A word from our President

Greetings to All Members and Visitors,

What an inspiring, uplifting, and entertaining night we had at our last meeting on the 27th of October with David Nottage as our guest speaker and Linda McDermott as our MC.

We were all laughing as we relived David's hilarious, first and only sky-diving experience as he told us and acted out the story. He also gave us some great practical tips on how to be quicker on our feet with improvisational speaking. Thanks also to Sohana Nanoo, Craig Robertson, and Jean Caldwell for their organisational efforts to make the meeting a great success.

Judith Paterson, Bruce Hopkins, and Craig Sharman have been working together to organise our Annual Awards and Christmas Dinner coming up on the 11th of December. With Greg Ward as our MC/ Entertainer and with the fabulous food and atmosphere, we'll have a great environment to enjoy socialising and celebrating. This year they've also organised a silent auction, so if you have any products or services you'd like to contribute, please contact Craig Sharman on 09 418 1969 or cafelogos@ihug.co.nz Also, remember to buy your ticket by the 30 November.

In response to members' requests for more 'air time' and feedback, we have organised three showcases next year preceding our regular meetings in February, April and June.Speakers at all levels of experience are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to try out their material and receive valuable feedback. Five participants will speak for up to eight minutes
each and receive written feedback from the audience as well as a couple of minutes of verbal feedback from two evaluators. Bruce Hopkins will MC our first showcase in February and is collecting names of those interested in participating, so if you'd like to sign up to speak, email him to register rb_hopkins@xtra.co.nz - just two places left FYI for the February showcase.

We are in for a special treat at our upcoming meeting on the 24th November. All five of our Certified Speaking Professionals will engage in a lively panel discussion filled with their wisdom, experience and practical tips. Also, John Shackleton will speak to us about how to take better advantage of the newest technology to make our presentations be more engaging and entertaining.

Two pre-meeting events will also take place: We have special guests from Singapore, Margaret Loh, the Founding President of the Asia Professional Speakers Singapore (APSS) and Tim Wade, the President Elect for 2010-2011. They will come early to meet with interested members who might want to know what the speaking industry is like in Singapore. They’ll be in our meeting room at 6pm, followed by our National President, Hannah Samuel, who will at 6:45pm enlighten us on the the new accreditation changes which will be taking place in July 2010. These changes will raise up our standards and align our terminology with the international speakers’ community. Hope to see you there!

Thank you to all of you talented speakers who applied for Awards this year. The awards applications are being organised now to be sent to judges this week. Let's look forward to celebrating all our successes over the past year as well as the special success of our .award winners' on the 11th of December.

Here's to an abundant summer season on its way...and to a brilliant year of inspiration ahead in 2010.


Here's to all of us playing our part in igniting the world!

Warm Regards,

Sally Mabelle

John’s passionate about speakers taking their craft to a new level by having a more entertaining presentation and will provide some very useful tips to avoid sending our audiences to sleep with stale material and boring visuals!

His recent clients include: Air New Zealand, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, Honda, Renault, Westpac Bank, ANZ Bank, National Bank, Tower Insurance, AMP, AXA, Canon, Sharp, Sony, Kodak, Avon, Burger King, Subway etc. He speaks in Australia, New Zealand and throughout Asia to a wide variety of audiences of mainly Salespeople, Managers and Business owners but in the last two years he also spoke to Vets, Tax Specialists, Bankers, Farmers, Recruitment Consultants, Doctors, Entrepreneurs, Engineers, Nurses, Mortgage Advisors, Dieticians, Accountants, Lawyers, Builders, Secretaries, Teachers and Schoolchildren. As a keynote speaker and workshop leader John won the 2004 Inspirational Speaker of the Year, the 2005 Business Person of the Year and the prestigious 2007 Speaker of the Year award as voted for by NSANZ  (the National Speakers Association of New Zealand) Auckland Chapter.

In the second session, all five CSPs - Ann Andrews, Allie Mooney, Robyn Pearce, Debbie Mayo-Smith and John Shackleton – will participate in a panel discussion. It will be a fantastic learning opportunity and also your personal opportunity to ask them everything you want to know about speaking.
