EQ Leadership Toastmasters

10/24/2026

Taking a little time today to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beauty around me. 🌿💚

A quiet path and a bench among the trees—what a lovely reminder that we don’t have to fill every moment. Sometimes, simply being present is enough.

Grateful for this day and the simple joys along the way. Hope you find a moment to pause and enjoy yours, too! ☀️

🌟 Finding My Voice—and Paying It Forward 🌟

We’re proud to share an article by Dianne Young, DTM, a founding member who remains active in EQ Leadership Toastmasters, featured in the inaugural newsletter of Toastmasters District 212!

Dianne shares how Toastmasters helped her build the confidence to advocate for herself and others—and how her journey through leadership, personal challenges, healing, and service helped inspire the creation of our club.

After finding healing through Healing Warrior Hearts, Dianne partnered with Patricia Clason to establish EQ Leadership Toastmasters: a place where retreat graduates and others could stay connected, grow in emotional intelligence, and strengthen their communication and leadership skills.

💙 Her story reflects the heart of our club: finding your voice, building meaningful connections, and using what you learn to make a difference for others.

Here's how to read people...

09/01/2026

At EQ Leadership Toastmasters, we’re always looking for ways to become stronger, more thoughtful communicators — and the Word of the Day is one small but powerful tool.

Expanding our vocabulary helps us communicate with greater clarity and confidence, while incorporating a new word into an impromptu response challenges us to think creatively on our feet.

September’s word, EMBOLDEN, fits our club beautifully. We hope every meeting leaves our members and guests feeling a little more emboldened to speak, lead, connect, and grow. 🌟
