Copper Toastmasters Club

Your Division is Proud of U, Love and Rona!

Congratulations to Love Ravina of Cebu Toastmasters Club and Rona Fernandez of Copper Toastmasters Club for your valiant efforts in representing Division U at the District 75 International Speech Contest and Table Topics Speech Contest.

Your courage to step on that stage already sets you apart. While results matter, the journey matters more. Every practice session, every piece of feedback, every moment of doubt you pushed through, and every friendship and mentorship you built along the way are the real trophies you carry forward.

This is not a setback. This is preparation for a greater comeback. Growth happens in the process, and your story is still unfolding. Remember, we only truly lose when we stop trying.

To everyone watching, take inspiration from Love and Rona. Throw your hat in next year’s contest season. Challenge yourself. Embrace the lessons. Discover what you are capable of.

Step forward, take the stage, and
unlock your ultimate.

This declaration calls attention to happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations for individuals worldwide, emphasizing the need to integrate these values into public policy initiatives.

Why don't we explore Toastmaster Mary Joy Cañete's Level 1 Project 4 second speech on Evaluation and Feedback from the Motivational Strategies pathway?

In his speech titled "When Life Forced Me to Zoom Out," Toastmaster Joy shared how she now enjoys the journey called life after learning to "zoom out" instead of being unforgiving and focusing only on the inconveniences and shortcomings.

At the Copper Toastmasters Club meeting on March 4, 2026, Toastmaster Joy received the award for Prepared Speech Speaker of the Night, making it a delightful occasion to celebrate her achievement! Awesome work, Toastmaster Joy! 👏

Would you like to strengthen your skills and become an engaging speaker just like her?
