How was the Evaluation
      for you?
How did you feel when
your speech didn’t go well?

                  Or..
Cold?                          Warm?
Unkind?                         Kind?
Discouraging?                 Sincere?
Unmotivational?          Encouraging?
                         Motivational?
Have you ever consider how
your evaluation will help or
 will not help the speaker?
TERRIBLE
MISTAKE!


 I didn’t motivate her.
Let’s do it right…
Providing immediate feedback
 Supportive commentary
 Helpful suggestions
 Positive reinforcement
Offering methods for improvement
 Hard to judge ourselves
 Evaluators offer new perspective
 Recognize and solve difficulties
Building and maintaining self-esteem
 Build on strengths
 Correct flaws
 Spills over into personal and
 professional lives
When the
evaluator talks…


                         …and the
                   speaker listens!
Most common method used in Toastmasters
 Evaluator talks
 Speaker listens
Efficient
 Moves smoothly
 Avoids conversational digressions
Speaker can focus on evaluation
Makes assumptions
 Evaluator is experienced
 Speaker values the evaluator’s input
Show that you are interested

Before the speech, talk with the speaker
about:
 Manual objectives
 Evaluation guidelines
 Any additional concerns
Personalize your language
 Encourage don’t indict
 “I believe” or “I suggest”, not “You didn’t” or
 “You failed to”
 Use examples – “What I saw” or “What I heard”
Evaluate the speech - not the person
 Forget sticks and stones, word CAN hurt
 Leave out your values or opinions

Your goal is simple
 Help the speaker communicate their ideas in a
 more effective manner
Promote self-esteem
 Listen
 Take notes
 Encourage and inspire
 Be honest and sincere
Avoiding Whitewash
 Do not over-praise or only-praise
 Tends to demoralize club
 Purpose is to give and receive insight
 Empty compliments and platitudes
 benefit no one
Review the Effective Speech Evaluation
manual.
Talk with the speaker before the
presentation
Review the goals and evaluation criteria
of the speech.

Evaluations are important learning tools

When assigned to evaluate
 We polish our own skills
 We assist others meet their goals

Be positive, be constructive,
be informative
The speaker is more advance than I am?

I am suppose to tell him what is right and
what is wrong?

Present evaluation in sandwich manner, good
+ bad + good?
As long as you are an audience, you are
qualify.

You are only providing feedback
 You are not judging

Sandwich is for presenting evaluation, not an
approach in looking for good and bad about
the speech
Review how we have been evaluating

Adapt and change
