Do You want to become the NEXT HOST of our radio show, "A Toast to You", on PlainsFM? You don't have to do it alone. And we are all Toastmasters, so you are in good hands. Pip Young and Jamie Hobby are leaving the radio (or are they?), and looking for someone who wants to give this a go. Everyone is special, and each host brings a new personality to the show. Goal? To raise awareness of Spreydon Toastmasters, and Toastmasters in general, and the great difference it can make in your life!! Learn to speak in public or learn to lead club teams. It's all part of a development process, well presented in Pathways, online, and with hybrid meetings in most clubs (online and live).

From Dani Rius, a dedicated Toastmaster who has overcome her fear of speaking in public and wrote a book, expressing what she had deep inside. Ready to share with the world, Dani is offering our Spreydon Toastmasters friends a FREE GIFT from now until Christmas. Download her book, "Mindful Empathy" for FREE on Amazon Kindle!
Dani, MSc in Applied Psychology, and co-author, Dr Wayne Duncan, urge you to share it with family and friends and help make this world a better place by understanding our human condition, the works of our brain and being able to maintain compassionate minds. A self-care book for anxiety-prone people, perfectionists, or for people experiencing challenging situations and transitions -including coming up on stage to speak in public!.

What a magical moment! Dani Rius, past President of Spreydon Toastmsaters, presented her book Mindful Empathy last Thursday. It was a wonderful experience. She enjoyed speaking in public likek never before. Mindful Empathy wishes to express her deepest gratitude to the Spreydon Toastmasters Club:

Thank you to all the wonderful book launch team who played their part in making the event a success! Basil Moskovis (MC), Rochelle Wilson (social media support and registration) Pip Young (preparation of food platters, which were very complimented!). Thanks to Spreydon Toastmasters Club, who supported me in developing my speaking skills and for all the support to make progress in my speaking career, and even if indirectly also my writing career.

May you and your families have a wonderful holiday season!!

Pictures from this weekend's District Leadership Training in Wellington. Lots of fun learning through interactive activities. All Area Directors and Division Directors this year are completely new to their roles, which gave the Trio (District Director, Program Quality Director and Club Growth Manager) a blank slate to work with, which they were very excited about, feeling "re-energized".
