BINTULU (Oct 22): The Bintulu Speakers Club recently concluded its latest speechcraft programme aimed at equipping participants with essential public speaking skills and boosting their confidence. The workshop, held at the BDA Library from Sept 29 to Oct 19, enhanced the participants’ clarity and confidence in speaking, while providing valuable soft skills that can significantly improve their career prospects, said programme coordinator Hiew Sing Siong.

“During the four engaging sessions, participants learned how to select topics, begin their speeches effectively, express ideas clearly, and provide constructive evaluations,” he said. The first in-person session on Sept 28, titled ‘Selecting your topic’, was conducted by BSC founder Lisa Chee. The second session, ‘Get to the point’, was held online and facilitated by Lai Ling Ling from Brunei Speakers Club, followed by the third online session, ‘Express, don’t explain’, conducted by Shahshi Davien Thomas from Tawau Toastmasters Club.



The final in-person session, ‘Evaluate to elevate’, took place on Oct 19, again led by Chee. In extending Bintulu Speakers Club’s heartfelt gratitude to all participants and facilitators for making this programme a success, Hiew said the club is committed to fostering a supportive environment where individuals can develop their public speaking abilities and enhance their personal and professional growth.
