Today in
Taupo approximately 40 people celebrated the 40th anniversary of
POWERtalk Taupo. I was honoured to be among the 40 and it
feels like a double honour as in October I joined 50 people in Auckland to
celebrate 40 years of POWERtalk
Waitakere.
Formerly
known as International Toastmistress Clubs the new branding as POWERtalk International is in celebration
mode this year as we are 75 years young internationally. The organisation was started to encourage
women to have a voice; to increase their confidence and enhance their
leadership abilities.
Forty years
of providing leadership and presentation skills training to men and women in
New Zealand is an outstanding contribution.
Clubs set up in 27 countries throughout the world and the training
programme translated into languages such as Icelandic and Japanese, means we
are definitely part of a successful International organisation.
Hearing the
many reasons people joined clubs was stimulating and exciting, Hearing the successes; the stories of support
and encouragement and fabulous fellowship was heart-warming and uplifting.
We all did something good for ourselves when we joined a POWERtalk
International Club.
Congratulations
Taupo Club. 19 members attending
meetings; a Past International President and an International Speech Contest
finalist. A strong club getting stronger
daily.

I agree, it was a fabulous lunch with inspirational, successful women.
