This week, we explore the 12-month Toastmasters journey of Junyan Tan - a Toastmasters enthusiast, recently appointed Secretary of the Mount Gravatt Toastmasters Club - and one of my mentees.
Junyan (who usually goes by the name of Brodie), shares his seven-year journey to the podium. Listen as we uncover the layers of personal and professional growth that come from facing fears, embracing leadership roles, and engaging in the Toastmasters' Pathways learning experience. Toastmasters isn't just a club; it's a community where one's journey in communication and leadership is nurtured.
As we chat, we shed light on the pivotal moments that shape a Toastmasters' journey - from the first icebreaker speech, tinged with nerves, to the advanced projects that polish one's public speaking finesse. Our conversation also spotlights how the Pathways program equips members with real-world applications, like acing job interviews, through its dynamic online resources.
Whether you're a novice speaker looking to quell the jitters or an experienced orator seeking a fresh challenge, this episode promises a close look at the Toastmasters experience, where every speech is an opportunity and every role a lesson in leadership. Join us for a session filled with laughter, learning, and a brief tale about elocution lessons!
