The 2020-2021 Toastmasters International President, Richard E. Peck, DTM QUOTES from TOASTMASTERS MAGAZINE:

*Our meetings are designed to have a purpose, they also need to have a level of fun and excitement.

*Are you there? There has never been a time when we have been required to stay so far apart yet needed to be so close together.

*How is the audience reading your body language? Consider how gestures are interpreted in other cultures. Is a peace sign conveyed differently? Are your words and phrases being interpreted the same way from country to country?

*You will gain tremendous insights speaking globally, and the exposure to other cultures will be eye-opening.

*Together, we can make a positive, lasting impact on the world.

*Undeterred, Unwavering, Unstoppable ... We are Toastmasters!

Your dedication, diligence, and ability to combat the hardship of this global pandemic prove that Toastmasters are unstoppable.

*“In the years to come we will look back on decisions made in difficult times and know that we rose to the challenge, that we put our members first, and that we faced the unknown and stood strong.”

*“Leadership is not about being the center of attention, it’s about being the epicenter of action.”
