Table topics I wrote on August 13, 2019 for the Toastmasters Club Toast of Berkeley.
For my last meeting at my local Toastmasters Club (Toasts of Berkeley), as Table Topics Master, I wrote a list of topics to randomly assign to each participant. As theme of the evening i selected The Best Salesperson Ever.
Imagine you are the best salesperson and your task is to sell one of the following items. You have two minutes to convince us to buy it.
