Thank you,look forward seeing you Friday April 27th!

Dear fellow Toastmasters District 51,

Thank you so much for all your encouragement, support and issues put forward. Your concern, challenges and ideas were noted seriously in our constant quest for growth within the club as well as the division and subsequently the district and the organization.

It had taught me extremely valuable skills working with a group of passionate member. 

Toastmasters learning in hindsight were hands-down the most valuable classes I undertook and it has taught me that real leadership education is hard, but definitely worth it in the end.

I look forward meeting you this Thursday evening onwards and definitely on Friday morning and noon. Thank you once again and am looking forward for your support!

Toastmasters International Brand Positioning

I wasn’t born a leader. They were all around me though. In the community, at work, at school. Leaders were everywhere. They were the heads of families, coaches of teams, business leaders, mentors, organizational decision-makers. 


I admired these leaders. They influenced who I was and who I was becoming. Whatever they did professionally or how they became what they were, I aspired to walk in their footsteps.


And, so, I committed myself to becoming one.


Finally, it came to me. It wasn’t just what leaders knew that enabled them to lead. They had a voice. They could tell their story. 
They could listen and answer. They didn’t just accomplish, they communicated.


So I set out to find my voice. Learn to process information on my toes. I needed to learn to listen. Learn to give feedback — and accept it. I needed to organize, plan, deliver, follow up. I needed a place where all the ingredients were there, and someone would guide me along the way.


I found that place. I found a community of learners and the path to leadership.

I am a leader — and I was made.
