Maurice Taitt, DTM Thumbs Up Toastmasters Irving, Texas

The Speech Evaluation process was instrumental in honing my speaking skills. Table Topics helped immensely in presenting hotel development projects to cities across the U.S.A. I needed to be prepared to answer questions of which I had no advance knowledge.

Living, learning and leadership: I learned a lot from leaders who preceded me. I also learned how to encourage and motivate others to find their truest selves by looking deep within for hidden talents and abilities.

“I am a citizen of three nations and the Toastmasters International convention is the only place I can go and be guaranteed to meet people from all three nations. There is little to match the rush of being in a room with more than 2,000 Toastmasters from around the world.”
