QUARANTOASTS (Toastmasters In Quarantine‪)‬ After6 Toastmasters Club

It's not cheap to be a Toastmaster. And because it takes a lot of money and time, let's make sure that you get the most out of your investment. PAD JK Lopez, EC2 and IPAD Ron Ednalan, Jr., DL5, SR1 talks to us about how much really does it cost to be a Toastmaster, how you get your ROI out of it and what you need to bring to your membership. 

In this episode, we talk about the intricacies of language and how we can use this to identify and empower ourselves as members of the community. We are joined by Angel Yagin, DTM of Nielsen IQ Philippines TMC and Mr. Joey Santos, a socio-cultural linguist and Ph.D. student from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.

There are a ton of articles out there that talk about Toastmasters being a great place to learn public speaking. In the same token, there are also a ton that disagree. Let's talk about one that says there are some things that we need to look at and solve as an organization and discuss what we can do as members to get over these hurdles. 

In this conversation, we have Polo Enriquez and Dr. Ryan Pesigan Reyes. We talk about stereotypes, specifically that of gay men, how we navigate around it, how it affects us and others within our community and how it can hold us back from getting our agenda across. 

What if you were asked to step out of the club and lead at the district level? We discuss how we answered it, how we experienced it and how we help others answer the same question. We are joined by incoming Area B1 Director Kim Regala of Alpha One TMC. 

It's PRIDE month but do we really know what it is and why it came to be? We also talk about how to bring PRIDE to our Toastmasters Club. Listen in on our discussion with Angel Yagin, DTM, Mary Solina, TM, Polo Enriquez of "We Bare Bears" and Dr. Mikee Inton-Campbell.
