We also have an invited speaker, Nick French, ACS, CL, to give us a Special Presentation - "It's Fun to be Funny!"
Do you yearn to be a more entertaining presenter by injecting humour into your speeches? Are you afraid to administer the needle – or perhaps don’t know how to operate the syringe?
Delivering humour is certainly one of the most difficult elements of speech crafting. Find out what it takes to have fun preparing and presenting humour while transforming an ordinary ‘simply static’ speech into one that is ‘stunningly fantastic’. Learn techniques in applying humour and develop a reputation as a confident, competent, and entertaining speaker.
About the Speaker:
Nick French was born and educated in Harare, Zimbabwe
He is qualified with a Master of Science degree in Metallurgy and Material Science and an MBA from the University of Cape Town, South Africa – longer ago than he chooses to remember!
His South African based career has spanned a number of sales and marketing positions in the industrial gas, base and precious metal industries and more recently, petrochemicals. He has extensive sales experience in Europe, South America , the Middle East and of course, the Asia Pacific.
He joined Sasol, a South African Energy company in 1994 and shortly afterwards was transferred to Singapore to establish the regional sales office. He is currently the Asia Pacific regional marketing manager for the chemicals division of Sasol, where his responsibilities require him to work across most Asian cultures.
Nick’s interest in Asian culture and etiquette inspired him to write a book on this subject – Asian Ways , (www.Asian-Ways.com) which was published last year.
He is a past president of the SIM II Toastmasters club and over the last three years has competed in a Division B and District 80 speech contests.
