Dream Achievers Toastmasters club hosts charter dinner

DREAM Achievers Toastmasters club held its charter dinner at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair last Friday.

The dinner was to attract more members from across the country to join the club. Toastmasters is meant to empower people in promoting career growth in communication and leadership skills.

The guest of honour, Toastmaster Southern African champion of public speaking, Lloyd Mugabe encouraged members to be resilient.

“Never let go of why you started your Toastmasters journey. The dream is to impact on more people especially from Bulawayo so that they can achieve their dreams. We are training speakers and leaders that will make an impact to others.

“Dream achievers club is not about members, let us not focus on Toastmasters or ourselves, there are so many dreams out there that need to be achieved by people who have never heard about Toastmasters. It is about time we use the potential that we are getting to get to the point and that is to make an impact,” he said.

Delivering her key note address, Mrs Dorothy Chanakira, the Division Director for the Toastmasters International Club also encouraged the club members to keep on working hard.

“Toastmasters share with others the great life we found in the club. Life is about personal mastery. To the executive committee well done, your challenge is to steer the ship to the shore. Your shore is not difficult but it is maintaining charter strength.

“Twenty members plus! That is just so you are guaranteed those are optimum conditions conducive for learning and growth. And know that you are a significant part of a much bigger vision a global outreach, a legacy stretching 94 years and still counting.

“Our esteemed guests,

I urge you to play at the highest level of success. Join a Toastmasters club. The inner game of winning is by a commitment to personal development. Be sure to have fellowship from likeminded Toastmasters, become a part of a global movement with a wide presentation worldwide. Choose from 300 competencies and specialise in a path of your choice.”

She further said that the country needs effective leaders who will come from their respective clubs.

“When Zimbabwe looks for professionally developed citizens, I hope employers know to look into Toastmasters. We are the people that have chosen to lead and excel in such a vast plethora of proficiencies. Our new Zimbabwe yearns for people endowed with a skill set and acumen for leadership. Toastmasters club is where leaders are made. So let us evolve and achieve actualising this potential we have within. Dream on Dream Achievers,” she said.
