Leadership Workshop
The 5Ps in Humor:
TIPS
These workshops were staged by District 17 and gave
many of our members the opportunity to learn new
skills which will benefit them in their Toastmasters
journey as well as their every day life. It was wonderful
to see so many Canning Vale members attend all of
these workshops.
After our District Council Meeting, we were privileged
to hear our Region Advisor, Steve Bullock, from New
Zealand tell us how District 72 in New Zealand have the highest ratio of Toastmaster
members per capita of population in the world.

Advanced Speeches—Special Occasion
By André Sequeira ACS CL
When I have to give a project speech, I
always like to choose a topical item for two
reasons. Firstly, it generates interest for
your audience and secondly it makes it
more realistic and meaningful for you as
the speaker. So when I had to give an
Advanced Speech from the Special
Occasion Speeches Manual with the
project, Speaking in Praise, I seized the
opportunity to speak about my Mum,
Joyce, who is currently visiting from India and enjoys attending Canning Vale
Toastmasters. Even though it sometimes feels awkward praising someone, it is one
of life’s greatest pleasures – to openly share your love and respect for another
person, especially in their presence. My Mum was taken completely by surprise as
she did not know that I was speaking that day or even the subject. However, the
icing on the cake for me, was the tremendous feedback I got from everyone present
that night. It was summed up beautifully when one of the members said, “André, I
have not even spoken to your Mum and yet I like her”. Thank-you Toastmasters for
giving me the platform and the privilege of honouring my Mum, a very special
person in my life.
Toastmaster’s Wisdom

things to the last
minute and get
into the habit of
reading and jot-
ting down notes
for your role in
the week to come.
Laughter
always helps
build a bridge
between us and
our family, our
friends or work
colleagues
Positive Promotion
Premiership (PPP)
Help us win the PPP award at the 2014
convention! Grab the Toastmasters Magazine
with the club stamp from the club and place it at
your surgery/dentist waiting room. Send your
picture evidence to Huili at [email protected].

What do you like best about Canning Vale
Toastmasters?
I love the family atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly
and supportive. I can honestly say every step I have
taken towards becoming a better public speaker is
because of the positive influences and support from
all Canning Vale members.
What do you do for a living?
I am a student, but a full time crazy cat lady.
How has Toastmasters helped you in your
job?
This semester there was an optional presentation for
a unit I was studying, in the past I would have 100%
turned down the opportunity. However this semester
I took the chance and ended up getting a distinction
for it! I would never have thought this would have
happened a year ago, but a lot can happen with
toastmasters training!
What’s next for you in Toastmasters?
I hope to finally finish my CC manual. I have been
progressing slowly and steadily, but I'm nearly there!
Carey-Ann Brett
Why did you join Toastmasters?
I was in my fifth year of law school and I still
had a pronounced fear of public speaking. I
realised that in order to succeed in any future
career I would have to overcome this fear.
Thankfully I came across toastmasters!
How long have you been a member?
I have been a member since December 2012.
