Joye Davis-Kirchner, Political Officer, talks about public speaking to those gathered at the American Corners in Batumi. Joye described different kinds of speeches—icebreakers, award presentations, technical presentations, persuasive speeches—and involved the participants in mini demonstrations of these skills. Joye is a long time member of Toastmaster’s International, a volunteer organization made of those who seek to improve their public speaking skills in a positive mentoring atmosphere. At the conclusion of the presentation, Joye fielded questions from the audience about public speaking and how to improve job interviewing skills.
