### 🌟 This Week’s Theme: Leftovers & Lessons!

We all have “leftover” moments—ideas we didn’t act on, projects we paused, or experiences that didn’t go as planned. Tonight, we’ll turn those leftovers into lessons: stories of what we learned, how we grew, and how second servings of insight can fuel our future successes.

***

### 🎤 What to Expect

✨ Warm Welcome & Icebreaker
“Lesson Dish” – Share one “leftover” idea or experience you initially shelved—and the lesson you later extracted from it.
✨ Prepared Speeches & Table Topics

• Feature Speeches: Watch our speakers transform past missteps or forgotten ideas into powerful takeaways—listen for their key insights.
• Lesson-Driven Table Topics: Draw a prompt that asks you to describe a lesson learned from a “leftover” moment in 1–2 minutes.

✨ Evaluation & Feedback
Help our presenters refine their retellings with feedback from:

• 🧠 Speech Evaluators – Highlighting clarity of lesson and storytelling strengths
• 🗣️ Ah-Counter – Tracking every “um,” “ah,” and filler to keep narratives crisp
• 📖 Grammarian – Noting vivid language, memorable phrasing, and tonight’s Word of the Day
• ⏱️ Timer – Ensuring each lesson stays within its time frame
