Toastmasters Leadership Institute

With Toastmaster's Leadership Institute trainer and Area Governor, Ron Olsen. His home chapter is Tulsa Club #148 and we both attend Church on the Move. Tulsa Club #148 is my home club as well and is the oldest Toastmasters chapter in Oklahoma. Wardrobe provided by Oxygen, Inc.

I had a great time at the Toastmaster's Leadership Institute (TLI) make-up session in the middle of February. TLI introduces the leadership roles within our organization, gives each person an opportunity to get to know members from other clubs, and trains officers in their roles, while giving us the chance to learn from each other. As the new VP Public Relations of our chapter, I learned a lot about public relations. I also had a great conversation with fellow Toastmaster Diane who works in public relations for a living. She had so much to offer in traditional public relations, while I have some knowledge of using the social media sites, so the two of us had a great exchange of ideas and information. Our club's VP Education, Mike Dobbs, was also in attendance! We had a great time and learned many leadership skills that will help us in our offices in Toastmasters and in the other leadership roles in our lives. I'm looking forward to implementing our ideas!
