This video contains the content of the very first Ice Breaker speech I gave at my club Words on Wings (WOW), on Friday April 30th 2021.
I chose to follow the Presentation Mastery Pathway to help me become better at public speaking. This was my Level 1 - Project 1 speech.
The purpose of this project was to introduce myself to the club and learn the basic structure of a public speech.
I had to write and deliver a speech about any topic.
The speech could’ve been humorous, informational, or any other style that appealed to me.
It had to be between 4 and 6 minutes.
A speech evaluator had to give me an effective evaluation of my speech and delivery style.

** FEEDBACK I RECEIVED**
I received some very encouraging feedback from the club members which was really nice, especially since I actually lost my bearings at some point and had a total blank for a few long seconds. I wanted to disappear but then I made it to the end, what a relief!
Here are some of the other member's comments:
* Wonderful ice-breaker ! Lively, inspirational, and a real « connector » ! Félicitations !!! By the way, I was involved at ICAO with ePassports for a long time. Great field of activity !
* Good visual presentation with plants....good body language. As the ice breaker, it's good. For next time, you might want to work on structure. Thank you for your speech.
* Dear Patricia, As per the name of the Club,....WOW. What a wonderful Icebreaker. If this is the start of your journey, what does the future hold?! Thank you so much for your speech.
* Very enthusiastic and confident speech. Bravo!
* Patricia, a great speech, very natural. You did not lose your verve, pauses were actually welcome to give structure. I like your analogy and that you used actual plants to illustrate it.
* Wow that was an excellent icebreaker speech! Well- structured and balanced with both seriousness and humour. Just don't rely on your notes so much! Great job. BTW I am Haitian too!
*Hi Patricia, what an excellent speech. I enjoyed it very much, what impressive accomplishments you have. I like starting your speech with a question. Tone, facial expression, volume and use of the word of the day were all great! Bravo! You are now ready for the next speech.
* Great first speech Patricia! You clearly explained to us who you are and with a good structure keep up on that line. Room for improvement, I would suggest you to internalize a bit better the speech in order not to get lost. Nerves may have played a bit with you too, but it will get better ;)
* Patricia, bravo! What a great story!
* My pleasure but, again, it is we who thank you. You may have been nervous but that is to be expected. Looking forward to future presentations and roles you take on at future meetings. :-)
*That's also what I would suggest ... Have a five word intro ... three points structure ... use the same sentence at the end to link it ... Really motivating!!
* Well done Patricia. You are a natural speaker. You have all the speaking skills already, vocal variety, body language etc. You exude warmth which makes it easy to connect with you. Confidence in speaking without notes will come with practice..

Hello friends! Please don't hesitate to leave your thoughts, I'm here to learn! What did you like? What do you think can be improved for the next videos? Let me know! Thank you very much for your feedback!
Presentation Mastery is also my Path, I did my ice breaker last month and this month I'm doing my speech about a childhood memory. Thanks for your tips
I like the way you smile and light up when talking about being a citizen of Canada and sharing the props (flags)

hahaha, Thank you so much Missy LA! Yes, that was a very proud moment in my life!
Congratulations Pat!! I am so encouraged to see the new thriving plant that you are! And a very well-done Ice Breaker speech. I'm curious to see how you've progressed within your communication/ Toastmasters journey. When I get a chance, I'll look through your other videos in case they answer that question. Lastly, I just finished The Garden Within by Dr. Anita Phillips. That is also a great read if you're interested!

Hello Harina! That's so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope you find resources that can help you with your pathway!! OMG, I've been meaning to purchase that book! Thanks for the reminder, off to Amazon to order it! Thank you and take care!
As far as ice breakers go that is a pretty decent one. You possess a charm and charisma which that carries across the camera. I like the analogy with the plant. I cannot tell you how impressed I am you are documenting your journey. This will inspire other members to rise their game. Keep up the good work Patti.

Thank you so much Scott! I really appreciate it! Well, it's a start, let's see where it goes. I sure am having a lot of fun with this.. well, stay tuned, I'm giving my L1P3 speech today at the club and will be posting it online this weekend. I think it should be better than the 2 previous ones. Thank you and have a great long weekend!
I'm sure you completed this Pathway and moved on to the next one by now. But I plan to follow you here since this is also my Path. Great job on your first speech. You were energic, and very personable and I really enjoyed your props throughout the speech. My gift to you maybe to slow down a little at time it felt like your words ran together. Overall EXCELLENT. I just wrote my first speech and will be sharing it on 5/15/24. LOL
