 How did you feel when
your speech didn’t go well?
How was your Evaluator?

Or..
Cold? Warm?

Motivational?
Have you ever consider how
your evaluation will help or
will not help the speaker?
TERRIBLE
MISTAKE!

I didn’t motivate her.

Let’s do it right…

Providing immediate feedback

Supportive commentary

Helpful suggestions

Positive reinforcement

Offering methods for improvement

Hard to judge ourselves

Evaluators offer new perspective

Recognize and solve difficulties

Building and maintaining self-esteem

Build on strengths

Correct flaws

Spills over into personal and
professional lives
When the
evaluator talks…

…and the
speaker listens!

Most common method used in Toastmasters

Evaluator talks

Speaker listens

Efficient

Moves smoothly

Avoids conversational digressions

Speaker can focus on evaluation

Makes assumptions

Evaluator is experienced

Speaker values the evaluator’s input

Show that you are interested

Before the speech, talk with the speaker

about:

Manual objectives

Evaluation guidelines

Any additional concerns

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”

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

Promote self-esteem

Listen

Take notes

Encourage and inspire

Be honest and sincere

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

Review the Effective Speech Evaluation
manual.

Talk with the speaker before the
presentation

Review the goals and evaluation criteria
of the speech.

Evaluator’.

Evaluations are important learning tools

When assigned to evaluate

We polish our own skills

We assist others meet their goals

Bepositive, be constructive,
be informative

The speaker is more advance than I am?

Iam suppose to tell him what is right and

what is wrong?

Presentevaluation in sandwich manner, good

+ bad + good?

As
long as you are an audience, you are
qualify.

You are only providing feedback

You are not judging

Sandwichis for presenting evaluation, not an

approach in looking for good and bad about
the speech

Review how we have been evaluating

Adapt and change
