Welcome to the 26th meeting of Words A.L.I.V.E. Malaysia!
As soon as everyone had convened at HQ, Coach Joseph started the planning session by discussing the student leader (SL) roles and those in the chapter who qualified. Then we discussed the portfolio and decided that Coach Alfred would be in charge of the YSG speakers, Coach Chee Keong would be in charge of the YCCs, and Coach Debra would be in charge of the SLs.

Coach Joseph announced that our chapter would be doing “portfolio coaching,” where speakers are assigned to a coach who is not their parent. The speaker would be accountable to that “portfolio coach” in addition to their parents for their progress in the YSG II.

He also said that all the YSG speakers would be required to present a speech or do impromptu speaking at every meeting, effective next meeting. Oh my!

Finally, we revised the meeting schedule, then adjourned for a tea break.

Shortly after, Coach Debra gathered the SLs around the kitchen table and briefed them, discussing their roles and responsibilities. Some of us weren’t SLs but we listened in all the same. : )

When the meeting was over, the speakers chilled out with a light session of Frisbee, while the parents chatted away.
