Five-O-Five <strong>Toastmasters</strong> Welcomes Jana Barnhill by Trish Brown DTM<br />
Which Way Did They Go? I’m Their Leader! was the<br />
subject of <strong>Toastmasters</strong> International President<br />
Jana Barnhill’s presentation at the Five-O-Five<br />
<strong>Toastmasters</strong> Club meeting on Wednesday 20 May.<br />
Jana wowed the 60 attendees with her lively and<br />
informative presentation, her warm greetings and<br />
her overall enthusiasm and enjoyment in life. The<br />
meeting was attended by members of Toastmaster<br />
Clubs across the city, staff of the State Revenue<br />
Office and prospective members.<br />
Jana’s leadership presentation had many tips and<br />
insights for Team Leaders that could be applied in<br />
many situations. Feedback comments included:<br />
“Jana had some great tips that I’m going to go<br />
back and use in my team”; “You can never have<br />
too many reminders about what Team Leadership is<br />
really about”; “I didn’t know that <strong>Toastmasters</strong> also<br />
involved leadership training”.<br />
After her presentation Jana presented Paul<br />
Broderick, the Commissioner of State Revenue, with<br />
a Certificate of Recognition, acknowledging the<br />
State Revenue Office (SRO) for the support given<br />
to <strong>Toastmasters</strong> over the last 13 years. Staff at the<br />
SRO are able to use the Toastmaster program as<br />
training in their personal development plans. Paul<br />
accepted the award by acknowledging the benefits<br />
Jana Barnhill presenting<br />
Paul Broderick with a<br />
Certificate of Recognition<br />
that <strong>Toastmasters</strong> gave to staff.<br />
The meeting was also an opportunity to<br />
acknowledge Verena Engbarth and Vivien Ellard<br />
who were appointed Club Coaches for Five-O-Five<br />
last year and have worked with club members to<br />
bring the club back to Distinguished Club Status.<br />
The great benefit that came from Jana’s presentation<br />
was that three of the visitors have asked to join the<br />
club, a number of people made further enquiries<br />
about joining and Toastmaster members left feeling<br />
inspired to keep working towards their Toastmaster<br />
and personal goals of improved communication<br />
and leadership skills.<br />
