We would like to extend a warm welcome to Karen, who recently joined the St-Lawrence Toastmasters Club.
Having visited our club on a few occasions before joining, Karen was then convinced that Toastmasters can be an asset in her career as fashion designer. In fact, she has been so impressed by the club culture that she even invited other friends to visit our club even while she was a guest herself.
Are you interested in visiting us? Click for more details in the Come Meet Us page.
One of the overlooked benefits of Toastmasters is that it can help us during some of the hardest times, for example to give a eulogy (praise of someone recently deceased).
On the Toastmasters International website, there is an article with tips and techniques to speak from the heart when giving a eulogy.
“Speaking at a funeral or memorial service is probably one of the most difficult speaking assignments imaginable. It’s one thing to speak coherently in front an audience; it’s another to keep from falling apart emotionally when giving a tribute to a deceased family member, friend or coworker.
But speaking at such an important event is a gift. By communicating what’s in your heart to people who need help to deal with grief, you fulfill a collective need for comfort.”
Here is a link to some inspiring eulogies that were given for the recent passing of Steve Jobs, founder of Apple.
Nous souhaitons la grande bienvenue à Alexandre, qui se joint au Club St-Lawrence Toastmasters après nous avoir visité à quelques occasions.
Alexandre est chercheur et aimerait éventuellement devenir professeur. Toastmasters serait donc un atout pour l’aider à s’exprimer plus aisément et aussi à acquérir les qualités de leadership nécessaires pour être un prof passionnant et inspirant.
Nous sommes fiers de pouvoir t’aider dans tes démarches Alexandre!
