Last week, we enjoyed another inspiring and entertaining Toastmasters meeting. A special congratulations to Britt, one of our newer members, who did an excellent job stepping into the Toastmaster role and guiding us through the evening with the theme “Winter Magic.” ❄️✨

The theme continued with David’s engaging prepared speech “Winter Wisdom” sharing David’s wisdom of life. We also got a treat Hamish delivering an inspiring impromptu speech from his hike to Isthmus Peak. 🏔️

One of the things that makes Toastmasters so special is that every meeting brings something different: interesting stories, personal growth, laughter, and a supportive community 💫.

What an epic Toastmasters meeting! David did an awesome job as a Toastmaster, leading us through the theme family traditions.

Nicole as FOBOiat followed the theme, and we heard lots of great stories about family traditions across the world.

Did you know that Toastmasters is not only a public speaking club? It’s so much more!

Once you join as a member, you get access to Toastmasters Pathways, which is an online educational programme designed to help members build communication, leadership, and personal development skills. Members can choose from different learning paths based on their goals, interests, and areas they want to grow in.

Toastmasters offers six main Pathways learning paths:

✨ Dynamic Leadership
✨ Engaging Humour
✨ Motivational Strategies
✨ Persuasive Influence
✨ Presentation Mastery
✨ Visionary Communication

Each pathway helps Toastmasters members develop communication and leadership skills, as well as confidence, and personal growth through practical projects and real-world experiences.

Come along to the next Queenstown Toastmasters meeting on May 19th to learn more 😊.
