“The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one’s destiny to do, and then do it.”– Henry Ford

As a leader we take up positions with the intention of learning new aspects of life as you develop your personality. Age is never a barrier to learning. Continuous work improvement is essential to all round growth and advancement in one’s career.

We all have strengths and weaknesses; it is up to us how we overcome these challenges and become winners. The last term taught me many new lessons in life, especially handling a big team. The experience that I gained over the last year will help me take up the Program Quality Director role with a lot of confidence. I will be able to delegate the tasks as a leader to my teammates with much more ease which will help in productive meetings and effective working, thereby helping the District to excel.

The Toastmasters organization allows change of leaders every year as it brings in new ideas and new work techniques. My focus would be to establish a consistent communication channel with all the District team members. Training will be an integral part of my current portfolio. Evaluation of performance on a regular basis will help plan corrective actions.

Mistakes are inevitable, but how you respond to them is crucial. Once you accept your mistake it is a great opportunity for you to learn, thereby helping you grow as a leader.

My journey in Toastmasters has been an enjoyable one. It has helped my confidence on stage, and I am sure anyone joining the Toastmasters Fraternity will surely become better communicators and leaders.

 “The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”

– Jim Rohn
