💥 International Speakers at TLI – Division D

💙 Our club attended TLI with officers and members fully engaged — leading sessions, participating in workshops, and enjoying the day behind the scenes!

👏 Workshops like “Inspiring Minds, Leading Hearts”, led by Joanna , brought leadership, mentoring, and feedback into practice, showing how growth happens through action, courage, and trying new things.

🙏 Special thanks to Alex .nikitin for invaluable IT and technical support — this wouldn’t have been possible without him.

🤓 It was a day of hands-on learning, stepping up, and embracing the practical — sometimes messy — side of growth. Proud of our club for showing up fully and representing what we do best!

2026…

PS…

How many Toastmasters sessions did you skip last year?

You stay committed because you refuse to be the same next year.

Here’s the truth: deadlines got met, work got done, but your confidence to communicate better didn’t. This hurts — but your ambitions need to be louder than your excuses.

2026 is a numerological Year 1

The year to show up, take action, and own your voice. Commit — 1.5h each week to show up and practice public speaking at Toastmasters.
