[23/11/2015 2:05 pm] Tina Chan: Lydia, Peggie, I also want to learn more how to make the class more interactive, so far our class is more listen and we sometimes we also 懇談 but still not too satisfactory

• Try to make them laugh 
• Sense of humor does a great job
• Start from yourself 
• Say something of interest to everyone 
• Your own experience or others 
• Say it with enthusiasm in a clear voice 
• Sharp  n to the point
• Don't drag 
• Ppl don't have much patience these days unless u strike their cords
• Having said the above the most important thing is for us to chant for a happy successful gathering
• Lecture should be kept short
• Try Not to read toooooo much from print outs
• If possible speak main points stead of reading 
• Invite +pick someone and ask if they have experience to share
• Ppl love to hear experience s
• Try to make your topics lively
• 懇談may sound a bit too serious 
• Make it seem like a friendly gathering
• Your sincere concern n care about members well being n happiness is key to success

A Japanese senior member gave a talk in a big gathering
When asked questions there was only one response 
He said he knew he would only get one response 
BECAUSE he only paid one home visit 
N the response came from that one person!!!!!!

[23/11/2015 2:38 pm] Lydia Leung: Tina glad u asked
Take action n u will get a A happy lively successful meeting
