In Search of Excellence
Speaker : DTM Paul Yang
It is inevitable or is it just plain habit, that we complain about our
shortcomings. As the story goes : I keep complaining that I don't have
a pair of shoes until one day I came upon a man who has no legs. It is
time to reflect upon what we have within us and exercise our potential
wisely and stop lamenting what we don't have. It is not how many times
we fall, but how many times we pick ourselves up to excel.
DTM Paul Yang

on to establish more Mandarin Clubs thereafter. Awarded DTM in 1999.

Long and unproductive meetings. No agenda.

Familiar scenes at a meeting?
As Toastmasters, we preside over or attend meetings regularly, and how
they are conducted will greatly influence our organizational skills.
The tools to run efficient and democratic meetings are very crucial
indeed, and Parliamentary procedure is a code of rules and ethics for
working
together in a group.
This workshop aims to provide the audience with the vital parliamentary
tools to organize, influence, and expedite meetings in a simple and
clearly understandable manner.
We need the meeting "know hows" in order to manage a meeting.
So come join us in this exciting workshop about meeting tools!

Orleans in 1997, when she spoke on the topic ‘Dare to Fail’.

participants, yet it is only when we are in the ‘hot-seat’ as
organizer/chairperson that we realize how daunting the whole task may
seem!

captivates the audience, if only we put in the effort and pay heed to
the finer details involved.

"Moments of Truth - Take Control of Your Destiny"
Speaker : International President, DTM Alfred Herzing
MOMENTS OF TRUTH
Take control of Your Destiny
More and more, organizations throughout the world realize that exemplary
service
must accompany a quality product if customers are to remain happy.
We can certainly draw the same conclusion when it comes to Toastmasters
clubs.
Remember the first time you attended a Toastmasters meeting?
Almost immediately someone stepped forward to greet you, asked your name
and
introduced you to other club members.
Within moments you had made a decision: “This is a friendly group of
people!”
In this plenary session, learn from the Toastmasters International
President himself as he shares with us those special “moments of truth”
and how we, as Toastmasters, can use such episodes to strengthen and
improve our club.
A dedicated Toastmaster for 16 years, Alfred Herzing, DTM, has served as
an
officer at various levels, beginning at the club level and working his way
up to his
prestigious current position. He was elected to the office of
International President in August 2001, during the Toastmasters’

California.
He has advanced through many positions in his professional career as
well. He
credits the skills he gained as a leader in Toastmasters in helping him
earn many of the promotions he has received since becoming a member.
He currently serves as an Information Technology Director for Beckman
Coulter, Inc., a manufacturer of
life science and clinical lab instrument systems based in Southern
California.
“I believe firmly in the power of the Toastmasters program to change
lives,” says

Control Of Your
Destiny.”
