I joined Sears Halifax Toastmasters back in 2001, fresh out of college and looking to build my confidence and professional skills. One of my college instructors, a very skilled Toastmaster, delivered a speech during class one day that turned a complicated idea into something so easy to understand. I remember thinking, “I wish I could be like her one day!”
Now, after years of being part of this supportive community, I’m stepping up as president for the first time. It’s a privilege to lead the oldest Toastmasters club in Atlantic Canada, where we combine tradition with fresh ideas to keep things relevant for today’s world.
At Toastmasters, you’re not just learning to speak—you’re developing real-life skills like communication, presence, and professional etiquette, all in a welcoming environment. Whatever your personal goal is, we’re here to support you! We’re a group of people who are always striving to improve, and we’d love for you to join us.
