Lake City Breakfast Toastmasters Club

🌱 Growth looks different for everyone... and that's what makes it so exciting.

AtLake City Breakfast Toastmasters Club , we're reminded every meeting that growth isn't one-size-fits-all.

Some of our club officers are stretching themselves as leaders, learning how to serve, encourage, and inspire others.

Some of our newest members are discovering a confidence they never knew they had, finding their voice one speech at a time.

Our experienced members continue to grow too—by mentoring, encouraging, and celebrating the successes of those following in their footsteps.

And all of us? We're constantly trying new ideas to make our meetings more engaging, more welcoming, and more fun!

Growth doesn't always happen in giant leaps.

Sometimes it's just saying "yes" to joining us as a guest on Wednesday at 7am, online or in the Library Meeting Room on Haupapa Street in Rotorua!

Whatever your next step looks like, don't wait until you feel "ready."

Start where you are. Learn as you go. Celebrate every little victory.

Because the person you'll become is worth the journey. 💙

What area of your life are you growing in right now? We'd love to hear about it in the comments! 🌟

Every week we have a new word to stretch our vocabulary.

Today we enjoyed two excellent speeches and a theme that was both deep and powerful. The power of safe spaces - where do you go to feel safe? Arsh put this question to us, then offered some answers - to the beach, to the forest, to your best friend or just time by yourself enjoying some self care.
Kolin had an emotional speech about a female bird's reaction to the death of its partner, spending five days waiting.....for what? She equated it to love shown by other creatures including us.
Aileen took us back to her teenage years when she asked the ouija board to advise her future. Not following what the board suggested, she believes she has made her own destiny and is happier for it.
Yes, subjects for speeches are up to the individual. Come along and see what else happens at our Lake City Breakfast Toastmasters Club . We meet Wednesdays at 7am at The Library Meeting Room in Haupapa Street Rotorua.

With the interesting theme of May, this gathering of keen minded peers talked about autumnal may days, maypoles, and 27 May being World Otter Day and Nigeria's Children's Day. We had an informative speech from George, who is based in Nigeria, telling us about his culture, the bright colours of the clothing, the beads, the dances, the food, their spirituality, and he sang a song. Kingi replied with the beautiful waiata - Te Aroha. Sue had us in stitches telling us of her younger days visiting her uncle's farm, falling off horses, squishing 10 kids into the Kingswood for a beach trip.
