Your Leadership Journey Inside and Outside of Toastmasters
Pursuing a leadership role in Toastmasters will serve you, and your club, very well. Toastmasters International empowers you and other individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders. Jim will enable you and every attendee to add clarity to their leadership journey.
That Idea That Gnaws at You
Managing these sorts of ideas need to be managed. Jim will show you skills of self-management, team leadership and how your Toastmasters club can assist you.
