Accomplishments |
| |
|
I joined
Toastmasters to
become a better
speaker and
performer with
my local Theatre
Company of
Saugus and on
occasion do
standup comedy.
Surprisingly,
what I found is
that my
leadership
skills emerged!
As an
overachiever I
have quickly
advanced up the
Toastmasters
leadership
ladder -
something it has
taken longtime
toastmasters
years to
accomplish. I
believe that if
you want to
improve your
public speaking
skills, step up
to the
leadership track
and you
certainly will!!
I served as a
Club President,
Area Governor
and received the
2006-2007 “Area
Governor of the
Year” award, and
as Lt. Governor
of Marketing and
will received
the “Excellence
in Marketing”
award at the
Toastmasters
International
Convention in
Calgary. I am
currently
serving as the
Lt. Governor of
Education and
Training. |
