Ambattur Achievers Toastmasters Club

🔔 Welcome to Our Toastmasters Session! 🔔

Theme: The Pareto Principle — 80/20 Rule

We’re thrilled to welcome TM Ganapathy subramanian to lead this week’s Toastmasters meeting, centered on the powerful concept of the Pareto Principle—the idea that 80% of outcomes come from 20% of efforts.

✅ In leadership

✅ In productivity

✅ In communication

✅ In personal growth

…understanding this principle helps us focus on what truly matters.

As Toastmasters, we strive to speak with purpose, lead with clarity, and listen with intent. This theme challenges us to identify our most impactful actions and amplify them—for more effective speeches, stronger teams, and better results.

🌟 Whether you’re delivering your Ice Breaker or mastering impromptu Table Topics, remember: sometimes, the smallest efforts create the biggest ripple.

Join us as we explore how to apply the 80/20 mindset to public speaking and leadership!

🎉 Congratulations to Toastmaster Anandraj! 🎉

A big round of applause for Toastmaster Anandraj on successfully completing Level 2 of the Engaging Humor Pathway in the Toastmasters Pathways educational program! 🏆🎤

This milestone reflects your growing skills in storytelling, timing, audience engagement, and leadership through humor — a powerful combination that adds value to every speech and every room you’re in.

Your commitment to continuous improvement and effective communication is truly inspiring. We’re excited to see what’s next as you journey through the rest of the Engaging Humor pathway and beyond!

👏 Let’s all celebrate this achievement and keep supporting one another in our personal and professional growth!

🎤 Welcome, Toastmasters and Guests!

This week’s meeting theme: “The Joke is on the President” 😄👔

Get ready for an evening where humor takes center stage — and yes, even the President isn’t safe from a good punchline! Laughter is a powerful tool in public speaking, and tomorrow we explore how it can connect, engage, and transform even the most formal roles.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your impromptu skills, test your comedic timing, or just enjoy a fun and supportive atmosphere, you won’t want to miss this one.

Professionally, Gurusamy has spent over a decade mastering the world of supply chain management at QUBE Cinema. A keen listener and introverted by nature, he takes time to open up, but once he does, you’ll find it difficult to stop him. :)

Let’s extend a big round of applause to TM Gurusamy and offer him all the support he needs as he embarks on this exciting new chapter. We look forward to learning, growing, and achieving together!

Back To School 🏫👩‍🏫🚌🎒Nostalgia hits isn't it? No matter how our school life was, we still are fond of those days. Two side plaits, the excitement at the sound of lunch bell, Sharing lunch boxes with friends, the petty fights, days where we thought preparing for exams are the toughest life phase, maths teacher taking class in PT period, when teacher stops taking classes so you enjoy the rain. What if, we can relish it one more time? Sounds intriguing?

Our TMOD, TM Balakrishnan is going to take us on a nostalgic wave of memories with the theme, *Back To School- Enroll your admissions for a two hour school this Sunday, the 1st of June.
