I am honored to be the Anoka Toastmasters President for the next year. Over the past year, my journey in Toastmasters has been transformative, and I am grateful for the countless ways in which I have grown personally and professionally. The incredible members of Anoka Toastmasters have provided support, encouragement, and valuable feedback that has enabled me to thrive.

When I joined Toastmasters, my primary motivation was to enhance my day-to-day communication skills, I often found myself using filler words like “ah” and “um” when trying to gather my thoughts in conversations. Through engaging in Table Topics exercises, I have made significant strides in reducing the frequency of these filler words, although I still catch myself using them occasionally.

Whether you are looking to conquer stage fright, refine your public speaking skills, or develop your leadership abilities, our club is here to support you every step of the way. Join us at our upcoming meeting and embark on a journey towards becoming a confident communicator and leader.

“Each time you try something for the first time you grow-a little piece of fear is replaced with empowerment.”   Annette White.
