My Vision

As human beings we aspire to become better in our personal and professional lives. This is a driving factor for individuals to join Toastmasters. As an organization our responsibility is to continually offer the rewarding and dynamic experiences of Toastmasters.

The life-changing pandemic experience has highlighted our need to assess and analyze our ability to adapt as an organization. Therefore, I highly value the feedback and aspiration of our members to provide us insights for innovative – customizable learnings for maximum development. 

Just like you and me, our organization is also facing unprecedented circumstances in terms of logistic and operational restrictions. Our accelerated response to the pandemic is an example that an innovative adaptation is possible. Cultivating this accelerated-adaptive mindset will help us to work together in strategically modifying and implementing programs, processes and services that benefit our members, clubs and districts internationally.

We all know that “the only constant in life is change" [Heraclitus] and the changes we are experiencing are unprecedented. During these times, our collective efforts are focused on members accomplishments.  This means we need to continually work on advancing the changing needs of members at all levels of personal and professional growth.  Our recent example, is that our move to the digital global world has opened a window to invite younger generations across the world into our Toastmasters community. 

Members’ accomplishments are directly tied to continually adapting to the changing world.  Therefore, our programs must be timely, flexible and innovative to help our members in maximizing their positive potential.
