Word of the day: perseverance 🎤

✨ Curiosity Sparks Growth! ✨

Today we had a truly special meeting at our Toastmasters club. We talked about the different “Brazils within Brazil” — our cultures, accents, and stories that make the country so diverse. 🇧🇷💬

The Table Topics activity was a highlight: each participant described characteristics of a Brazilian state, and the group had to guess which one it was. A light, fun, and very creative way to learn more about our country while practicing spontaneous speaking! 🎤✨

The word of the day, polyculture, reminded us how essential diverse perspectives are for collective growth. 🌱

And of course, congratulations to our winners of the night:
🏆 Best Speaker & Ice Breaker: Erick Gibson
🏆 Best Table Topics: Alexandre Brito
🏆 Best Evaluator: Hermann Deneck

It’s inspiring to be part of a community that learns, shares, and grows together. 💛

🎤 October Highlights at VOE Toastmasters!

Last month, our club hosted two inspiring meetings that reminded us of the power of connection, growth, and positivity. 🌟

On October 13, we had a lively session with the theme “1 Toastmaster vs. 20 Members & Guests” — a fun challenge that celebrated teamwork, engagement, and the importance of building strong rapport among speakers and guests. ✨🤗

Later, on October 27, we wrapped up the month with “Keep Calm and Follow the Path”, a meeting filled with optimism and great reflections on perseverance and progress along our personal and professional journeys.🫶🏽

Every session at VOE Toastmasters is a new chance to learn, speak, and inspire — together! 💬✨
Meet the winners of our evenings and celebrate their outstanding achievements! 🏆

I’m thrilled to share that our club has been recognized as a 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛, a mark of commitment, growth, and development in communication and leadership.

Together we learn, lead, and achieve! 💪
