Canadian Motivational Keynote Speaker Welcomes Toastmasters
I’ve been purposely not booking any talks as a Canadian motivational keynote speaker in January or even February since I don’t want to get all stressed out with hassles resulting from sudden bad weather days. Last year, a sudden wild snowstorm in January came on right on a day when I had to travel out of town to do a talk. It was just too stressful to travel when knowing there is an audience waiting.
So I decided to not travel to do any talks during the main winter months but I did have one exception in January which was to do my motivational keynote at World Vision which is located right here in Mississauga. Their internal Toastmasters club hosted the event which was an open house for their club.
Open Houses At Toastmasters Clubs
Although I am no longer involved with Toastmasters, I am still open to doing keynotes (but not short speeches) at Toastmasters clubs. What usually happens is that clubs hold an open house which the general public (or internal employee staff if a corporate Toastmasters club) is invited and I am featured as the guest keynote speaker.
Since World Vision was local and an easy drive, even if sudden snow comes, I agreed to this one speaking event in January. It just so happens that there was snowfall that day but it wasn’t bad enough to really affect driving.
The event went really well and this is what my contact Paskwa Mutunga, Project Manager of IT Implementation at World Vision had to say about it:
“Clint’s presentation at our Toastmasters club was absolutely outstanding. He showed us how to conquer our greatest obstacles using his own personal testimony as well as other examples we could relate with. Clint invited audience participation and used humor to keep us engaged. His message is simple and profoundly practical – make a 100% commitment to expand your comfort zone by 10% every week and you will see results. Thank you Clint & God bless!”
Any Toastmasters club interested in having me as a guest Canadian motivational keynote speaker is welcome to contact me but unless there is a travel budget, it would probably be a more feasible opportunity for clubs located within 2 hours of the greater Toronto area.
