Introduction to the General Evaluator Role

Mark is one of our top evaluators over at Richmond Toastmasters and in this video he explains and performs the General Evaluator role. Mark has really embraced and attempted to improve how we perform this particular role. At RTM, we found that one of our biggest challenges has been delivering the GE report in the allotted time and still make it effective. Mark showed us that you could do both and is now coaching us on how we can also achieve the same.

For those of you that are not familiar with the GE role, it is the role that reports at the end of the evening and evaluates all the roles that haven't been previously evaluated; they don't evaluate the speakers as they are evaluated by their assigned speech evaluators. What the GE does evaluate are the evaluators themselves, the Chairman, Parliamentarian, Inspirator, Jokemaster, Grammarian, Toastmaster, Table Topics Master, etc. The purpose of the evaluations is to provide constructive feedback to those members performing those roles, educate the rest of us, and to help improve the overall functioning of the meeting.

I would really encourage you to take a few minutes and review this video. I'm sure that you'll get some insights that will help you better understand the GE role and perhaps it'll even help you pick up a few pointers about the role you may be called upon to perform in the future.

Make sure that you view the follow-on video where you see Mark in action delivering his report.
