Movie Night Lessons in Leadership

Dynamic Stars Mona & Darlene!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Our Movie Night meeting, led by action-star Toastmaster Mona, brought energy, laughter, and learning as members shared favorite films including The Art of Racing in the Rain, 51 States, Die Hard, Forrest Gump, F1, The Pursuit of Happyness, Roman Holiday, and Project Hail Mary.

Nora showed that emotional awareness deserves a starring role in everyday life, sharing how understanding our emotions strengthens communication and relationships. 

Fantastic Darlene accompolishing her Engaging Humor Path! Tonight, she showed us how one strong contest speech can evolve into a 20-minute keynote. Through personal stories, she reminded us that growth has no age limit, it often accelerates in the “winter of our lives.” From learning clarinet to singing in a choir after age 40, to being inspired by her father who married at 90, she brought her journey full circle by turning her contest speeches into her book Laughter Makes You Stronger: Heartfelt Stories about Family and Life.

Action Leaders! 

Our second speaker Ali took us behind the scenes of his Strategic Relations Path, sharing leadership lessons worthy of a director’s cut: start early, plan well, communicate clearly, trust your team, focus on progress, and care for yourself as a leader. He emphasized mentorship, clarity over control, and flexibility as essential leadership skills. Way to go Ali on achieving your 2nd Path!

A fun, film-filled meeting packed with lessons, laughter, and leadership takeaways where every story reminds us that growth is the real blockbuster.
