No-one is understands more about the importance of public speaking clubs than Linlithgow Speakers former President, Colin Hervey. This is what he says:
I joined Linlithgow Speakers 3 years ago. I was also a founding member of Stirling Speakers.
What does the President do?
Linlithgow Speakers former President, Colin Hervey, believes it is important to develop your public speaking skills. Here is what he says :
As former President of Linlithgow Speakers, I supported all the other club officers do their roles. I hosted approximately 3 meetings a year to ensure our club runs efficiently. I have experience of most of the club officer roles, so can help out other officers if required.
I oversaw the Distinguished club program and recognise members achievements.
I also spoke at external events to help promote the Toastmasters brand.
At Toastmaster you can only hold this role for a year, so I sought a successor to take over at the end of June 2020.
The importance of public speaking and leadership skills in today’s jobs market cannot be under estimated and it is my job to help our members develop these skills.
