The meeting started with President Liu Bing praising TM Jeff’s agenda which is our club’s first colorful agenda and welcoming honored guests, notably Jim who once visited our club almost 3 years ago and helpfully took the speech evaluator role.
Next, TM Jeff introduced the meeting theme of “influencing” by giving its definition and tips how to influence.

If we deliver our speech in the same way, it’ll be more convincing too.
