Toastmasters in Pretoria, Hartbeespoort & Rustenburg

.

When I signed up with Toastmasters, all I needed was to learn to structure my speeches, so I could be more articulate.

Little did I know that this organisation would help build my brand as a professional speaker, trainer and leader.

The biggest benefit we hardly discuss in Toastmasters is the networks you build. I have now built networks across every part of the world, across various industries.

The ROI in Toastmasters is just a no-brainer.

We are as we continue to Break Barriers!

We had a successful launch event yesterday, barriers were broken, lessons were learnt and we were inspired.

Some of the lessons learnt:
1. A great Idea presented poorly sounds like a poor idea.
2. The 6 C's of communication - Clarity Cuts Confusion, Clarity Creates Connections.
3. Money is attracted to solutions, money is attracted to value.
4. The first Barrier in public speaking is the enemy within. Those internal conversations of doubt.
5. Affirm your positive thoughts, then prove it.
One of the best ways to prove it, get started with Toastmasters.

We are looking forward to seeing you in our next event on Saturday, the 17th of July 2021.
More Barriers will be broken.
