Be The Change

Matthias the Speaker.

Yesterday, we were at the Garden Malls to join a group of celebrities including Xandria Ooi for the event - Be The Change. The aims to raise awareness and educate the public on the dire state of the environment. We pledged to give our full support to save our Environment. There was a photo exhibition on environmental issues, too.

The highlight of the event was a talk given by an internationally - recognized speaker, Matthias (can just google) :D the founder of Eco-Warriors. He was also awarded the Greenest Person on the Planet in 2008 by a Canadian Organization. Believe me - he does not own a car but he owns lb hectares of forest plantations in Panama.

Talking about Matthias, he spoke in a very clear tone, a suitable pitch and a moderate rate. All of us managed to follow what he was trying to communication with ease - how to preserve the environment for the next generation!

He had good facial and eye communication too, displaying feelings of anger at people chopping down trees. He made good eye contact with the listeners, always looking at their direction. He answered questions directed to him, showing much interest in the topic of environment. He displayed good body movements especially his hand gesture.

To conclude, Matthias is indeed a good speaker and motivator. He has all the qualities of a good communicator!

Thank you.
