Highlights of Fireside Chat -“Road to Championship” (6 Feb 2026)

The Art of Storytelling & Persuasion 🚀The Masterclass: Where Persuasion & Storytelling Meet the Secrets of Public Speaking Champions (6 Feb) We hosted a Fireside Chat that stripped away "performance" of public speaking to reveal the psychology of growth & influence. If you missed the energy (and Chicken Tikka), here’s elite-level takeaways from our champions, first-time contestants & mentors. Leadership insights abound. Mentorship is at the heart of your growth: Helmed by our Toastmasters of the Event, our Mentor-Mentee duo: Barry Teo & Yan Yi Seow, supported by powerdance (HungYi) , with authentic & thought-proking convo facilitated by Club President Jessica Chai Pei Shan (谢佩珊) If you’re looking to lead, influence, or speak with more impact in 2026, here’s 4 lessons that hit differently: 1️⃣Build a "Story Library" International Speech Champion Renee Conklin shared a pro-tip: Don't wait for inspiration. Build a library of frameworks (Past/Present/Future). Persuasion isn't a performance; it’s authenticity with structure. 2️⃣Be Comfortable with the "Uncomfortable" MengLai (People’s Choice Champion) remind us that growth is a "village." It takes a community to polish a message. If you aren't feeling a bit of friction, you aren't growing. 3️⃣The "Commit First" Rule 🤝 First-time contestants Rajaraman nailed it: Commit first, then you can't chicken out. High-stakes growth happens the moment you say "yes" before you feel "ready." Edwin T. TT is impromptu—just try, experience the moment🎤 4️⃣Land One Clear Message 🎯Our mentors dropped gold: Jeff: “Do it or you don’t.” Michell: structure + emotional resonance Raymond C.C. Ee : land your message in 7 mins + “everything can be funny” Jei Sim: bring CTA upfront, hammer it throughout Pei Shan: rehearse in parts (intro +body + conclusion) Key: “The community is your mentor.” 🔥The reality: In a world chasing individual success, we’re finding that confidence compounds in safe spaces. Whether it was Champion Yan Yi Seow weaving history into Table Topics (creative response to “Four-letter word that says it all”or Evania ditched the script for a "Wonder Woman" delivery—the takeaway was the same: Cadence Cheng: Courage isn't loud. It’s choosing yourself, repeatedly. 🎤Champion Showcase Speeches: Meng Lai — “Don’t Be Late” | @Emily first evaluation: 3Cs (Confidence/Clarity/Connectedness) Tan Qing Lin — “Invincible” 🤝 🗣️ Table Topics (TT) Marathon by Nevin Subash : 9 TT speakers | Congrats Best TT: Moayad Ismail (built app streamline check-in)📱 A huge shoutout to members/backstage: Timer: Bei He Welcome Desk: Neha Sachan, @jiayi & LL MMM: Liang Zhang Photographer: Anna Iwona Morawska Videographer: Donathon Ong Writer: Evania Wong Editor: Peishan One word to describe the night?
