13. When the
evaluator talks…
…and the
speaker listens!

14. Most common method used in Toastmasters
Evaluator talks
Speaker listens
Efficient
Moves smoothly
Avoids conversational digressions

15. Speaker can focus on evaluation
Makes assumptions
Evaluator is experienced
Speaker values the evaluator’s input

16. Show that you are interested
Before the speech, talk with the speaker
about:
Manual objectives
Evaluation guidelines
Any additional concerns

17. Personalize your language
Encourage don’t indict
“I believe” or “I suggest”, not “You didn’t” or
“You failed to”
Use examples – “What I saw” or “What I heard”

18. Evaluate the speech - not the person
Forget sticks and stones, word CAN hurt
Leave out your values or opinions
Your goal is simple
Help the speaker communicate their ideas in a
more effective manner

19. Promote self-esteem
Listen
Take notes
Encourage and inspire
Be honest and sincere

20. Avoiding Whitewash
Do not over-praise or only-praise
Tends to demoralize club
Purpose is to give and receive insight
Empty compliments and platitudes
benefit no one

26. Evaluations are important learning tools
When assigned to evaluate
We polish our own skills
We assist others meet their goals
Be positive, be constructive,
be informative

27. The speaker is more advance than I am?
I am suppose to tell him what is right and
what is wrong?
Present evaluation in sandwich manner, good
+ bad + good?

28. As long as you are an audience, you are
qualify.
You are only providing feedback
You are not judging
Sandwich is for presenting evaluation, not an
approach in looking for good and bad about
the speech
