To build credibility and demonstrate expertise, I recommend that the evaluator refer to specific speech projects in the new Competent Communicator manual when pointing out areas for improvement & specific suggestions.

Update from the Contest front:

My Evaluation was judged as the best one delivered last night at the 2011 District 36 Evaluation Contest Finals!

To all who find this series in the future: the content ROCKS if you practice hard and integrate it into your own style.

Thanks again Andrew!

Thanks for this series Andrew!

After winning my club Evaluation Contest this year I knew I’d have to beef up for Area so I turned to your blog. Of most help for me have been #3 and #4 in this series. The sandwich technique, templates and particularly the resources from New Zealand have been nothing short of spectacular.

While consistent practice has been an important contributor, I credit this series as highly influential in helping me earn the opportunity to compete in the 2011 District 36 Evaluation Contest Finals in three days.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!
