Twin Cities Business Leaders Toastmasters Celebrates 10-Years of Developing Business and Community Leadership
Temecula – Twin Cities Business Leaders Toastmasters will mark its 10th anniversary with a virtual celebratory meeting on Friday, June 4, 2021. Since 2011, the club has been dedicated to empowering individuals to become better leaders and communicators. Guests are encouraged to join the celebration and to learn more about Toastmasters.
“When I was young – like, 40 – Toastmasters was the furthest thing from my mind,” says Club co-founder Jim McLaughlin. “I wasn’t just a ‘no,’ I was a ‘no way!’ Then I saw there was something I wanted that Toastmasters could provide: courage. Being courageous, and seeing others being courageous is a rich and joyous experience. I feel privileged. Ten years since the club was founded is a milestone worth celebrating.”
“I learned about Toastmasters from my husband. I would accompany him to speech contests and vowed I would never do that, “says Esther Phahla Club co-founder.” A career opportunity opened up and I was faced with the fear of public speaking to present in front of other professionals. That’s when I thought let me visit a Toastmasters club and the rest is history. As I enjoyed being a member, my mentor said it’s time to step outside the club and be a district leader. As soon as I become an Area Director we were encouraged to share the benefits of toastmasters with others by starting a new club. This club was the first of many that I have since founded. In addition to communications skills, I discovered, there’s more… leadership skills. Toastmasters Where leaders are made. Cheers to 10 years!
