This is my 3rd Place speech at the District 55 Fall 2010 Table Topics Competition.
In a Table Topics contest, all contestants are given the same topic, so you are kept outside the room until it is your turn to go on stage, receive the topic, and deliver your speech.
The Table Topics competition is a playoff format. If you win at your "Club" level, you compete against 5-6 other Club Champions at the "Area" level. If you win the "Area" Championship, you compete against 5-6 Area Champions within your Division. If you win the Division Championship, you go to the finals at this District Conference (held November 5th, 2010). This is the highest level the Table Topics Competition goes.
District 55 has 167 current clubs throughout Texas with over 3000 members.
About Table Topics:
Table Topics is a form of public speaking where people are given a random topic, and they must immediately deliver a coherent speech on the fly that lasts between 1-2.5 minutes in front of a bunch of people.
Well done Jacob...you're a master at impromptu public speaking...and to use my success mantra in selling- you communicate extremely well, are fast of your feet and you strive to build long term relationships in your industry. Keep up the good work! AFL
