Missed the Willetton Evaluation Workshop? Catch Bob Ferguson’s Tips
If you missed the recent Willetton Toastmasters Evaluation Workshop with Bob Ferguson, there is still an opportunity to learn from a session packed with practical ideas for becoming a more effective evaluator.
Bob Ferguson, a renowned World Class Speaker Coach, shared his approach to Creating Excellent Evaluations, showing why effective feedback is one of the most powerful skills a Toastmaster can develop. It not only helps fellow members grow—it can strengthen your own speaking and leadership skills too.
A key message from the workshop was simple: “tips, tips, tips.” Bob encouraged evaluators to build their own tip sheet, identifying what they hear, see, feel and understand in a speech, then developing practical recommendations that help speakers improve.
The session also explored how evaluation skills can support speech competitions and the workplace. One particularly valuable reminder was that a recommendation should be a gift—optional to accept and accompanied by a positive way to improve.
Whether you attended and want to revisit the ideas or missed the session completely, the recording and workshop resources offer a chance to learn at your own pace.
Don’t let the opportunity pass. Watch, practise, and bring one new evaluation tip to your next meeting.
