Latin Leaders - Toastmasters Club #583774

May 16, 2006.  The theme of this meeting was Leadership.  I talked about how I believe that the Toastmaster’s program is more than just a program to learn to become better public speakers.  It is a program where you also learn valuable leadership skills.  These are valuable because we rely on leadership skills in our everyday lives, at home and at work.

Enriqueta gave her second speech and talked about how Toastmasters is already making improvements in her life.  Well it shows.  She certainly has made a significant improvement since her first day of table topics.  She is much more confident and I can see that she will eventually become a very accomplished speaker.

Patricia gave her fifth speech on the topic of internet predators and reminds us that we need to keep our eyes open and protect our children.  This topic is certainly timely as this subject is quickly gaining a lot of media attention lately.  It is certainly a big problem and more people need to become aware of what’s happening.

We finished with a very fun table topics session as Graciela presented us with some everyday situational conversations.  I’m sure everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.  Great to see everyone there despite having to move this meeting to another location.  Special thanks to Nahetzin and David for lending us their dance studio for the evening.  I know many of you love to dance so make sure you visit the dance studio often and let yourself loose.
