Review of Term 2012-2013 by Geetha Sharanya

Review of term 2012-2013


Compressing the memories of 12 months into a clipping of less than 2 minutes has been a difficult task. However, this was much required.

I would like to share with you the story behind it. Success of a Toastmasters club can never be a one-man-show. A team must get together, share the passion, step up to the momentum and strive for the collective ambition of learning and sharing.

For the term 2012-2013, we have been high on membership, high on accolades, high on DCP goals. Most importantly, we have faced the challenges, solved the problems and are better than we were one year before.

If Toastmasters cannot make you a better leader,
you would at least become a
better speaker,
better listener, or
better thinker.

If none of the above,
Toastmasters will definitely make you a
better person.

Enjoy your journey!

Geetha Sharanya
Club President (2012-2013)

World Championship of Public Speaking Videos

Toastmasters International hosts the World Championship of Public Speaking each year. After months of regional elimination rounds, 30,000 international competitors are whittled down to nine finalists – the best public speakers in the world.

Part 1 video introduces the finalists, high off their semi-final victories, and follows them through 24 nerve-wracking hours of re-writes, self doubt, practice sessions, and last minute preparations for the biggest stage of their lives.


Part 2 video takes you inside the packed Toastmasters hall for the intense final round of competition. After a year of tireless preparations, this is the moment the finalists have been waiting for. Nine electrifying speeches, intimate backstage moments, and the crowning of a new World Champion of Public Speaking.


Can Toastmasters Help You Be a Better Public Speaker?
Yes, I am quite sure it can.

Practice is the key to helping you improve in public speaking.  If you are a Fearful Public Speaker living in Singapore, please come to visit our Kampong Ubi Toastmasters Club.
