QUOTES

Jahnavi: “While you're here in Toastmasters, you can make mistakes. Because in the real world, mistakes can cost you your job. Here, you can make a fool of yourself and we will be here to tell you what you're doing wrong in a friendly way.”

Somesh: “It's all about, in Toastmasters club, building connection, and then having the right conversation, and collaborating. All my learnings from the Toastmasters club and senior toastmasters and having a good mentor made me serve the community and the young people by paying it back. Because as I teach, I'm enhancing my public speaking skills.”

Somesh: “What surprised us as teachers is the discipline. They always respect each others' opinion, and more importantly, it's all about diversity, right? How do you have diverse opinions, when you are doing debates but in a healthy manner, still respecting each others' view? Sometimes it makes us adults also learn from these young people.”
