A leader sees the potential in others and actively encourages them to develop; helping them to step outside their comfort zone into challenging roles where they can grow.

Perhaps you know a fellow Toastmaster who would benefit from taking on a leadership role in Toastmasters?

 In the words of Dananjaya Hettiarachchi, current World Champion of Public Speaking, have you told them “I see something in you”?

 Often we don’t see ourselves as leaders so we don’t hold up our hands for a leadership role. It takes that encouragement from someone else, who can see our potential, for us to step up and discover skills that we never knew we had. Skills that can be life changing.

 Nominations for the district leader roles for the 2015-16 yearclose on Friday 6 February.

These roles are:

 ·      Area Director

·      Division Director

·      District Trio roles: Club Growth Director, Program Quality Director, District Director

These roles are exciting, challenging and inspiring and offer the chance to grow hands-on leadership skills in a safe environment.

Encourage potential leaders around you to grow their skills by nominating for a District 69 leadership role. Toastmasters – Where Leaders Are Made.
