On Thursday night, I attended the Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters club via Zoom. I came because I wanted to cheer on one of my good friends who was speaking about her Toastmasters journey so far. I met Dr. Liz and her husband last year at the Area Speech Contest that was being held in Johnstown. AsContinue reading “Reflections of Summer at Allegheny Mountains Toastmasters!”

De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!
Last night, I went back to Greensburg Toastmasters after having missed the prior meeting. This was due to doctor’s appointments and the need to rest up for work. We had two guests in attendance, one who’s been part of Toastmasters in the past. The second guest was new to Toastmasters. We had an amazing agendaContinue reading “De-Stressing at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
It felt good to drive down to Connellsville on Tuesday night for my Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. It felt even better telling myself that I’m all in after a January slump. Whether or not I honor that remains to be seen. Meeting online is nice but it has its setbacks. I can’t tell you howContinue reading “Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Finding Uncommon Leaders at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
We were a virtual crowd on Tuesday night at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters. That meant I could stay warm and cozy while attending the meeting, as it felt more like January than November. Our theme was “Finding Uncommon Leaders”. We got off to a late start and had to make some adjustments to our agenda, butContinue reading “Finding Uncommon Leaders at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Leaders are Readers at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
I returned to Laurel Highlands Toastmasters Tuesday night after missing the last meeting. Two weeks ago I visited the Johnstown club which meets the same night. We met online, which worked for me as it bought me some time to get ready. Last week was unlike any other, with the Fall Symposium on Saturday. IContinue reading “Leaders are Readers at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Cleared for Takeoff at the District 13 Fall Symposium!
Saturday morning was the District 13 Fall Symposium. It was the first time Fall contests took place since the final conference eight years ago. For the District, today was also a bittersweet day. It’s one of the last events for the District before they merge with Northeastern Ohio (District 10) to form the new DistrictContinue reading “Cleared for Takeoff at the District 13 Fall Symposium!”
Wearing Many Hats at Greensburg Toastmasters!
We had our biweekly Greensburg Toastmasters meeting on Wednesday night. Our President was representing our club and the District in Philadelphia at the International Convention. Our trio was in attendance as well, and I’m sure they’ll all have a lot to share at their home clubs this week. If so, Mike will share his experiencesContinue reading “Wearing Many Hats at Greensburg Toastmasters!”
Need a Vacation at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters?
My feature presentation will begin shortly, but I want to start off this blog by mentioning the reboot of King of the Hill. The show was on FOX for many years and came to an end in 2010. There was talk of reviving the show (just like everything else that gets brought back). I watchedContinue reading “Need a Vacation at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters?”
Maintaining my Magnificent Speaking Streak!
Over the last year, I’ve given at least one speech every month at my Toastmasters meetings. Sometimes, if the schedule allows I give two speeches a month. I’ve done it in consecutive weeks as well. The exception has been the month of January, but I still consider this run to be successful, having spoken 11Continue reading “Maintaining my Magnificent Speaking Streak!”
Together We Win at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
Tonight at our Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting: We had a second time guest in attendance. Will attended a previous meeting and it was nice to see him come back. Our VPE even volunteered him for the role of timer. We got feedback from him about the meeting and how much he liked it. Upon gettingContinue reading “Together We Win at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
