Motivating Leaders!

 

Great turnout for another in person meeting for Igniters! We had a fun night of learning. We had two guests visit. Marvin was the Toastmaster with the Theme Leadership and the word of the day Motivate. Ksenija, Division F Director helped organize an inspiring training with inspiring speakers for Toastmasters across the city to attend. Yvonne the grammarian picked Galvanize as the challenge word. The competition was on to develop your vocabulary.

Trevor our first speaker shared tips on reading and the value of a first line of a book will help you decide if it is the right book for you. Other tips were to stop if you don't like a book and the value of skimming. Christine spoke next and shared a humorous speech about trying to achieve consensus in her family about a family vacation. Diane shared the value of her changing leadership styles and how she helped colleagues develop their skills and knowledge. Evaluators Ksenija, Nandini, and Jeff gave tips on their strengths and ways to be more effective. Petra helped members learn to speak spontaneously and clearly with entertaining questions on leaders. Every week is an opportunity to develop your skills!
