Case in Point

For this week I wanted to tell the story of my Sacrament meeting experience this past Sunday. In the first of three talks, the girl speaking had no direction or purpose to her talk. She had mixed thoughts, unrelated stories and ended without a recap or emphasis. The second speaker began her talk and within 30 seconds she lost me. She wasn't a speaker, she was a reader. Even though her talk was laced with jokes and one-liners, she lost my respect and my attention. This iterates again the importance of being a good teacher and reaching out of her normal zone to hit all types of listeners. Granted I should have used the techniques of CETE (Wong) but lots rests on the leader of discussion, the person who has the floor.
