Our guests Nancy and Diana B. joined us early and we had the opportunity to find out that Nancy found us through Eventbrite and Diana B, DTM found us via D99 fan page (Nancy only joined briefly) Grammarian Yeshu gave us WOD: Riveting (completely engrossing; compelling). Everyone used the WOD throughout the meeting.
1st speaker: Cherry's speech title: Mental Health starts with your hands. Cherry used her body gestures, props and hand exercises to demonstrate how one can connect with her audience. Cherry also explained those exercises healed her carpal tunnel, and relieved her shoulders, neck pain and migraine headache; thus changed her life up side down, to live a pain free life.
2nd speaker: Dan split us into 2 breakout rooms to discuss and define "What is a WOW meeting?" and how we might engage audience in our next workshop. As we resumed back to the main room, Bonnie represented the 1st group and Dan represented the 2nd group. Ideas came up were: Let people talk about themselves, tell us their stories, what they know and what they like to know, Role play, e.g. love boat with roles assigned ahead of time such as captain, servers, seamen etc... Panel of 3 interview, ZOOM experts, get things started ahead, sent video to win a prize, do write up & vote, court house, wedding, police stations, the list goes on.
Edith lead us into a WOW Table topics moment, she started something like this:
'Today we are gathered here to read the contents of Aunt Bessie’s will. You know Aunt Bessie was rather eccentric. She had no close family m embers. You never knew what she was up to nor do we know if she has a fortune or if she flittered her money away on lottery tickets, gifts, coffee, trips, casinos.
You are all special people that she had asked me, her executor, to gather.
Your job is to convince me, and those gathered here why you deserve Auntie Bessie’s fortune, whatever it is. I will let you know who you are when I call upon you.
When we are finished, please send me your vote as to whojoin you thought gave the best argument as to why they deserve Aunt Bessie’s fortune.
her introverted nephew, Dan
the newspaper girl, Eileen
her pharmacist, Cherry
her tea buddy, (Bonnie
her hair stylist, Yeshu
her travel buddy, (Diana)
her next door neighbour. (Susan)
I am pleased to announce that Yeshu was voted as the most deserving of Aunt Bessie’s fortune.
Oh dear, she had 98 cents left on her Tim Horton’s card and $3 on her MacDonald’s card.'
We had a full agenda meeting, we engaged our audience through speeches, group discussion involving everyone thinking caps, Edith gave everyone a speaking role as shown above. Nobody left the zoom room without speaking.
