Myth: Toastmasters published and my reality

 

Finished Level 3 as you see here, and approved got certificate. Every project in it got a feedback, saved in the Path folder of my computer. I can upload the FFF evaluations on my eportofolio, but only I will ever see them there. 

I did not got yet an award for it, just realised and asked one of my clubs if they want it, need it. 

As you see I am in those clubs, member of many. Four of them born as online global clubs. The last one went online for the moment, mid March. 

Trial : so many new things lately!

Every application, almost, ask me nowadays new prove it is me. Many do not work as before. Sometimes open or close without me asking it. Or write something I did not write.

Yes, I am an early adapter but did not ask for so many things to change at the same time! And where is the  Insert Picture icon? 

Found it! In ... at the end under three points. Why they hid it?

Me with different backgrounds. And bellow, my Toastmasters clubs. 

Body language and culture

Looking in your eyes?

Laughing to your jokes? 

Moving near you?

Head movements?

Auto depreciation ?

So many things we take as grounded are different from culture to culture. 

First, we have to understand the difference then be genuine, tell them that is how we do. Perhaps even a short story why. Make them understand the context and also listen to what they say and be genuinely interested in their way and what they say. 

Online, Gallery View in Zoom, your face, eyes, found so much! They are always seen, looked at by some of the participants. We get to know each other even more intimate then in a room, even when we can not touch or smell.
