The 296th Naniwa TMC Regular Meeting in May/2026

Regular meeting held through Online.

A　昨日のナニワのミーティングどうやった？

B　おもろかったで。　なんせテーマがWeather やったから即興スピーチのコーナーでメンバーの楽しい話がいろいろ聞けたし、フォーマル・スピーチは３本あった。

A　へぇ、面白そうやな。

B　１本目はトーストマスター活動と自分との関りについて、２本目は同窓会についてユーモアたっぷりのスピーチで、3本目は人間関係において大切な事を気づかせてくれるスピーチやった。その後、参加者全員が順に感想を述べたんやけど、それぞれ視点が違っておもしろかった。

A　なるほど

B　あと、トーストマスターズには会員が自分の目的に沿ってコミュニケーション力とかリーダーシップを鍛えることができるPathwaysっていうプログラムがあってな、その使い方や魅力を伝えるプレゼンもあった。

A　なんかむつかしそうやな

B　いやいや、最近改良されて使いやすくなったし、使えば使うほどはまるらしいで。

　ベテランの会員の経験談やアドバイスも聞けてちょっとやる気がでてきたわ。

We had a lively Online meeting on １６May.

A: How was yesterday's meeting in Naniwa?

B: It was fun. Since the theme was Weather, we got to hear various interesting stories from members in the impromptu speech segment, and there were three formal speeches.

A: Oh, that sounds interesting.

B: The first was about the relationship between Toastmasters activities and myself, the second was a humorous speech about a reunion, and the third was a speech that made you realize what’s important in human relationships. After that, all the participants shared their impressions in turn, and it was interesting to see the different perspectives.

A: I see.

B: Also, Toastmasters has a program called Pathways where members can develop communication and leadership skills according to their own goals, and there was a presentation explaining how to use it and its appeal.

A: That sounds kind of difficult.

B: No, no, it has been recently improved and made easier to use, and apparently, the more you use it, the more you get hooked. I also got to hear stories and advice from veteran members, which gave me a bit of motivation.
