Shaken, Not Stirred – A perfect blend of Rotary and Toastmasters!
Join us for a couple of interactive workshops all about Toastmasters for Rotarians.
Toastmasters offers internationally renowned leadership and communication training. Rotary District 5050 is providing a sample of what Toastmasters has to offer for all Rotarians, especially those entering leadership positions. If you don’t have the time to join a Toastmasters Club and want the “Q’s brief” to gain those everyday skills we need as Rotarians—personally and professionally--this is for you!
Please note there are modules created by Toastmasters for Rotarians on the Rotary.org Leaning Center. We highly encourage you to use your 007 spy skills to check them out. (How do you think James Bond ever got so famous in the spy game? He was a Toastmaster, too--at least that’s the rumor!)
Leave your Aston Martin in the garage; both workshops will be offered on Zoom and a link provided to registrants the day before the workshop at the District website. Note that there is a limit of 20 participants per workshop.
