plongé dans le programme Toastmasters et s&#8217;est inscrit au club après deux visites seulement. Il est très enthousiaste et souhaite ardemment parfaire ses qualités d&#8217;orateur. Louis-Philippe sait que l&#8217;energie qu&#8217;il fournira sera bien employée et lui donnera beaucoup de satisfaction. Il apprécie particulièrement l&#8217;ambiance de camaraderie de St-Lawrence et le fait de pouvoir apprendre en s&#8217;amusant. La présidente Marie-Paule Gagnon a eu l&#8217;honneur d&#8217;introniser Louis-Philippe la semaine dernière. Elle en a profité pour nous rappeler à tous l&#8217;importance des 3 &#8220;P&#8221; </span><span style="color: #ff9900;">que chaque membre doit respecter</span><span style="color: #ff9900;"> : <strong>p</strong>onctualité, <strong>p</strong>résence et <strong>p</strong>réparation.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Un de nos membres nous a fait part d&#8217;un diaporama qu&#8217;il a trouvé bien intéressant sur les secrets de faire une bonne présentation.&nbsp; C&#8217;est basé sur les habiletés de présentateur de Steve Jobs, PDG-fondateur d&#8217;Apple.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Le diaporama est disponible en anglais (svp consulter le billet anglais ci-dessous pour le visionner).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Voici certains des points saillants que nous avons retenus de cette présentation :</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Ayez une histoire à raconter.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Employez moins de mots, et simplifiez-les.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Utilisez des images et des photos plutôt que du texte dans vos présentations.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Les images se retiennent beaucoup plus facilement que les mots.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Quand vous parlez de chiffres, contrastez-les avec quelque chose qu&#8217;on peut apprécier.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Le langage corporel et l&#8217;intonation vocale se pratique.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Pratiquez autant que possible.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" mce_style="color: #ff6600;">Amusez-vous!</span></li>

<div id="__ss_2609477" style="width: 425px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><object width="425" height="355" data="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=slideshare-091129171652-phpapp01&amp;rel=0&amp;stripped_title=the-presentation-secrets-of-steve-jobs-2609477" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=slideshare-091129171652-phpapp01&amp;rel=0&amp;stripped_title=the-presentation-secrets-of-steve-jobs-2609477" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></span></div>

<div style="width: 425px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Here are some of the main points that we found interesting:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Have a story to tell</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Add pictures or images to your presentation.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Use fewer, simpler words.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">More pictures make a presentation easier to remember.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Dress up numbers.  (<em>You&#8217;ll know what this means at Slide 40</em>.)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Practice body language and vocal tone.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Practice as much as you can.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff;">Have fun!</span></li>
</ul>
