【Prepared speech session】
There were 3 speakers and all of them were experienced members.
続いてスピ―チセッション。今回のスピーチは3名。皆さん、経験豊富なメンバーの方ばかりでした。
1st Speaker: TM NS /Speech Title :“NISA”
TM NS is one of our experienced members and he performed like a professional speaker this time.
“NISA” is a timely and high attention in Japan so everyone was very interested in this topic.
He delivered about 20-min long speech, but it was very informative, clear and easy to understand.
Starting from introducing three methods to grow assets: stocks, bonds and real estate, then explaining benefits of NISA, such as “tax exemption” and “diversified investment, as well as the downside of “no guaranty of principal.” with some failure experience. In addition, he advised generational investment methods for workers and the seniors.
Lastly, he recommended, “Decide which one you want to buy using NISA!!”
It was like he was a professional advisor and we participated in a real financial seminar.
Everyone, start NISA to grow our asset for the future!
最初のスピーカーは、経験豊富なTM NS。スピーチタイトルは“NISA”。
今の日本で注目度が高いトピックスです。資産を増やす株式、債権、不動産の3つの方法の説明からスタートして、NISAの”非課税”“分散投資”といったメリットや“元本割れの可能性がある”デメリット、さらには、働く人向け、年長者向けの世代別の運用方法など、20分以上のスピーチでしたが、簡潔に分かりやすい説明でした。
彼のレコメンドは、“LISAを使って購入したい複数の資産を購入する決断をしましょう!“
まるで金融セミナーのようなプロフェッショナルなスピーチでした。
皆さん、将来のためにNISAを始めましょう!
2nd Speaker: TM KO /Speech Title :“After Big Party”
TM KO is Mr. Entertainer of YTMC! He shared the review about PARTY after District 76 Annual conference 2024 for the first time in 5 years after COVID-19 pandemic. He was a leader of that PARTY project. It was a powerful speech with beautiful PowerPoint slides, covering topics such as his leadership skills, team coordination, tips for entertaining a big party, such as table-seat cards, “Aitai” cards (comment sheets), and how to create excitement of the party using gorgeous game prizes.
“Project members “enjoy”, the maximum is very important, it leads project to success!” It is his motto as a leader. It sounded very strong and impressive.
156 participants joined and that PARTY could be fully succeeded. He and his team’s contribution paid off. We are proud of him.
2番目のスピーカーは、エンターテイナー TM KO 。 スピーチタイトルは”After Big Party”
彼がプロジェクトをリードしたコロナ後5年ぶりに開催された全国大会の終了後に開催された懇親会プロジェクトの経験談でした。
彼のリーダーシップ力、チームの纏め方、大きなパーティの準備・進め方のコツ、テーブルカード、Aitaiカード(コメントシート)、豪華なゲーム景品などを使ったパーティの盛り上げ方など、とても綺麗なパワーポイントのスライドを使った素晴らしいスピーチでした。“プロジェクトメンバーが最大限プロジェクトを楽しむことが重要で成功の鍵”というリーダーとしての格言も印象的でした。
彼や彼のチーム貢献により156名という大勢の方が参加した素晴らしい懇親会が成功出来たということは否めませんね。
3rd Speaker: TM TT /Speech Title :“My Mentor and I”
TM TT is our mother of YTMC! She provided a wonderful, heartwarming speech about her actual experience of her first mentor’s kind support and advice to her. It was a very dramatic and emotional speech, conveying her love and gratitude towards her mentor. Her final message, “Thanks to my mentor, I have been enjoying YTMC for over 20 years!” . It was a particularly impactful message. Please continue to enjoy YTMC from now on!
3番目のスピーカーは、YTMCの母、TM T。スピーチタイトルは”My mentor and I”
彼女の最初のメンターの彼女に対する優しい対応・アドバイスについて、いくつかの事例を交えてスピーチしていただきました。彼女のメンターの方への愛情や感謝の気持ちが伝わるとても良い暖かいスピーチでした。“彼女のメンターのおかげで、20年以上のYTMC活動は楽しい!“という最後のメッセージはとてもインパクトのあるメッセージでした。
【Evaluation session】
After the intermission, it was time for our 3 professional evaluators to make an evaluation.
休憩の後は、論評のセッションでした。プロフェッショナルな3名の論評者のご登場。
1st evaluator: TM YO for TM NS speech about “NISA”
His evaluation was very excellent and comfortable, demonstrating both professional insights and technical expertise as an experienced member. He also talked about his wife’s recent behavior to be interested in NISA. He lastly said “We should buy NISA!” It may be a message toward himself.
最初の論評者はTM YO. TMSのスピーチに関する論評です。
経験豊富なメンバーとして、知識・技術面からも優れた論評でした。奥様が最近NISAに興味があるようです。最後の“NISAを買いましょう”という発言は、彼自身へのメッセージかもしれませんね。
2nd evaluator: TM TS for TM KO speech about “After Big Party”
She is an experienced and professional member. She wanted to provide many high praises for his speech but focused on three excellent and highlight points, which were ①the use of beautiful and visually appealing slides, ② detailed explanation of meticulous planning and execution, ③ the heartfelt explanation and message as a project leader thought the purpose of this project. Despite being an online review, it was incredible that she gave us the feeling as if we were listening in person at the venue.
2番目の論評者は、こちらも経験豊富なTM TS。今回のスピ―チの多くの高評価のうち、①綺麗で分かりやすいスライドの利用、②綿密な計画と実行の具体的な説明、③今回のプロジェクトの目的に沿ったプロジェクトリーダーとしての気持ちがこもった説明が、特に3つ良いポイントとして挙げられました。今回はオンラインからの論評でしたが、まるで会場で聞いているような感じしたのは流石でした。
3rd evaluator: TM KM for TM TT speech about “My Mentor and I”
He praised not only for the content of her speech but also for the excellence in delivering her speech. He also used “If I were you” suggestion for room for improvement. It was really softly convincing and persuasive expression which was reflected in his developing as a university teacher. I also would like to try using it the next time I’m appointed as an evaluator.
3番目の論評者は、TM KM。
コンテンツの内容だけでなく、スピーチを伝える方法のすばらしさの点などを高評価として挙げられました。また改善点の説明の際に、彼が使った“If I were you,“ の表現は、彼が大学の教師として培われている納得感・説得力がある表現で、とても勉強になりました。私も、論評者に指名された際には、今度使ってみたいと思います。
General Evaluator was our president TM KT.
She made an evaluation about proceeding the whole meeting and 3 evaluators with precise and uniqueness. Especially it was informative and appropriate that she appointed that the meeting room change without a rectum coincidentally helped improve TM YO’s speech attitude better.
総合論評者は、プレジデント TM T。
例会全体の進行と3名の論評者について、的確でかつユニークな論評でした。
特に、登壇台がない場所でTM YOのスピーチの姿勢や態度が改善したという指摘は、納得感があり素晴らしかったです。
