Try a Group Oral Evaluation
A member of the club called me before the day's meeting. "I have to give a speech today at work about our evacuation plan," she said. "It would be great if I could practice the speech at today's meeting." I pondered it for only a few seconds. "I got something better.  How about you give the speech and we'll have an oral, group evaluation right afterwards?" She agreed. Later she told me that the speech went very well in large part due to her practicing it at the meeting and receiving the members' feedback and recommendations.

Of course, there is no officially recognized Toastmasters' practice. I came up with the idea of a GOE a few years ago, although I suspect other clubs have something similar. I had volunteered to serve as keynote speaker for a Black History Month luncheon. I got to work on the topic and the speech, without much thought of tying it into my Toastmaster's club. Sure, I was going to use everything that I had learned as a Toastmaster, but I had no plans to present it to the club. Then I had a thought:  Why not present the speech to the club and have a discussion about it afterward? I was the club's president and broached the idea to club members who wholeheartedly agreed to do it.

I have used the GOE informally roughly five times in my Toastmaster's career. I recognize, of course, that I do not have authority to make it a customary practice. Toastmaster's formal system is the tried and true method; however, properly used, a GOE is of the many additional techniques available to help members who are preparing for outside speaking opportunities.

What then, is a GOE? Loosely defined, a GOE is just that:  a brief, oral evaluation by club members of a speaker who wants the benefit of an evaluation to prepare for an outside speech that is not necessarily tied to a speech project. Typically, the speaker gives the speech during the Educational portion of the meeting. The speaker tells the audience about the speech and any particular issues she wants addressed. She tells the audience the time limit, the audience she'll present it to, and the purpose. Of course, the Toastmaster of the Day can provide the introduction as well, but it is not necessary. The goal is for the speaker to become master of all facets of the speech she will present.

I belonged to club where a member was scheduled to give an outside presentation on a very technical area at a conference sponsored by her agency. We did a GOE for her, and she said she found it very helpful. A few other members have expressed interest in doing one as well for some upcoming work related speeches they have to give. Indeed, I plan to use the GOE to prepare me for an upcoming conference where I am serving as a presenter.

Admittedly, this type of activity is not an officially recognized evaluation technique. Rather, it is an offshoot of various elements of Toastmasters; yet it can be extremely beneficial for the speaker, and the members. The speaker receives the benefit of immediate feedback for her speech, and the members receive the benefit of providing a different kind of an evaluation. One drawback of a GOE is that a member may not earn credit for a speech, but that is not always the case. A regular evaluation and a GOE can be combined so that the member can get credit for a speech.

Evaluations are in integral party of the Toastmaster's experience. Speeches are evaluated, roles are evaluated, and evaluations are even evaluated. We serve as evaluators and conduct evaluation contests. So ingrained is evaluating in Toastmasters that we unconsciously find ourselves evaluating all types of speeches, from Sunday sermons to the boss's award presentation to Presidential speeches. Toastmaster evaluations are formal and mostly written. A speech evaluator writes his evaluation of a speaker in the Evaluation Guide of the speech project; members evaluate roles by writing them on Evaluation Sheets. An evaluation technique that I have used on a few occasions, as mentioned above, throughout my Toastmaster career is, for lack of an officially recognized term,Robe De Mariee, a Group Oral Evaluation (GOE).

The idea was for me to give the audience the who,Robe De Mariee pas cher, what, when, where and how of the speech, deliver it, receive oral evaluations, and then to have an exchange about the speech and evaluator comments. After I delivered the speech at a meeting, the evaluation turned into a back and forth type of exchange, with members pointing out certain speech elements, and me commenting on the points. It was extremely beneficial to me, and prepared me for the actual address. I gave the speech, quite well I may add, and even had a Toastmaster in the audience to provide a written evaluation for The Keynote Address under The Professional Speaker Manual

I find it works best if the GOE is the last speech that is evaluated,Robe De Mariage pas cher, because it requires more time than a normal 2-3 minute evaluation. During the evaluation portion, the speaker, or the Master Evaluator, asks if any members have comments. A time limit of one minute can be placed on each member. Unlike a typical evaluation, the speaker can then address the comments; for example, the speaker may want to explain to an evaluator why she chose a particular example, or an evaluator and the speaker may have an exchange addressing a certain aspect of the speech.
