Kayse Loveless: My Experience With Wonder
My experience at the 2018 International Convention can be described in one word: wonder. It started with wondering how I had gotten in my position in the first place. I left for Chicago in tears. Once my boarding pass was scanned, it hit me. After a summer of endless revisions and practice, I was one flight away from competing in the semifinals for the first time. I wondered if I had done enough. I wondered if I would fail. I wondered why I didn’t bring any tissues with me.

Social Media Moment from Jillian
I decided to join Toastmasters to become more aware of my shortcomings in communication, but also to feel more confident in speaking with, and in front of people in general. I was scared to death to do even that!
I am so passionate about Toastmasters because it has helped me become a more confident and skilled communicator in this fast-paced, selfie-loving, computer-centric, smaller and more digitally connected world.

Timeless Themes Make These Toastmasters Clubs Thrive
What do Liberty Toastmasters in Denver, Longmont and Grand Junction have in common?
They are all themed clubs. Like a traditional Toastmasters club, we conduct meetings using the classic structure of Toastmasters educational program. The difference is we blend the Toastmasters structure with the timeless principles of leaders in action from the Leadership Program of the Rockies.
Plan Now for a Successful Year
Managers work to fill the gaps and make a strong run to win the division, league, and the World Series.
