Monthly Dispatch

July 2022

Hello {First Name},

Dear fellow Toastmasters,

Hello Toastmasters, I hope this message finds you doing well and enjoying what the early days of summer have brought. For those of you going on adventures, I wish you safe travels. For those staying closer to home, I wish you health and happiness and great times spent with friends and family. If your thoughts drift to Toastmasters, be sure to check the list of Sunshine Clubs in this edition of the Dispatch and attend a meeting or two. Enjoy the summer sunshine and fabulous times that are sure to be had! I leave you with this quote by Van Morrison " Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly."

Until September-Twila

LESSONS LEARNED

Leadership Training

I know you go to online meetings all the time and it goes like clockwork! Hah! Nothing goes like clockwork! The difference is whether or not that is obvious! On June 15, the part that did not work was pretty obvious, right off the start! Fortunately, or not, that first big presentation was about leadership, and how we all drop the balls at some point; it is a question of picking them up and getting back on track! Read More...
