Esther Phahla has been elected Toastmasters International District 12 Lieutenant Governor, Marketing for 2013-2014 at the Spring Conference at Pechanga Resort & Casino. Phahla is a CPA and Certified Tax Coach (CTC) in Temecula specializing in tax planning and tax preparation services for small businesses.
Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs. “In Toastmasters you learn by doing. I went from being extremely shy to being a business owner and attending networking events. I still get nervous when I give a speech but I know that I am in a supportive, fun and friendly environment to help me grow. It’s a safe place to fail”, she said.
Toastmasters District 12 serves approximately 100 clubs throughout Riverside and San Bernadino Counties. Guests are always welcome. You can join an existing Club or start a New Club for your company or community.
