Tom Flynn

Area 27 Director

I have been a member of Westport Toastmasters for 13 years. During that time I have filled all the Officer positions. Currently I am Area 27 Director in my second continuous year. Since becoming a member of Toastmasters I have overcome my shyness and progressed to being a competent communicator. I now visit schools in particular talking about and giving “Speechcraft” courses to Transition year students ages from 17 to 18 years of age. I hope this year to be awarded my DTM which would be icing on the cake for me.

 


What most excites me about my District role
As Area 27 Director I always find it a great pleasure, indeed an honour to visit the clubs in my area, listen to their ideas and concerns and hopefully respond in a positive way that is both enlightening and energising. I always use the opportunity to share ideas and new approaches.

What I would say to someone considering a Toastmasters leadership position is....
Don't just be content with a club Officer role though that is very important to and for the life of a club. Rather set your sights on a far wider horizon where your learned skills will be utilised but more importantly you will gain new leadership skills that you can apply not only at club level, but also in your place of work and community.
