It's okay. Stuff happens.

GM rallies around its #ChevyGuy 'and stuff' Shortly before 9 a.m. on the day after the worst night of his life, Rikk Wilde got the phone call from his big boss at General Motors.

...and if you are loud and make a mistake, it really is okay. Your audience will probably forgive you.

"Don't let your voice sound like all the other noises today. Be loud, be clear, and make a difference!" - Mary Riesberg

At yesterday's meeting, we held a Mock Speech Evaluation contest, with the speaker being a Youtube recording from a District Humorous Speech Contest held in Malaysia.

The winning evaluation was given by Chris Evans-Webber, who noted how difficult it is to come up with suggestions for such an advanced speaker, but nevertheless gave very good feedback about what she did well, and what would make the speech even more effective.

What are your favorite moments from this speech? How did she manage to do this without offending anyone? Or was it offensive?
