Effective Emceeing Skills

You can see why I like going to NACLI's course as I'm back to the Learning Institute today.

Today is another sunny Sunday morning, many of us should be sleeping at home. But about 25 grassroots leaders from all over Singapore turned for the "Effective Emceeing Skills" course conducted by Kim Suah.

What I learnt at the course:

1) EmCee is derived from "Master of Ceremony".

2) Importance of protocol. How to address VIPs and visitors. You can check with your Senior Constituency Manager or the Group Constituency Manager for guidance on the protocol. Most people are not aware who is Group Constituency Manager (GCM). GCM manages a group of constituencies.

3) The 5 key roles of an EmCee are:
a) Composer
b) Coordinator
c) Controller
d) Communicator
e) Controller

What's the most beneficial is the role play. We were video recorded and we reviewed our "performance" together. It was fun to see ourselves "fumble" and we learnt many things along the way.

Most importantly, we met many new friends. I have the opportunity to exchange contacts with some of them. If you are my course mates, do remember to drop a message here.

Nothing beats personal experience, please register yourself at the next "Effective EmCee" course to learn more about it.

To Kim Suah and my course mates Aunty Asna, Noor, Karen, Anthony Richard, Mdm Lee Khadijah, Robin, Peter, Raymond, Albert and many others. Thanks for the great time today. Keep in touch.
