At today’s meeting we had SCHISM as a word of the week, which means:
DIVISION, SEPARATION;

Examples of schism in a Sentence: • A schism between leading members of the party
• The church was divided by schism.

Try to use this word in your daily conversations this week! 😉

Toastmasters International Leadership Institute (TLI) training took place on Saturday, January 12, and several of our club officers participated. Officers could choose two sessions of interest to attend to expand their leadership skills, and keynote speaker, Pat Johnson, shared her thoughts about leadership and integrity.

During the training sessions we met amazing leaders and speakers, and we can't wait to start using what we've learned to help our club reach Distinguished Club Success goals!

Special thanks to Jim Robison, who led the Treasurer TLI Session and shared his experience with other clubs officers.

Did you know that according to the latest social research, conscientious people are more positive, make more money 💰, have more wealth and generally more satisfied with their lives?
