🎉 Please join us in welcoming our two newest members to G.U.T.S. Toastmasters!

We recently had the privilege of officially inducting two new members into our club at Lackland AFB. Their decision to invest in their communication and leadership skills is the beginning of an exciting journey of personal and professional growth.

At G.U.T.S. Toastmasters, we believe every great speaker and leader starts with a single step and we’re honored to be part of that journey. We look forward to supporting our newest members as they build confidence, develop new skills, and achieve their goals.

Welcome to the G.U.T.S. Toastmasters family! We can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish. 👏

GUTS Toastmasters was honored to participate in the Warrior Medic Challenge hosted by the 59th Medical Wing at Lackland AFB!

We enjoyed connecting with Airmen, retirees, military families, and community partners while sharing how Toastmasters helps individuals build confidence, communication, and leadership skills.

Thank you to the organizers for creating an event focused on connection, resilience, and support. We are proud to support our military community and build lasting relationships along the way.

🤠 Hats Off to District 55! 🤠

As the dust settles on another successful District 55 Conference, we’d like to extend our sincere appreciation to District Director Wendii Lord and the entire conference team for a phenomenal event.

From the educational sessions and speech contests to the networking opportunities and inspiring keynote speakers, every detail reflected countless hours of planning, coordination, and dedication. One could truly feel the support at every level of the organization.

A special thank you to the volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Events like these don’t happen by accident. They happen because members step forward to serve. If you’ve ever considered becoming more involved, we encourage you to volunteer and support the district in any way you can. Your contribution makes a difference.

Sunday’s closing sessions provided the perfect opportunity to reflect on our Toastmasters journeys. Members explored their Pathways goals, identified future projects, and renewed their commitment to continued growth in communication and leadership. The conversations sparked fresh momentum and excitement for the road ahead.

We leave Kerrville inspired, energized, and ready to continue the journey.

Until next time…

Meeting adjourned. 🔨

🐎 Learning Beyond the Stage 🐎

One of the highlights of the District 55 Conference was the opportunity to learn from outstanding presenters and leaders.

GUTS Toastmaster Sa Huynh had the privilege of co-facilitating the session “Hidden Drivers” alongside Austin Toastmaster Theo Bill, exploring how fear influences performance, decision-making, and personal growth.

Attendees also heard from keynote speakers:

✨ Chris Raneri, DTM, who shared “The Journey of the Reluctant Leader”- a powerful reminder that leadership often finds us before we feel ready for it.

✨ Jay Johnson, a servant leader and expert in organizational development, who delivered engaging stories, humor, and practical lessons on leading through change with authenticity.

The weekend reinforced an important truth: leadership is not about having all the answers. It’s about continuing to learn, serve, and grow.

🎤 Inspiration Took Center Stage 🎤

Congratulations to all of the courageous contestants who participated in the District 55 Speech Contests this weekend!

Each speaker brought unique stories, powerful lessons, and authentic experiences that reminded us why Toastmasters is such a transformative organization.

We were also honored to hear from 2024 World Champion of Public Speaking, Luisa Montalvo. Her moving speech, “37 Strangers,” honored the emergency responders who saved her life during a near-death experience and demonstrated the incredible impact storytelling can have on an audience.

Luisa also shared practical insights on writing award-winning speeches, including her framework for crafting compelling messages that connect deeply with listeners.

From aspiring speakers to seasoned competitors, everyone left inspired to continue developing their voice and sharing stories that matter.

🤠 Saddle Up for Success! 🤠

The Get Up To Speak (GUTS) Toastmasters Club was proud to attend the District 55 Toastmasters Conference in Kerrville this past weekend!

From inspiring keynote speakers to educational breakout sessions, the conference was packed with opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with fellow communicators and leaders.

Attendees explored sessions focused on:
⭐ Leadership
⭐ Club Member Skills

One of the greatest reminders from the weekend was that growth happens when we step outside our comfort zones and continue learning.

A huge thank you to the conference organizers, presenters, volunteers, and attendees who made this event a success. We returned energized, inspired, and ready to bring new ideas back to our club!
