I am Distinguished Toastmaster Lydia Harris, proud member of District 47 SE Florida & The Bahamas. As I have learned, I now share.
As a RN for 40 years, I am a professional assessor, listener, nurturer, educator, learner and problem solver. As an author, I am comfortable with the use of the written word for inspiration, publication and education. As an entrepreneur and CEO of The Entrepreneurs Garden, LLC, I am well versed in a variety of business administration, customer service, marketing and management practices. I coach m
edical professionals on strategies to better leverage their expertise through several of my books and programs. I currently work part time as a Nurse Case Manager at Northwest Medical Center, just outside of Fort Lauderdale, FL. As a Toastmaster, I have held the following offices:
VPPR: July - December 2010
Area Governor: July 2011 - June 2012
Division Governor: July 2012 - June 2013

For my business, volunteer service and professional employment, I have developed and enhanced procedures for myself, my teams and clients throughout my career. I write educational programs, business documents and books that record and/or train on a variety of procedures and processes. It is my intention for this page to serve as an Inspiring, Collaborative, Educational (ICE) toolbox for Toastmaster member and officer growth as part of our "Grass Roots" initiatives. With these tools, we can heighten engagement in our educational program, create amazing experiences and benefits for all.
