World Champion Evaluator evaluating like a champion

I love being the General Evaluator at a Toastmasters meeting.  Today, I seized the opportunity.

I asked a simple question:

Who learns from an evaluation?

The answer is that everyone does:

• The speaker is obviously a direct recipient of the information.
• The evaluator learns by giving the advice.  Hearing it come from their own mouth reinforces the message.
• The audience learns from hearing both the speaker and the evaluation.

Starting off your general evaluation in this way does two important things:

1. Prepares everyone at the club to listen to the evaluator, relating what they hear to themselves.
2. Orients the evaluators to the fact that they are teaching everyone.
