open.spotify.com/episode/4jHV... On Monday morning at 08:40 I listened to my friend Simon. When I heard him say he felt a little bit jealous, I was reminded of feelings I have had

open.spotify.com/episode/1KEJ... I’ve listened to this episode of Simon’s podcast. My reply : At Toastmasters4Golf meetings, the prepared speeches come one after another. Immediately after the final speech, the evaluations are given. All this happens in the first part of the meeting.

open.spotify.com/episode/6KJ9... I’m listening to my friend Toastmaster Simon. He’s preparing to give a 4-30 minute speech - practising the art of #LessIsMore. One main, key message. I’m impressed because such practice would be good for me. I’m going to follow @Sm2N ‘s example
