1. What is the Table Topics Master?

Table Topics is a chance to strike fear into the hearts of all your members a segment of the Toastmasters meeting that's designed to get several people practice with impromptu speaking. It's a great chance to practice creative thinking on the fly.

By the time you are ready to be Table Topics Master, you will likely have been “victimized” at least half a dozen times during this impromptu speaking section. You will certainly be ready for “revenge”, so keep that in mind as you prepare for this important function.

Table topics is an educational and fun portion of the meeting – if it is well planned. Being a Table Topics Master can improve your planning skills, creative thinking, and your observation skills (some of the fun involves watching for signs that people don't want to be called for a certain question).
