High Performance Leadership

Today I received a recognition letter and certificate for completing the High Performance Leadership Program by Toastmasters International. The letter says:

Dear Toastmaster Viramo,

Congratulations on achieving the Leadership Excellence Award. Earning this award is a great accomplishment. Not every Toastmaster has the drive and dedication necessary to achieve this award.

Today, more than ever, our world needs strong, confident leaders. By completing a project using the High Performance Leadership program, you have demonstarted outstanding leadership skills. You are, indeed, an effective leader and a dedicated Toastmaster.

In your role as leader, you have shown that good leadership skills help to improve self-confidence and, by fostering understanding between people, aid in enhancing human relations.

I am privileged to recognize you with the Leadership Excellence award. Your outstandning achievement will serve as an inspiration to all Toastmasters.

Sincerely,

Nancy Langton, Director

Naturally it feels awesome to be recognized from the TMI head office for my personal achievement in such a formal way; it even feels better having achieved another goal and milestone of becoming a better speaker and leader. My own committment for myself is very strong:-). 

Toastmasters International educational system is wrapped tightly around on the deepest need of the human nature: the need for recognition. When you enter a Toastmasters Club anywhere in the world, you will be greeted by friendly fellow Toastmasters, and you will be continously supported along your journey  of becoming better speaker and leader, by the local, national and the international Toastmasters community. There are so many things corporations and businesses can learn from the VOLUNTEER organizations such as Toastmasters International. Respect!
